FDIC more or less is out of money to insure your deposit. Every Friday more bank failures. Here is the list of possible bank failures,

In a local credit union, I GUESS they could be hurting , but they have always seemed pretty conservative in their lending practices, and never got into real estate lending

Well, crap.

I guess that seals the deal, I am dropping my bank and going to the Evil Borg Bank (Chase).

The only money I keep in my Wachovia account is to pay the rent.

Everything else is at HSBC or in the vault at my bunker.

My actual bank is not on the list.  Local Credit Union for the County I live in.  They just started building a new branch, and they are pretty tight on who they loan money to (members only, etc).

However I have to check on Tower Bank in Ft. Wayne, because I have a Health Savings Plan through work with that bank.  I don't know if it's through that branch, if it's the only one, etc... there's about $1,900 in that account.

Edit - Fuck, same bank.  I guess I need to do something about that.

Those aren't banks, they're just branches. Usually banks that have failing branches get bought out to another bank that then convert that failing branch into something different.

No, those are banks, unless you think that Citibank has a branch in Las Vegas with one trillion dollars.





Credit unions are not immune... mine has two stars of five according to BankRate

My bank's not on the list, but I don't keep more than two month's expenses at the bank.  It would suck to lose it, but wouldn't sink me.

The list is the "TheStreet.com" opinion for investment purposes. It is not a list of  banks on the verge of failing.

Did you know...
<cut from HSBC web page:>

The HSBC Group has an international pedigree which is unique. Many of its principal companies opened for business over a century ago and they have a history which is rich in variety and achievement. The HSBC Group is named after its founding member, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, which was established in 1865 to finance the growing trade between China and Europe.

The FDIC has 13 billion in the bank with an additional 500 billion credit line by congress. Let me stress 500 billion credit line, it's not in bank and congress can cancel it anytime.

Corus and Guaranty Bank is on the chopping block for over a month. Closing down Guaranty will cost the FDIC at least 11 billion. Closing down Corus will cost much more.

The bank stress test that was done a few months ago is a joke. Banks are in a worst shape then the were in 08. Large amount of US banks are begging the FDIC to take them over.

Most loans are actually own by more then one bank. If one bank fail the others will have the option to buy the debt at a reduce cost.

Get your money out of the banks said Karl. Even with the 500 billion credit line (which the FDIC don't have it in the bank), if there is a domino effect on bank failures you might not be able to get your money out for some time.
