They know the banks are under capitalized. That is why they suspended mark to market. The govt doesn't want to crank up the printing presses just yet to recapitalize because that would send things into a tailspin. http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/693/blog_posts/3585-did-the-fdic-just-flash-freeze-the-distressed-commercial-markets#c_3564 http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/693/blog_posts/3585-did-the-fdic-just-flash-freeze-the-distressed-commercial-markets#c_3564 Hi, does that mean the vultures will stop circling? They must land somewhere, maybe future deals will be in under valued bank stocks. It's a great time to buy a bank! Just wait and see. Just to say that collateral values are in the basement does not mean that loans are non-performing. Just two cents worth! Bill
