Tomorrow is Friday, which bank will the FDIC close?

[PadreBrian]

Bush has been doing these on Friday nights…which is good…it prevents/slows down the run on the failing banks.

I was surprised that the FDIC did not close any banks last Friday, but do they close two to make up for it this week? Both Downey and Vineyard need permission from regulators to operate, so their days are numbered. When there are articles like this a FDIC takeover is getting very close http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/vineyard-bancorp-cautions-may-not/story.aspx?guid=%7BDB320FFA%2D96B9%2D4B31%2DAFE2%2DA0008AF38830%7D&siteid=yhoof

This is an old thread that I thought of after Vineyard got seized last week. They made it a hell of a lot longer than I thought they would.

Anyhow, I’m hearing through the grapevine that FBOP Corp. isn’t long for this world. It’s a private bank holding company with 100% of the stock owned by a very nice guy, a once-disciplined banker. But he took on too much construction and development and… bought $1.2 billion of Fannie/Freddie trust preferred that went to zippo. And he levered up. The two killers of banking: concentration and leverage. They’ll get you every time.

Anyhow, FBOP owns San Diego National, Cal National up in LA, and Pacific National in SF, among other banks in Texas, Arizona, and Illinois. I suspect that these will all fail in due course.

Also, locally, it looks like Imperial Capital is headed for the skids. Between Imperial Capital and San Diego National, that’s two fairly large local institutions. For what it’s worth.
