good point...

it's trading right up there on par with BSC

yes, that would be sarcasm <gg>

seriously though..if you think the financials are out of the woods, then go for it..but i think we still have a transparency problem, which i expect will continue

i read somewhere earlier that goldman is saying they wm still has something like $17 to $23 billion in losses embedded in their current book of which thus far only $3B has been charged off....so you could be right about it being 'priced in'

my pov is the while current losses may be priced in, the losses are a moving target and i think we are in the early stages of defaults (not just mortgage, auto loans, credit cards, student loans...commercial real estate)
