(1) Charles Schwab 2010 PTI excludes Money Market Mutual Fund Charge.

As you can see from the above chart, these 39 US Big Financial Corps recorded a Total Pretax Loss of $3.4 bil in the 3Q 2011, which was down an incredible $9.6 bil from the 3Q 2010.

However, if you back away the 5 Huge Partnerships, REIT & Hedge Investment Firms, then this massive $9.6 bil Total Pretax Income Reduction in 3Q 2011 earnings, as compared with that of a year ago, is pared down by a huge $8.6 bil, to $1.0 bil.

These 5 Huge Partnerships, REIT & Hedge Investment Firms had their 3Q 2011 Earnings just crushed by the substantial US Stock Market Decline in the latter part of the 3Q 2011, which itself was driven mainly by US Congressional Republicans breaking off the Grand Bargain Debt Ceiling talks with the Obama Administration, as well as by US Congressional Republicans refusing to work with the Obama Administration in its clearly US job-creating American Jobs Act.
