real estate and beyond network: 150+ AMERICAN BANKS PROJECTED TO FAIL - 08/23/09 06:46 PM
Analyst Bove sees 150-200 more U.S. bank failures
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A prominent banking analyst said on Sunday that 150 to 200 more U.S. banks will fail in the current banking crisis, and the industry's payments to keep the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp afloat could eat up 25 percent of pretax income in 2010.
Richard Bove of Rochdale Securities said this will likely force the FDIC, which insures deposits, to turn increasingly to non-U.S. banks and private equity funds to shore up the banking system.
"The difficulty at the moment is finding enough healthy banks to buy the failing … (7 comments)

real estate and beyond network: CASH FOR CLUNKERS ENDS - 08/22/09 10:47 AM
The Federal Government has been on a spending spree this month by allocating $3 billion towards "CASH FOR CLUNKERS." The goal of the program was to give people incentive to trade in their old car for a new one to stimulate the car industry. People were able to obtain up to $4500 in incentives. However, many experts have stated that this caused a limited supply of good used cars and parts for the month of August. However, I am sure one can still obtain a great deal on used cars.
