The story I read said that several other of the "new commies" were going to get on that committee as well.

Normally I don't get too worked up about who is on which of these committees, but this group is causing me to wonder if I should take profits and sideline my bank stocks for a while, despite the fact that banks are doing well right now. These people would seize all the banks "for the people" tomorrow if they could.

And Waters sends out her warning:

I don't know how much real power this committee ever has, but there is no doubt that they can send the market ping-ponging on emotion whenever they demand a bank CEO "come in for questioning" as it were.
