Not this time, apparently. Stocks are flat, at best. Maybe the Fannie and Freddie soap opera is too "bad" for even a phony rally.

NCC bank just halted stocks are now headed south.
edit now denying rumors they are experiencing a bank run, IMHO we are hitting panic levels.
Who in their right mind would keep any money over the FDIC limits in the banks that are listed as being in trouble.
We are in the midst of a modern Bank Run folks

NCC carries my small mortgage which is FHA backed. Guess I'll get a letter on whom to write the check to next time. I wonder if it will be "Please make checks payable to FDIC"?
I better pay attention and make sure they are paying the escrow on taxes. At this point I could cancel the PMI and pay the taxes myself.
Any advice?

I've got my direct deposit going into WaMu, and I am SERIOUSLY considering switching that over to my other bank, on a dormant account that I now barely use.

This is what we call a self fulfilling prophesy.
If the MSM tells you "Its bad!" then guess what? People panic and it really does become "Its bad!"
Any bets we make it to Wednesday without any major problems?

No not really, your exposure is pretty limited to them.
People banking at WaMu are should be more concerned their balance sheet is terrible and they could easily go under. This was true back when CFC decided to sell out to Bank of America.
If your bank is on that list I sure would make sure to have some cash on hand. |

Spec I disagree, with you.
The Indy Mac story was buried this weekend most National papers did not put it on the front page or barely mentioned it.
The Treasury coming out early Sunday with the Fan/Fre bailout was very unusual.
Things are that bad, the official story is all is well, very similar to PO, when in fact things could hardly be more FUBAR right now. |

Good thinking. Any way you can separate yourself from this mess and take care of business directly is the way to go. There have been reports of mess-ups with escrow for failed mortgage banks in the past year. Go on a "disconnect from paper" campaign.
And this has been posted before, but it's timely now.
