A bank losing money in these kind of conditions? Dumb, dumb, and dumber.

John, This one has me bamboozled. The eps were just awful. I think a lot of folks think they threw in the kitchen sink to get it out of the co. I don't think they even know how much risk they've got.

If this report was "better than expected," what were they expecting, Iraq calling it the 19th province. -g-

I plan to buy puts on this one after I think it has gotten over the craziness of whatever is happening today.
