Will Wachovia Go Bankrupt?

Wachovia’s stock hit $8.02 on Friday from its 52 week high of $52.25. Will Wachovia be bought by the Citi group? Is Wachovia last on the bailout list? Sunday’s announcement of $700 billion will boost the market, but how soon will the cash injection and bailout take place?

Wachovia, National City or Downey Financial, which one will go Bankrupt first?

Will the Government bail me out?

$ 700 billion bailout plan will flop because people are still loosing job and foreclosure are going high every day. Credit crunch start from the people who don’t have job to pay their bill on time. if $ 700 billion distribute among the people of America, currency in circulation will go up and every one will have extra money to pay their bill.

Why the biggest bank like Wamu fail? Why WaMu CEO Alan Fishman is entitled to $11.6 million in cash severance and to keep his $7.5 million signing bonus?

Has Bailout helped the U.S. economy?

After Bear Stearns’ bailout U.S housing market is still in tremble. Now again Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been bailed out by the Government. which did not improve the U.S housing market so far. Now Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual are looking for a bailout. How long and how many companies will the U.S goverment keep bailing out? Would Bailout with tax payer money help the U.S economy? Is it fair, to give away tax payer money, for some CEO wrong business judgement? Is it fair that common stock holders loose there money because of the government taking over of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? At the same time, each CEO gets paid Fifteen Million Dollars for the “Golden Handshake.”

Will Washington Mutual bankrupt?

Today Washington Mutual stock hit 52-week low to $ 2.30. On September 09, 2007 Washington Mutual stock was $ 39.25. Why So low today? Will Washington Mutual bankrupt?

Will Lehman Brothers servive?

With two quarters negative earning Lehman Brothers hit 52 week low again to $ 3.54. Without Fed interveal, will Lehman Brother survive? Is it healthy to sign to fall commercial bank?

Bailout or buyout?

Today Lehman Brothers went down 52week low again which is $ 3.88 and Washington Mutual went down to $ 1.75.  What will Happen this weekend? will be bailout or will be buyout by another bank? If buyout what will happen to common stocker holder? What will happen if Nobody bail them out nor Buyout?

Is it end of US financial industry?

US financial industry falling apart in Bush Administration,  

 

After Bear Stearns, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae,

1. On September 5, 2008, Silver State Bank, Henderson, NV was closed
2. On August 29, 2008, Integrity Bank, Alpharetta, GA was closed

13. On February 2, 2007, Metropolitan Savings Bank, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was closed

Who is next Washington Mutual, Lehman, Wachovia or AIG?????

Who is next to bankrupt?

After Bear Stearns, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae were bailed out, Goverment had let thirteen banks fail, without bailing them out. Who will be the next to fail?Lehman and Wamu? is AIG next? Who is after that? Wachovia Bank and Merrill Lynch? Will the Government Bail every one out?

Will AIG be bankrupt?

After disaster of Hurricane Ike in Texas, Houston residence and business owners will claim for their damages, who ever is insured with AIG, who will claim it from AIG, Which will be about Eight Billion Dollars to Eighteen Billion Dollars. How is AIG gonna pay those claims? The world’s biggest insurer, is planning a Twenty billion dollar asset sell-off, Who will invest in such a recession market? AIG’s stock hit fifty-two week low on Friday to $ 11.49 from its high $ 70.13. Hank Paulson – The man who saved Fannie and Freddie, is the farm boy who grew up to become the US Treasury Secretary, will he be able to save AIG. Will AIG be bankrupt soon?

Will Fed rate cut solve global financial tremble?

Wreckage from a massive crisis on Wall Street could prompt the Federal Reserve to do an about face and once again cut a key interest rate very soon. If Fed rate cut, will it solve financial tremble?

Don’t expect the central bank to cut interest rates soon at its regularly scheduled FMOC meeting following the Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and AIG developments, even though that’s the action it took in March when Bear Stearns was on the ropes.

If Fed did not cut key interest rate, will AIG and Washington Mutual Bankrupt?

If Fed cut interest rate, will AIG be able to raise $ 40 billion to protect from bankruptcy? What will happen to inflation and weak Dollar in global financial industry?

Can $ 700 Billion save average American Home and Jobs?

$700 billion bailout for the battered U.S. financial system may drag into next week as Washington lawmakers haggle over what party supporter ( R or D ) will get how much bailout.

Will it Prevent job loss or foreclosure? Will homeowners Be Bailed Out or not?

The biggest losers are average American who are the common stock holder of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Lehman Brothers, Wamu and AIG. Can $ 700 Billion save their portfolio?

What will happen to higher commodity price due to weak Dollar and higher gas price? Will it help average American?

Did the Government screw up Wamu?

Finally Washington Mutual is down. Why government did not bail them out or government want Chase Bank to get Wamu asset with very cheap price?

Another bank failed on September 19, 2008, Ameribank, Inc., Northfork, WV.

Is Sunday is best day to announces bailout? Is $ 700 billion will go up to $ 1.8 Trillion?

Make your Bets? Which bank is Next?

Henry Paulson called for the plan’s swift implementation, but said the financial crisis would not end soon.

Seven central banks on Wednesday cut interest rates in an effort to steady the faltering global economy.

But the moves failed to cheer world stock markets, and Thursday saw sluggish sales on Asia’s main indexes.

Japan’s benchmark Nikkei index was volatile, having suffered its biggest one-day drop in 21 years the previous day shedding nearly 10% of its value.
