IndyMac will cover 50% of uninsured deposits as IndyMac Federal Bank.

The government is stepping in to support IndyMac. Having just changed its name from IndyMac Bancorp after it was seized Friday. The FDIC has assumed control saying it will cover 50% of uninsured deposits and fully insure all up to $100,000, which is normal.

John Bovenzi, the FDIC COO says there’s probably no bank in the country that has access to greater capital and liquidity than Indymac Federal Bank. He also states the FDIC expects to sell it in the next 90 days.

Because Charles Schumer has loose lips, IndyMac Bancorp became the second biggest federally insured financial company to be taken over by regulators.

Now that IndyMac is the first of many banks to fail, I think we’re going to see a lot more banks, not only close for the weekend, but close for good and go bankrupt. Rumors talk about 90+ banks, I think that’s a little exaggerated, but very well possible. I would guesstimate around 30+ banks will close shop.

I’m an investor in the stock market and have started to build a position in Bank of America. One of the few 500 lb. gorillas left in the room. Every dip, I pick up more shares. I don’t think there going anywhere, but you never know. Investments are all risky.

I never thought I would see this happen here in the USA, but here we are….let’s all cross our fingers.
