Ernie banks

The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.

Many of our banks have lent money to Brazil, and some of those loans may not look so good today after the devaluation as they did before. so banks will be hurt, or some banks will be hurt and the stockholders in those banks will be hurt.

Banks have a new image. Now you have 'a friend,' your friendly banker. If the banks are so friendly, how come they chain down the pens?

Someone must sell at the nadir of the cycle, and it might as well be the government. However, government agencies responsible for resolving the financial crisis are not forcing banks to act, with the result that banks are mainly reserving against bad loans and not disposing of the underlying collateral.

I love this guy, Dick.
