Treasury may have to play a waiting game to get its TARP loans paid back, according to Sandler O'Neill analyst Kevin Fitzsimmons. A fall in stock prices has increased the size of TARP payments relative to market caps, making it trickier for banks to raise money via debt or equity offerings. Banks stuck holding an unwieldy tab: RF, ZION, SNV, BPOP, (full TARP scorecard).
