Another Friday - another opportunity!

Last week saw MNeagle dominate the board with the correct choice of 8 banks.

It would seem the FDIC put in an honest amount of work (the preceding two weeks saw "remarkable" government effectiveness.

I found it odd that little attention was paid to Shorebank's failure - an Illinois bank with connections to both global warming credits and our Narcissist-in-Chief President.

Can they continue or was this a flash in pan?

For the Ruprick - choose a state to mentioned. (GA and FL remain handicapped in the event of ties.)

Get your choices in by 5 pm ET Friday -

Good luck all!

:)

May I have everybody's attention please:

Folks, everything is back to normal. I repeat.....Everything is back to normal. There is really nothing to see here. Just move on with your lives and let the FDIC handle it. Everything is under control. :D

I am calling for 3-4 bank failures for Friday (August 27, 2010). The Ruprick is Georgia.

"normal" = 3 to 4 bank failures.

EDIT: This is my definition of normal.

I say "normal" 3-4, they don't want to scared the American people to much........if they cannot longer hide it it will then be 7 or more.

Looks like the FDIC went away on vacation.

Strange.

Awful - looks like skunkage across GSUS!

The 8 last week was a fluke - perhaps someone didn't read the "Recovery Summer" memo.

See you all next week!

I'm way off this time. I think they went on early vacation. I am betting next week will be zero as well.

Maybe they are preparing for the Epic Bank Failure Whoopsie (20+ bank failures in one day).

I think it is more likely they have to set off personell to take over a big bank, one that may have been considered too big to fail? The skeleton of Citibank comes to mind. After being looted, by the other to big to fail and managements pals...
