With that bank out in California going down the tubes and Bear-Sterns a few months ago, how is your bank doing? FDIC says there are 90 other banks in this country that are on their watch list, that could fail very soon. I wanted to know how my bank was doing, so I typed in FDIC watch list. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. does not publicly publish the list. But it did give a link to; http://www.bankrate.com/brm/safesound/ss_home.asp (http://www.bankrate.com/brm/safesound/ss_home.asp)
It will list all banks in the country with a 1 to 5 star rating. 1 star is not very good, 5 star is excellent. For example, my bank ,B B & T, was rated 3 stars.
A so called financial expert was on the news and said that as long as you didn't have more than $100,000 in any one account, you were safe, because it was guaranteed by the US Government. Is that supposed to make me feel good? The US Government is 9 trillion dollars in debt! That's $9,000,000,000,000.
