Comments on: FDIC Backs off Slightly – PE Firms to Buy Troubled Banks http://zachstocks.com/2009/08/fdic-backs-off/ Dynamic Investments for Exceptional Traders Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:21:02 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Zachary Scheidt http://zachstocks.com/2009/08/fdic-backs-off/comment-page-1/#comment-7792 Zachary Scheidt Thu, 03 Sep 2009 21:31:56 +0000 http://zachstocks.com/?p=2173#comment-7792 haha - very well said... When an entire industry hits the skids, it's always amazing to see how the powers that be, the prominent investors, and the executives involved simply turned a blind eye. This was true in the lat 90s and it was true in 2008/09 (actually for years leading up to the crisis times). This is human nature and will not change over time. We will likely just shift irresponsible behavior from one sector to another... But hey, that creates opportunity for traders like us right? haha – very well said…

Do you think the FDIC should place a timeline on these investments or should PE firms be able to sell whenever the market is willing to buy?
