Recently during a coaching session, someone asked me about bank ratings. The couple were surprised when I advised that each of the banks in the news were rated investment grade before being rescued by the FDIC.

There are banks in other developed countries that are rated higher than U.S. banks.
May, June and July are going to be challenging months. We'll need to raise the Debt Ceiling in May, the bank stress tests will be released by the end of June, and on July 27th, the 2nd quarter GDP will be released. It is predicted to be negative.
