Source: http://www.moneyandmarkets.com/Issues.aspx?NewsletterEntryId=2071Posted on Monday, August 11th, 2008 | In Current Market News, Market Commentary
Would you like to see the FDIC’s list of the most endangered banks and S&Ls in America? Unfortunately, you can’t. It’s strictly confidential and one of the best-kept secrets in Washington.
So how can you know if the people who hold your savings are worthy of your trust? And what about your investments and retirement account at your broker?
 |
This week, to give you the answers, Mike and I used Internet TV to unveil The “X” List — our own list of U.S. banks and thrifts that we believe are the most vulnerable to failure. Plus, we revealed our list of the nation’s brokers with the strongest and weakest capital.
It’s too bad you missed it. But fortunately, our entire one-hour video, including The “X” List, is online right now, available for your immediate viewing. Just turn up your computer speakers, and click here.
Or, if you cannot view video on your computer, you can also dial 1-800-925-6179 (overseas: +1-402-220-0246), and you will immediately start hearing the sound track of the entire one-hour program from start to finish.
This is purely a free service for readers — my gift to you to help you get through this banking and brokerage crisis. There’s nothing to buy — just a full hour packed with the answers you need to protect your money.
Good luck and God bless!
