    Hello YankeePride,

    I consider US Bancorp to be very similar to a Wells Fargo. They manage risk well and typically keep a very conservative loan book. I do think that US Bancorp could benefit by acquiring a bank to give them a larger national presence. I don't know too much about Downey Financial. So maybe that is the deal they were looking for.
