FDIC bank closures - and they're off!

The FDIC hit the ground running this year by closing three more banks, bringing the total this year to 14.

The failed banks, so-called community banks, are located in Georgia and Illinois, but have a message that resonates across the country.

Community banks get their money locally, and lend locally.  When they venture into commercial loans, which tend to be larger, they enter dangerous ground because a problem with a commercial loan translates into a large hit on the bank's books.
