<<What banks stocks do you recommend to short.>>

Hi Mike:

My purpose in starting the thread was not to represent myself as an expert in the field but rather to solicit opinions from others more knowledgeable than me on what appears to be a timely subject. The big banks listed in the header have been mentioned repeatedly as having significant exposure to risk. Both commercial and investment banks are reporting losses in specific areas of the world and brokerage firms will probably take a hit in a downturn. But as to specific recommendations and timing I am hoping others will chime in with suggestions. One approach might be to short a basket(case) consisting of JPM, BT, CMB, and CCI and watch them carefully.

And more food for thought:
