FYI, bankrate.com gave 1st National Bank of Nevada a rating of 1 star
and CAEL rating 5, its lowest rating. Good call!

But it gave First Heritage Bank NA a rating of 3 stars and CAEL rating
3, the same rating for Bank of America (NA, Calif).

Both banks were taken over by the FDIC on Friday. I looked at
bankrate.com over the weekend. I don't know if they scrambled to
adjust their rating of 1st National B of N; but if they did, they
neglected to adjust their rating of First Heritage.

HH, is that a rhetorical question? I agree with you that there is a
lot of uncertainties out there regarding banks. The best answer would
be to hedge your risk by putting your money in FDIC insured
institutions and never more than $100,000 in the same bank.

Default GMAC (and other banks) strength-

We have a MMA through GMAC. The continuing banking woes lead me to
ask, 'is GMAC a strong bank to continue doing business with?' I
realize regular accounts of federally insured up to 100K, but I
certainly want to avoid drama is possible.

How can consumers trust the stength of their bank after this mess has
shown that banks were keeping assets and liabilities off of the
books? This certainly seems like it has been major mess and it still
hasn't fully played out.

Regards,
HH
