Banks stocks have seemed to trend up lately even though the evidence to their solvency is very skeptical. But the banks seem to be very relaxed and assured knowing they have the treasury and Obama in the palm of their hand.
The market is controlled by the large financial institutions so it is no surprise to see bank stocks higher. The large funds control 70% of the trades in the stock market according to what I read in Econned. The more the banks are allowed to get away with their schemes I wouldn't be surprised to see bank stocks higher. It think people are starting to realize that the banks have control of the country. There will be little done to take away their power. It is clear that the banks have committed numerous illegal acts but they have suffered no repercussions. Actually their egregious behavior had been rewarded with huge bonuses and free capital.
