Bank Stress Test Results LEAKED! // "in timp ce investitorii asteapta rezultatele testelor de stres" Bank Stress Test Results LEAKED! The stress tests were conducted to determine how well, if at all, the top 19 banks in the USA could withstand further or future economic hardship. When the tests were completed, regulators within the Treasury and inside the Federal Reserve began bickering with each other as to whether or not the test results should be made public. That bickering continues to this very day as evidenced by this “main stream media” report. The Turner Radio Network has obtained the stress test results. They are very bad. The most salient points from the stress tests appear below: 1) Of the top nineteen (19) banks in the nation, sixteen (16) are already technically insolvent. 2) ... continuarea aici: http://turnerradionetwork.blogspot.com/2009/04/leaked-bank-stress-test-reults.html

"vast majority of US banks" // There are a lot of banks in America. There are 1,722 institutions on the Fed’s list of “large commercial banks”. And I have no doubt that most of these banks — indeed, the vast majority — are in fine shape. That’s because they’re regional institutions that never got into the risky games played by the big guys. But the big guys are where the money is. The top 10 institutions on that list have 58 percent of the assets. (If we looked at bank holding companies rather than only commercial banks, assets would be even more concentrated.) So it’s perfectly possible that the “vast majority” of US banks are well-capitalized, but that banks with, say, a third of the system’s assets are insolvent. What Geithner said, then, was true but useless. If anything, his wording was cause for concern: Treasury knows the difference between raw numbers of banks and asset holdings, even if the press seemed to miss the distinction, and if he’d meant to say that the vast majority of assets are held by sound banks, he would have.
