    Risk reward is your choice, of course. But these are somewhat new waters of default levels and the FDIC. Past performance may not be an accurate indicator for the future. This seems like a rather large chunk of change to risk when it’s not really needed to risk. In a receeding market, capital preservation is absolutely critical. There’s no upside anywhere right now and lots of downside happening and coming down the pike. Take an ultra defensive position and wait for the bottom. My opinion FWIW.

    THE PROBLEM WITH WORD ON THE STREEET… IS THAT IS ALL IT IS… WACHOVIA IS THE 4TH LARGEST BANK IN THE NATION.. NOT IN BRANCHES OR MTG. BUT ON ACTUAL ASSETS.. THEY ARE VERY WELL DIVERSIFIED. THE WORSE THING THAT COULD HAPPEN IS THAT IT COULD MERGE AGAIN… AND AS FAR AS THE BROKER GOES. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR ANY BANK EMPLOYEE TO COMMENT ON THE STABILITY OF ANOTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTION..

    LETS NOT BE STUPID PEOPLE.
