美国银行业依然值得信任

????日期：2011年8月23日

????道琼斯指数：上涨322点，涨幅3.3%

????2011年，投资者对三伏天的酷热或许没有太多印象，原因在于难以预料的全球经济危机让许多人不得不取消出行计划，整日在办公室里忙碌，以便随时应对危机。8月底，联邦存款保险公司（FDIC）发布报告称，美国银行业的健康状况正在逐步改善，之后股市开始反弹。美国问题银行数量首次下降，从888家减少到了865家。动荡不安的8月临近尾声，这一结果使投资者开始对市场抱持审慎乐观的态度。

Banks aren't doing so badly after all

????Date: August 23, 2011

????Dow: up 322, or 3.3%

????The market never saw the dog days of summer in 2011, and plenty of Hamptons getaways were cancelled due to unforeseen global economic crises. Stocks bounced back in late August following an FDIC report saying the health of the nation's banks is actually improving. For the first time in nearly five years, the number of failing banks declined, moving from 888 "problem" institutions to 865. The results allowed for cautious optimism at the end of a shaky trading month.
