Li vina SMART MONEY I asked my dad a question about the DIC but he had no answer Today my teacher was discussing loans and com pound interest simple interest and so forth A question came to me about the DIC during class so I asked him: Could the DIC take out another loan for any reason from another bank or any financial insti tution? He know either What the ederal Deposit Insur ance Corporation does and does not do is one of great mysteries Simply put a government agency' that collects an insurance premium from every insured institution bank savings and loan etc If that institution fails the DIC guarantees up to $100000 per depositor It is a federal agency and if it gets into seri ous financial trouble say because of an enormous bank collapse the fed eral government would provide the money to bail it out This has never happened and it probably never wilL Thanks for a very good question Bruce Williams is syndicated by United Media mail him at brucesbnjcewilliamscom BRUCE WILLIAMS NL via mail.
