If I had to guess, I’d say Wachovia.

This isn’t related to the possible closing, but,,, I turned the water off at a house that someone walked away from recently. Posted on the front of the house was the case #. The plaintiff? Deutsche Bank National Trust Company.

If it turns out to be Wells-Fargo, they'll have to change their motto from "Seize your tomorrow" to "Seizure tomorrow".

(Thank you, thank you very much.)

He must have a big short position.

You can't trust anyone in the investment business anymore because they ALWAYS have a finger in the pie.

Anymore they are like the Russians; if their mouths are moving, they are lying.

I read this today: Some thing there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Others think the tunnel will collapse first.

It's Wachovia - they are in serious, serious trouble. Washington Mutual won't survive, either, but they aren't as big.

Money center banks like Bank of America are "protected institutions", and the Fed will do whatever it has to to prop them up.

Wamu is iffy, Wachovia is likely to survive with a much lower stock price, but Lehman is going down.

I don’t have to worry, my bank is a small regional bank and most of my $$ is in a Credit Union.

This isn’t even news anymore. Since IndyMac, Bear and the GSEs folded, what could be bigger? Somebody predicting more of the same doesn’t even raise my radar.

A big bank will fail. DUH! How about predicing if we are talking about 5 big banks or 50 failing. That would be a prediction woth discussing. A bank smaller than Indy or Bear folding? Well, duh. Tell me something I don’t already know.

The only value in this article is to indicate to people that the crisis has quite a ways to go before it is over and the economic climate improves. But the doomers and gloomers already know this and the Freepyannas aren’t ready to believe it.

A mild prediction overall.

Wacovia has one of my 401k's. That wouldn't be so good. BoA I wouldn't mind seeing sink. I have a "left over" checking account with them I stopped adding cash to. Use their bank card for shopping at Aldi.

As long as US Bank stays afloat, I don't need to worry too much about my mortgage...

I cannot believe the number of hateful idiots on this thread wishing for the failure of this bank or that bank and in the process they do not give a damn about the millions of people who will be hurt if a bank collapse. Do you people thrive on hate and anger? Do you have any shame left in you? Who are you people?

PS: Come back with your typical idiotic reply and tell me that calling people names and hateful is a liberal tactic.
