If banks are in trouble, it's because they allowed themselves to get there. I do not loan money to someone who may not be able to pay it back.

Most banks that are in trouble made bad loans or invested in derivatives. Many banks loaned money, especially mortgages, to those who could not repay. Think no money down home loans to housekeepers intending to house flip. When the foreclosure rate went up, they began to hemorrhage money. Derivatives are investments in risky loans.
