They look at the outlook for Barclays (LSE: BARC) following the LIBOR debacle and Lloyds Banking Group's (LSE: LLOY) future after the enforced sale of 600 branches to the Co-operative Bank. They also discuss whether HSBC (LSE: HSBA) can recover from its money-laundering scandal in Mexico. Ralph also tips three banks that he thinks could emerge stronger from the financial crisis.

About the presenter

David Kuo is The Motley Fool’s media personality. He can be heard on BBC London’s (94.9FM) Breakfast Show where he arouses listeners every weekday morning with his unique brand of financial news. He is also a regular commentator on national news programmes including CNBC, BBC News, and Sky News.

David stumbled into the world of broadcasting at the turn of the Millennium when he was invited to comment on the stock market crash. He says, “I think I stunned Londoners speechless when I said the good thing about the crash is that shares are now more affordable for people who want to invest in the stock market!”

His attitude to investing has never wavered, as he always sees downturns in the market as a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
