I had not considered 1980's recession and Banks reaction to the situation back then.
Do you think cdr belongs in the same group as cnp,abs,afg?
He implies that the banks are not facing up to reality, that some how the market will be so much healthier, without these companies weighing down the banks,that the banks are hiding these dirty little secrets.

'On a bright note, Commander's revenue for the last half was $458 million and that's a nice whack to have when you are trying to stem losses and turn around a business.

Talk about a back handed compliment.
