I wonder how many more banks will need to fail before the skeptics believe that this will cause banks to fail. Thus far we lost all five american investment banks, the world's largest insurer, the largest S&L and now Wachovia. We're running out of things to lose.

The question is whats next and who will benefit from the bailout and the consolidation of the banking/investment banking industry?

The primary answer is those that have already substantially marked down assets like Citigroup, UBS, JPMorgan and Bank of America.

Who's in danger? Banks that had toxic portfolios yet had not as aggressively marked down their portfolio. Wachovia is actually one of those plus their exit from the wholesale mortgage business a few months back probably limited their ability to mix in good new mortgages with their crappy ones thereby skewing their quality.
