Faber: Look for HCA IPO to top $4B

CNBC's David Faber says hospital chain HCA will settle on the underwriters for its upcoming initial public offering in the next few weeks and then bring its shares to market in July. Faber said the offering could reach $4.5 billion, 50 percent more than earlier reports suggested. (Hmm, that brings to mind the company's bond sale spree a year ago.) Separately, HCA also disclosed that it tweaked the terms of one of its credit lines earlier this week, extending the due date of $2 billion of loans from late 2013 to the spring of 2017.

Corker praises return to 'healthy system'

Bob Corker likes Standard & Poor's newly negative outlook on Bank of America and Citigroup, which is based on analysts' doubt that the government will provide more support should the banks hit more trouble.

This mentality is far better than investors assuming that Congress will be there as a backstop if they experience trouble, and it’s also better than Congress making arbitrary decisions regarding the size and scope of financial institutions. Obviously we wish no harm to these companies or their employees, but this is how a healthy system must work.
