OMG, another bank failed!

March 20th, 2010 at 05:03 pm

Well, I am not having much good luck lately. About 6 weeks ago, a local bank of mine failed. I had a large sum on money tied up in c.d.'s there, paying 4% for another year. They immediately lowered my rate to 1%, so I withdrew all the money.
I opened c.d.'s in another bank with the money. Best rate I could get was 2%.

I logged into my accounts this morning to see that the fdic has taken over the other bank. That means my rates will be lowered again.

Wow, 2 banks of mine failed, within6 weeks.
This town only has 4 banks and another failed yesterday also. I did not have any money in that bank.

I wonder what will happen next?

    I think it does. This place was becoming a boom town with all the florida people moving to the mountains. Everyone because a builder and everyone built spec houses. Now all these houses are sitting and the banks are foreclosing on them. These banks just made too many loans.

    That is too bad! At least your money is safe, but a pain to keep moving around.

    There are over 725 banks on the watch list. And of course we don't get to know who they are. Its a crap shoot.

    That is alarming, but glad your $$ is safe. The mattress is starting to look pretty good, isn't it?
