More banks failed in the United States this year (2010) than in any
year since 1992, during the savings-and-loan crisis, according to the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

...the nation is closing out the year with 157 bank failures, up from
140 in 2009. As recently as 2006, before the bubble burst, there were
none.

Now, there are more on the horizon.

The FDIC's list of "problem" banks ... stood at 860 as of Sept. 30,
the highest since 1993. Historically, about a fifth of banks on the
watch list end up failing.

(So 1/10th of 860 would be 86 banks; 1/5th would then be 43 banks
likely to fail in 2011, supposedly.)

Bank failures have left the FDIC insurance fund in the red...
(...)
...On average, the banks that failed this year were much smaller than
those that failed last year.
(...)
"These are very small institutions," Townsend said. "The total assets
that they represent is insignificant compared to the financial system
as a whole..."
(...)
The list of failed institutions at the FDIC is filled with community
banks that would not be considered "too big to fail."
(...)
About half of the the 2010 failures involved banks headquartered in
four states: California, Florida, Georgia and Illinois.
(...)
As of Sept. 30, the FDIC insurance fund for bank deposits had a
balance of NEGATIVE $8 billion ...
(...)

The full article kept saying the FDIC was "PREDICTING" this or that
(three times the word was used!) but no biggie, they can handle it,
etc. With all that "predicting" going on, I wondered if the ghost of
Jeane Dixon had been hired by the FDIC?

CONTENT (& LINKS) BELOW THIS THIRD LINE IS DIRECTLY FROM THE IPHONE
NOTES APP (via simply "COPYING" the content from the Notes app & then
"PASTING" it into this email. Does that make a difference? I have no
idea which is why I'm testing all scenarios :) :
