Yeah, our government has basically agreed to bail out anyone and everyone if they get in trouble. The Chinese are becoming more capitalistic, and we're getting more socialistic.

China took a bunch of banks public last year. We're nationalizing our banks and brokerages.

The bizarro world at work.

Credit crisis to extend into 2009

"Current Prior Current Prior
Bank of America $0.72 $0.91 $2.50 $3 Perform
Citigroup $0.21 $0.20 -$0.58 -$0.45 Underperform
JPMorgan Chase $0.41 $0.72 $1.95 $2.85 Perform
Wachovia $0.63 $0.62 $1.55 $1.70"

I wonder why the market is giving C such a large premium compared to the others.
