CIT, i don't think the student loans are CIT's problem
The larger problem is that they are not done writing off their mortgage assets. The new 10k provides some more insight (the 5 loan pool buckets) and it does not look pretty. they were able to extract 5.2B$ in cash from a little less than 10B$ in loans so they are still sitting on 5B$ in net assets of which 50% is constituted of loans with pretty bad looking stats (they somehow avoid the toxic word subprime). My loss estimate of 2B$ from December 2007 still holds, in fact it could be more than that the way things have been going lately.
