The 31 banks subject to stress tests - to see how their positions would hold up if the economy hypothetically tanked - all passed, good news for them, and especially for Citi, which failed the last one, and vowed not to do so again.  More here, featuring a picture of former law professor/current Fed board member Dan Tarullo, who supervised the test.  And if you're thinking of investing in banks, the Times has a chart of the percentage of money-like assets in the banks' total assets mix.  If you are risk averse, you want to invest in Deutsche Bank or Discover.  But I think leverage is the most powerful force in the world, so hello, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley!
