1. Do we need to say more about the housing market? It is in a shambles and not looking like it will be picking up anytime soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2.Bank’s profitability is in serious question. There is so much that can be made at the current yield curve.<\/p>\n

3. Standards for both Commercial and Industrial (as well as residential) have dropped of late. Of course we keep hearing that no on is able to gt a loan, but it appears that it is more of a lack of demand than a lack of the bank’s desire to lend….

Banks will need to compete and that will be a disaster.<\/p>\n
