I closed my accounts at BAC about a year ago. The branch manager tried to convince me not to do so by saying that they were the largest bank in the US, that the government would not let them fail and that they were correcting their financial problems. There was no point arguing with him, so I took my money and deposited some of it in another local bank with a much better rating according to bankrate.com and some of it in Fidelity.
Any opinions whether SIPC is safer or less safe than FDIC insurance? I am not ready to put my money under my mattress or buried in my backyard, yet.
Someone also mentioned not keeping things in a safe deposit box. If a bank became insolvent, wouldn't depositors be allowed to remove the items from their safe deposit boxes?

Presumably, but "safety" deposit boxes are still not intelligent places to store your valuables.Quote from DrPepper:

Remember that in the Great Depression FDR seized all gold out of safety deposit boxes. All safety deposit boxes had to be opened under the presence of a government official. Any gold contained was immediately seized. Many more reasons not to trust "safety" deposit boxes:

That's the most vile thing I read all week. States provide some valuable services such as the prevention of a collapse of the banking system. But more often then not they're a citizens adversary. What the state of California is doing under their law of unclaimed property is strait up theft and clearly demonstrates why citizens should take some measures to protect themselves from their government.

Sub0, sorry, but you are not watching CNBC in a proper way. have you failed to see Cramer YELLING at full lungs BUY BUY BUY???
Also, look at all the companies that exceeded the very high bar that were the Wall Street earnings estimates? I saw on CNBC, and they said SENSATIONAL earnings.
Please correct yourlself: Dow at 45,000 at the end of the year (including the "Santa Klaus" rally that CNBC invokes to exaustion).
Don't forget that as US shares are priced in dollars the more the dollar weakns the MORE shares foreigners can buy for the same money. DOW 75,000

Man, thanks for correcting my oversight!!!
But wait!!!!! I just heard on CNBC a guy YELLING that the unemployed rate just was diminished by 0.1% and it is now only 9.7%!!!!!!
DOW 85,000 !!!!
Boy, if that ain't a good way of putting it.

The "patient" (US economy) is becoming addicted to the doctor's painkillers (the wall of liquidity that the FED is providing). When the patient gets out of the medicine there will be a lot of pain.... the longer it takes (to stop giving painkillers to the patient) the worse it is going to be the "withdraw syndrome"
Sure. Under supervision of the IRS. And then you're gonna have to prove to them where you got it and whether you paid taxes on it. Poof! Mattress is looking pretty good now.
