On the $700 billion bailout of the investment banks, the Trib reports:

… it appears increasingly likely the package will contain more oversight for those buying the distressed assets; limits on executive compensation for companies participating in the program; language providing taxpayers an equity stake in some of the transactions; and perhaps a provision allowing bankruptcy judges to modify some mortgages.

Does that mean I’ll receive a dividend check when AIG finally turns a profit again? … if they ever do. I’d like to see that in writing.
