Re: Banks in the West
Answer would remain the same. It's a multinational company (Canada, UK, and a couple of other countries in Europe). They recently bought Northfork in NY/NJ market. I doubt if they'll go bankrupt any time soon.
May be Capitol One bank is not going to go bankrupt. One has to know about how much a bank has oversold itself in mortgage business and how much does it possess in non-mortgage assets to avoid bankruptcy.
