Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:07:23 +0000 http://stupidityfordummies.com/?p=28#comment-5 Jack, thanks for the correction. I was making revisions when I wrote it and missed that. I just came back from waiting in line at IndyMac for almost 4 hours and I'm happy to report that my analysis of FDIC insurance is correct. There're extra steps and time involved to get your money back when you have beneficiaries (the acct owner(s) have to sign an affidavit stating that the beneficiaries *are* in fact qualified) but at least the money is insured. Good luck with your mom's account! Jack, thanks for the correction. I was making revisions when I wrote it and missed that.

Forgot to say thanks for the post. My mom had over $100k in IndyMac. I researched her situation and your analysis is the same as mine. We're either both stupid or pretty close to being right. Oops.
