How much bank stock could you buy with that amount of money? Could you buy 50% of the US ten largest banks? A 10% share of all US banks?

A related question: how do you decide what to buy first? Do you buy the banks in the worst postion, hoping that the federal intervention will help them the most? Do you buy stock in the healthiest banks, playing a sort of banking triage?
