So I have to wonder when Citi's true financials will leak out, their stock drops to below $1 per share, and the "post bail out" version of Wachovia swoops in to "rescue" them.

I think the past week alone is proof enough that anything can happen, don't you?]]>

I have never seen any advertising regarding how a bank can cut 3.8 seconds from a transaction. I have seen advertising for valuable products though... such as a fixed rate mortgages and savings products.
Questions:
How did you determine how "trust" corellates with the key drivers for the rankings you provided in this article? Your website reflects a very different ranking order when it comes to Loyalty. Not to mention, your website states that the ATV's are treated in the following manner: "These category-loyalty drivers describe (in predictive terms) how consumers view the category, how they will compare brands in the category, and how they will buy and remain loyal."
Are the rankings posted in your article "predictive" or factual based on direct responses from questions asked specifically containing the verbiage to include "trust"?

Thank you.
