| 664758 | 2008-05-01 20:16:00 | Here's the next failure: " Rancho Cucamonga-based PFF Bancorp announced Wednesday evening it expects to post a loss of $159 million for the first quarter ending March 31, and has secured a $44 million loan from an unspecified bank to meet its regulatory obligations. The recently struggling parent of PFF Bank & Trust released a statement more than 12 hours after trading of its stock was halted on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday morning. (That's yesteray here) PFF, the second-largest bank with Inland headquarters, has $4.3 billion in assets and 38 Southern California offices. Trading of the banking company's stock, under the ticker symbol PFB, was halted at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time Wednesday and did not resume before the closing bell. " :xmouth: :horrified |

| 664760 | 2008-05-03 18:03:00 | Wait, why are you surprised? Not so much SURPRISED as I am somewhat amazed at the failure(s) starting now just before a presidential race . Most on-situ presidents, when told of a pending bank failure or even a bank shudder, will twist thumbs and find "ways" to make it not happen on their watch . Degrading ocean fauna are somewhere on North-Western European peninsulas, methinks . |
