But, we've had a large increase in HedgeLoan applications over the past two weeks. Evidently people have decided that securities financing products and services have "weathered the storm", and you know what?  We have.

Now more and more people are beginning to think that being able to have one's stocks working for you at the same time you use the non recourse loan cash from securities financing for investments, debt restructuring, or other means of maintaining and strengthening financial health -- is the only way to survive the economic storm.
