How many banks...
 
....and bank-related businesses will fail in the next few months?

Wachovia Securities was raided today.

Bank of American is teetering.

Several other massive financial organizations are on a sharp downward slide.

Gee - that must be why all their stocks have increased by a couple of
dollars or more since yesterday.

Oh yeah - increased stock value is a sure sign of a banks imminent
failure in the Land of Hope and Change.

Of course the rest of the world looks at it differently.

Yeah, that explains why Bank of America shares are half the price of
what they were last fall.

"Merrill Lynch takes heavy 2Q write-downs; Sells stake in Bloomberg for
$4.4B

NEW YORK (AP) -- Merrill Lynch & Co. on Thursday reported a $4.9 billion
loss amid massive write-downs from soured mortgage positions and other
risky investments, and unveiled plans to raise money by unloading assets.

The world's largest brokerage posted its fourth straight quarterly loss as
it struggles to shore up a balance sheet battered by the global credit
crisis. Merrill Lynch took $9.4 billion of charges and write-downs from
mortgage-backed securities, unprofitable hedge positions, and residential
mortgage exposure."

The depression begins....in spite of the stock market tinkering the last
few days.

Let the public hangings begin.....Drag them out of their mansions and hang
them in the street for the other ones to see....

Isn't it amazing how they can simply make mountains of money vanish without
a trace?

Never mind, I found it. Took my money out of their bank, yesterday, before
the rush.

It is very easy to tamper with the stock price. What drove the stock price
DOWN to under $10/share was daily massive selling like 255M shares the day
before it rose again.

Bankers control massive money to manipulate any stock....especially their
buddy bankers in trouble....to make people, like you I suppose, think
everything is hunky dory, dispite billions of dollars in losses to the
contrary.
