Default Re: Are Any Non Mega Banks Safe Enough To Ignore 100K FDIC Limit?

I appreciate the advice but the posters here do not understand the degree of my laziness. Let's simplify the question.

Which of the following places would have a greater than a .05% chance of not giving me back all of my money plus interest in five years if I were to put a million bucks in there.

Bank of America

Citibank

Nevada State Bank

Washington Mutual

Charles Schwab tax free sweep funds.

I guess to be more precise I should say a .05% chance over and above the chance that Treasury Bonds or an FDIC insured account would.
