Ouch

70+k in more unemployment claims.

I heard it again... how the small banks were going to have MBS write downs....

This is stupid... as a bank why would you buy the premium attached to a mbs, instead of loaning more money.

There are some of the small bankers who looked at the securitisation, and thought it was a joke. I'll say it again, this stuff was disclosed quarters ago.... go through conferences, and if they didn't disclose worry.

There are certainly some, who will have some exposure... but nothing like Citi and morgan....
BBT *cough*...


it's a bear run.

but that unemployment number sucks!!!

Well Game on today. See if I put on a short hedge.
