"You mean why are they buying stock in banks that are doing fine? I don’t get that either. "

It's simple! The socialists are taking over the banks. From now on if you can get a loan, the minimum price will be in excess of 5% because that is what the feds expect to get for the cash infusion.

This is but one way the socialist are going to take over the economy and run it into the ground. Rather that save the failing banks, the socialists intend that the stable ones be brought down to the level of the ones who are failing.

That way the money of the rich is transfered to the poor.
