I know many don't really care about banking situation in our country. A couple sobering thoughts for those paying any attention.
1.http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/283688 FDIC lost money for first time since 1991, and most bank closures this year since 1992. Tip of the iceberg ,imo and heres' why:
2. cnnmoney.com--outstanding "risky" commercial loans
2006-95 billion
2007-114 billion
2008-373 billion
2009-642 billion!!
My prediction for 2010 is over 300 banks will fail and if we get a domino effect, could be the most EVER. 539 in 1984 is the record.
I'm not a financial guru, just a student of money. Last year, I believe it was 26 banks that failed. 5 times as many this year. If same 5 times happens next year, we'll set a record and be in a DEEP tank. Rich
