This credit card company is over its limit....

CC defaults still continue to rise, reserves will have to increase substantially given foreclosures / bankruptcies have not yet reached their peak. Don't expect anymore positive surprises in the coming few quarters. This one has a big leg down coming very soon.

Can anyone venture a guess how much a credit card company recovers from an unsecured loan from a debtor who is in bankruptcy? Yes, you guessed it, zero, zip, zilch, nada, absolutely nothing. If you want to take risks on bank stocks, find one that actually has a larger majority of its loans that have been securitized by hard assets.
