The FDIC's seizure of Washington Mutual Inc. marks the 13th bank failure so far this year, including IndyMac, which filed for Chapter 7. The FDIC swooped in and sold off the assets of the rest of the failed banks on this list.

The FDIC revealed that at the end of June there were 117 banks on the agency's watch list, up from 90 at the end of March. While the FDIC doesn't make that list public, others have attempted to make their best guess as to who is on the list. The most notable list comes from Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. analyst Richard X. Bove, who in July singled out a bunch in his report "Who is next?".

We have compiled this list to keep track of how the largest banks and thrift banks are doing based on his analysis, but not all of them are at risk to fail. - Maria Woehr

Comments

From: EJ,

This story isn't true. The Deal did not read or understand the Bove report. The Bove report sets out 2 tests, reviews many banks and says which banks meet the 2 criteria and which don't. It's as much a "which banks are good" list as it is "which banks are bad." Its extremely misleading to run this as a "next to fail" list. You really ought to issue a retraction.
