Charting The Banking Crisis

And Still I Persist in Charting The Banking Crisis takes the really interesting gapminder.org graphing technique and applies it to the current banking process. Two charts show Bank Portfolios of 8 large banks by quarter from 2002-2007. One shows 90+ Days Late and the other Total Charged Off Mortgages. Interesting stuff.

"The banks are under a growing amount of stress, but unless you are a hard core accountant or analyst, it can be tough to wade through the public data to figure it out. Tools like the trend animator provide a means to convey complex data sets in a manner that lets anyone recognize what is happening."
