I think that's right.
Banks want to claim "$.80"... privateers want to bid $.30. But if banks accept that as value, their balance sheets will be wiped out. What to do... ??
My guess is that C and BAC will just have to try and survive without selling, which should take years. Some of the others appear to be in better shape, although I read a lot about the massive derivative exposure JPM has.
