Banks are hurting. Bank of Bonifay has already been bought out, courtesy of you guys and the Tarp funds. I think Protective Life is buying them and it closes this month. Vision Bank actually has a pretty strong parent company in Ohio, I think, and is probably in better shape than the chart would suggest.

You know alot about banking and/or loans. Can you help me with what the chart means by below-well-capitalized? It sounds like it means kinda limbotic.

I love that one of the banks is called Integrity. :funn:

Santiago, my understand was that Vision bank was propped up with condo mortgages and was a "developers" bank. Seems a lot of banks appeared on the scene during the boom. If those boom mortgages go bust won't the banks that seem to be there solely to store them?

I think that Vision would already be bust had it not been bought out. My knowledge of their company actually came from a competitor of Vision who said that their parent bank, Park out of Ohio is well capitalized and strong. I think moreso than condo mortgages they were heavy into lots, construction and development.
