A rough road still lies ahead for small banks


[mEDITate-OR:
miss out on a very interesting view of local, small AZ banks.

By separate post we pointed out the fascinating graphs put out by CRisk that show U.S. the dramatic increase is bank failures.

What we NEED to remember is that there are a LOT more small banks - community banks - that made local commercial loans..., for shopping malls, condos, office bldgs, and to construction companies and RE developers. All of those loans are now coming due, or in serious financial trouble.


And, Sheila at FDIC is telling U.S. that a LOT more of them are going to be closed, this year.
