I wish you would have saved the initial story.

Anon: I can see the story (now as Update 3). Buried at the bottom is a note that:
"The decline may force banks to increase loan-loss provisions and write down the value of commercial property loans, which Citigroup, Bank of America and JPMorgan are all carrying at 100 percent of face value, according to estimates in a March 24 report by Richard Ramsden, an analyst at New York- based Goldman Sachs Group Inc." Good thing they suspended mark-to-market last week!
