I sure have to say investing in banking stocks forget it. I have never regarded banks' insurance companies' financial services companies as real busineses. All they do is recycle money.

Just look at their record almost 2 out of every 3 savings and loans went out of business in the 1980's and just think about what happened a couple of years ago. Do I need to say anymore. Oh one other thing most If not all of the publicly traded subprime lenders are out of business today.
