  • I'm a retired career banker in Ohio where Huntington is headquartered. Huntington taking over a failed bank is the blind leading the blind. I have no doubt Huntington will find a way to screw this up too. Where are the great business practices, financial ratios or track record that warrants this?

  • My expirience with these financial models and their expectations is that they can't capture important attributes of a moving object(what all firms are) . Roll back to 2008 global crisis and see what i mean!
