WaMu on the Brink

The F.D.I.C. has roughly 53 billion to cover WaMu, NatCity and any one else. They will be short. Oh yeah, they spoke with the Fed about additional capital. Unless we witness a miracle in the credit markets, the F.D.I.C. will technically be insolvent and they will have to hit up the Fed for additional capital.
What a mess.

Looking for Solid Returns from Big Oil

"BP kind of shaky"... Tremendous analytical call. Next tell me that the 5% Dividend is shaky. BP has their hand in all of the available alternative energy options. Go check out their website.

StatoilHydro (I have owned STO and NHY for years before the recent combination) is over 50% state owned. STO is licking their chops as the icecaps melt so that they can get in and drill in the Arctic before the Russkies. Please don't preach carbon neutrality when it comes to Integrated Oils. You are cherry picking information and presenting it as fact.
