A Crashing Consumer and Failing Banks

This week we post two reports.

The Great Consumer Crash of 2009 by James Quinn (as posted on seekingalpha.com) talks about housing, debt, confidence, spending, etc.

Dead Men Walking by Bennet Sedacca (via John Mauldin) talks about what banks are most capable of surviving, the ones which are either "too big to fail" or have valuable assets should the companies be broken up, and which one are "dead men walking," or doomed to failure.
