Although most of us are watching FNM and FRE today, the rest of the banks/lenders are being demolished:
Firstfed Financial -30%
Washington Mutual -30%
Wachovia Bank -9%
Merrill Lynch -5%
Citigroup -3%
Lehman Bros. -2%
Unless the FED wants to bail-out these zombies as well, lights out for the U.S. financial system might come sooner than we think.
