Down 77 cents in that chart but $1 real time now. Think some people have finally put 2+2 together and realized that they held a similar, not identical, but similar portfolio to Indymac? It does not take rocket science to figure out that these bankster stocks are dropping for a reason.
For everyone’s sanity and sake, do not be a sheeple and pay attention to what is happening. Do not have more than the insured $100,000 in any one of these banks. And remember that when the government speaks, they have their own motivations and could not give a crap about protecting your best interests. Not during this ongoing crisis and not for the long term.
You are nothing more than a source of income for their folly. Remember that fact.
