If more large banks fail the FDIC will be out of funds to replenish accounts and it will be wait-in-line time. The dollars you finally get might not be worth much after running printing presses 24 hrs/day for months.

Exactly. We were going to transfer some TMM funds out to some CD's, but I'm hesitant now. If the FDIC runs short of funds (I believe it has $35 billion?), banks may not redeem the CD's on time.
