Banks With Commercial Exposure



The above table lists banks with $20 billion or more of earning assets and commercial loan ratios of at least 20%. In addition, I have included the amount of junior lien residential loans that these banks are exposed to. This is because this is a particularly weak class: if defaults keep chugging along, how much can these loans possibly be worth (regardless of credit score)?

I went back to the list of banks that held large amounts of goodwill on their balance sheet (post of 2/27/09) and discovered that the following banks appear on both lists:
