"More banks will come on the list as credit problems worsen," FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said;

"The results were pretty dismal, and we don't see a return to the high earnings levels of previous years any time soon,";

"I do worry that some of the investors have taken short positions on the ABX," an index based on subprime-mortgage-backed securities, Ms. Bair said in an interview.

'Ms. Bair' is married to Scott Cooper. Feeling any better?
