I'd vote with my money if I see they are getting into deep crap like other banks already in. I hope they are not insane about it but I detect feeling they are just greedy.

Where would you take your money? Choices are not as varied as it used to be in the past - all banks are merging, it looks like we may end up with as it was generations ago, with one or two banks monopolizing the market - (actually in N.Ireland the situation is like that, a few big banks are monopolizing the market)

yep - we'll end up with one or two financial giants in the market and we'd have not much of a choice....
