Everything, ouch.

Uh oh...Citigroup said today in a press release they have "ample capital". I think we all know what that means by now. Are they next?

It's bad out there, really, really bad and I suspect its going to get WAY worse really fast. Get your fallout shelters stocked up you might need them before the month is out.

WaMU counter-party credit rating just cut to junk by S&P. That means they can't borrow money from other banks. They have 'adequate capital' S&P says. Oh boy...
