When Al Gore was Vice President, his team had an idea for deregulating a significant portion of the telecommunications industry.

Malibu Equity and Investments.

A modern market is more than a website it's a web of interoperable marketplaces, back office mechanisms, regulatory regimes, settlement mechanisms, liquidity sources and so on.

I don't want to draw this box.

And rich, eh?

I'll do that in yellow.

It should start to make a little bit of intuitive sense

Malibu Equity and Investments. Roger Van Zant.

Obviously , a machine you can't do all of those things to it, but you can at least touch it and possibly smell and taste it.

Let me relabel another thing because the gold is a different color just so you see the gold.

But let's just kind of think about a generic balance sheet for a bank.
