What ? That's a pretty big assumption, and not at all a "fact" as you portray it. If you think the pricing services, used by banks to value illiquid assets, are understating their actual bid price in a true open market than you are an idiot. Participation in this program will more likely lead to an acceleration of larger write downs. Your article is comical and extremely naive. ]]> Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:43:01 -0400

When the economy improves and the mortgage market stabilizes this bank will still be stuck in neutral with no real plan. If it survives, it will lag its peers for decades. ]]> Sun, 22 Feb 2009 10:08:05 -0500

To equate this as an all clear signal for FITB is just plain stupid. Is FITB on the same path as NCC no, but it is still one of the worst regionals out there. FITB was in a free fall long before the current mortgage crisis, and they will remain a laggard long after other banks start to recover. ]]> Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:40:26 -0500

You have to be kidding, if you bought BRK.A 10 years ago at 80,000 it would now be worth a whopping 116,000, that flat out sucks. That's 3.75% a year, you would have been better off in a Treasury Bond. You deserve to be slaughtered in this market. ]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:50:38 -0400
