It now joins an infamous list of collapsed banks, topped by Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Co., which failed in 1984 with $40 billion of assets.

A bit of hyperbole... That $40 billion in 1984 would be $82.4 billion in 2007 dollars. If we survived the (in 2007 dollars) $82.4 billion bank failure in 1984, I think we can survive one that's not even 40% of that value...

Good point...

But, the question is: How much more is there to come?

After all that has already come...

I believe the debt the U.S. government has and the banks on shaky ground is why you will see the Dow go down to about 9000—maybe lower...

Follow the money...
