remains overbought on its daily chart and is trading between my annual pivot at $1218.7 andmy semiannual risky level at $1260.8. Crude oil remains below my annual pivot at $77.05. Theeuro remains below its 50-day simple moving average at 1.2781. The Dow is still oversold on itsdaily chart with todays value level at 9,788.

Here are some statistics from the FDIC for the Second Quarter 2010:

There were 45 bank failures in the second quarter, and we likely ended the quarter with less than

7,900 FDIC-insured financial institutions. 2504 or 31.7% are thus overexposed to Commercial Real Estate loans. 3939 of 49.9% of all banks have a pipeline thats 80% or more funded.

Half the community banks in America remain overleveraged to Commercial Real Estate and thepossible losses remain about $1.5 trillion.

We will publish a new list of the ValuEngine List of Problem Banks next week.

Assets among banks with a CRE pipeline of 80% or more funded increased to $3.84 trillionincluding $121.3 billion in Construction & Development loans.

The average pipeline for 3939 banks is 92.0%. Among this list are four big banks that will likelysee waves of write-offs in upcoming quarters.

JP Morgan Chase (JPM) with $1.72 trillion in assets has a pipeline of 80%. SunTrust Banks (STI) has $160.5 billion in assets with an 83% pipeline. BB&T Corp (BBT) has $149.2 billion in assets with an 84% pipeline. Fifth Third Bank (FITB) has 100.0 billion in assets with an 84% pipeline.

Thats todays Four in Four. Have a great day.
