Happy Bank Failure Friday!

With the election just 'round the corner, the FDIC is papering over the cracks in our banking system as fast as possible.

The stunts with robo-signing, CDS, SPVs, and (unfathomable) tranches has made it impossible for anyone to really know what is owned and who owns it - did my SPV buy 1/360 of all mortgage payments, or only the rights to the mortgage amount paid on the 243 installment? -

Last week saw a remarkable 3 failed banks - KS and MO - (oddly, both are red states - I wonder how if a political appointee had anything to do with this - .... Nah!) -

Congratulations go out to 1970 silver art, Apparition, and (unknown) for predicting 3 - though none chose MO or KS for the tiebreaker.

How many go down this week? Please enter your Ruprick tie-breaker if you want.

Best wishes and good luck!

I'll guess that there'll be 3-4 bank failures.

I'm guessing 5-6, but 7 won't surprise me. Watch for some other news to out-shine the Bank Failures . . . . Who actually pays attention to these besides us?? Nobody I know . . .

This will just be a very boring bank failure Friday today. Nothing to see here. I will predict 1-2 bank failures today and the powerball is Tennessee.

Nevada for the Ruprick.

2 today - not a chance for Nevada (Harry Reid needs all the non-bad news he can get) - I'll predict we'll stay in the midwest - Nebraska is about due.....

There is no rug to sweep the bad banks under. Election or not, they're go to tumble.
