I'm waiting for CNBC to come out with the overseas markets. It sure feels like dominoes. Lehman's toppled and now they are all falling.

When I hear about this I feel like anything at this point that any given government does is too little too late. They all seem to be trying the same things i.e., guaranteeing deposits etc. I read on the site Urbansurvival that Sweden's bank that failed had more deposits than the GDP of Sweden. I wonder how many other banks have the same problem ?
