It's Bank Failure Friday!!!!

And here they are, ordered, and numbered for the year so far.

140. K Bank, Randallstown, MD
     
141. Western Commercial Bank, Woodland Hills, CA
     
142. Pierce Commercial Bank, Tacoma, WA
     
143. First Vietnamese American Bank, Westminster, CA
     

A ordinary run, so far we have averaged 3¼ bank failures a week, though K Bank is very local. My chiropractor is in Randallstown.

Also, I neglected to mention that 2010 passed 2009's total of 134 on 22 October.

Full FDIC list

I would note that are now at the point where the utility of the least squares trendline is diminishing, but I'm keeping it here for historical purposes.
