Yeah, I only really wanted to say there were different levels to how might approach this stuff, not try to rank their smartness.

On the one hand, the news reports seemed to vaguely imply that some pretty wealthy people were standing in line for quite a while and I assume that was time they could use to make money other ways.

On the other hand, maybe everyone withdrawing money knew things were safe but also "knew the drill", knew the Fed needed their complaints to bolster it's actions.
