This is a pretty scary chart...

Scary isn't half of it! I didn't have this chart when I thought about moving some of our funds to other banks so if one goes under, we wouldn't have major problems. I realize most banks are FDIC insured, but if a bank closes, I understand it can be days to weeks until it opens up again. Not handy if you have bills to pay.
