Exhibit A; Stress test results reported as generally positive (all major news sources). One link: CNN-Money
Exhibit B: Details of a new twist into the stress test results, as reported by the WSJ.
The WSJ reports a new twist about the recently concluded "stress tests" on US banks.

However futures earnings are not estimate here so how they do in the coming years would be an interesting prediction to make.
...Government officials worried San Francisco-based Wells might file a lawsuit contesting the Fed's findings.
Other interesting excerpts:
SunTrust Banks Inc. also persuaded the Fed to significantly reduce the size of its estimated capital gap to $2.2 billion, after identifying mathematical errors in the Fed's earlier calculations, according to a person familiar with the matter.
