Stock Market Thread

[Ryan T]

I know we lost all summer, but I refer to this as a financial thread. My question to you business/finance people; do you keep all your money at the same banking institution, or spread it out? Currently I have a checking account with 2 banks (only one of which I use) and savings/investment accounts with 4 different banks (2 of which are credit unions). My wife also has a separate checking account at a different bank. Should I combine all these accounts and investments into one banking institution or is it smart to keep it spread out? I'm seeing mostly equal amounts of growth from all of them.
