    Financials in Turmoil? Someone Forgot to Tell These Eleven Pennsylvania Banks [view article]
    Of course there are banks with even rising stock prices, just like there are banks that are severly hurt in their stock values but will survive anyway.
    All you need in a bank is one or more senior bankers that say "We do not participate in weird stuff".

    And then the weird title of this article: Someone 'forgot' to tell it to these banks... After my humble opinion these banks did see what was coming far better compared to those big Wall Street banks.

    Lets leave it with that.

    This all does not take away that the entire US financial sector could easily see another decline of 50% in combined market cap.

    And when you combine total wiped out market cap from the 11 worst performing banks to these 11 best performing banks, the picture is clear: Well deserved market cap destruction wins it from the smart long time bankers...     Reply

    As with any sector there are shining stars. I've personally been buying select CA community banks that have ZERO exposure to crazy financing. Reply

    the thing that conerns me the most is the 'run on the bank' gets triggered specially for those that hold more than 100,000 dollars on deposits, kind of like IndyMac who was well capitalized and had the Fed discount window open before this happened. Reply

    Regional Banks: Sensible Choice For Shifting Financial Landscape [view article]
    There is no reason why bank-"survivors&q... should be good investments long term.

    IMO banks are facing an ugly future...cheaper ways to reach customers,less branches,higher competition,lower margins as% of deposits,costly layoffs,stagnant or reduced dividends...not necessarily related to current troubles.
    Ask newspaper execs for details...

    For some reasons many investors believe the credit crunch is the ONLY reason why bank stocks got crushed.
    According to my calendar it's 2008,NOT 1990.

    The stocks have been researched and a longer term, speculative viewpoint was established. One can find dividends much higher than the stocks listed, but the risk/reward is suspect at best. Astute investors know the difference. Reply

    Not one of the dividends meet inflation for the last quarter which was 5.2%, I think. That means you are losing money unless the price of the stock advances. Reply

    This author has obviously not researched any of these stocks in depth. The entirety of the research can be summed up in the sentence "shed a nice dividend that appears supported, trade at a decent volume per day and have a successful niche market, excellent management, or both, indicating hope for future prosperity."

    Follow his advice at your own peril.     Reply

    How do you distinguish between regionals that don't own FNM, FRE and the related paper and those that do? From my research a lot of them have this nasty anchor around their necks that they haven't marked to market yet... Reply

    "but since these assets will be held to maturity, ACAS will get their money back."

    Wow. Unless they don't.

    Just fluff - no analysis, something a 5th grader would provide for a school report. Reply

    CDO or any structured finance vehicle i.e. ABS-MBS price, is dictated by supply and demand, right now there is a glut in the market or oversupply of them due to uncertainty of how much toxic waste they contain, once those uncertainties clear up and the housing market recovers no doubt that the 0.22cents of a dollar will be 1.22 cents of a dollar.

    When MER sold some of its CBOs at 22 cents per dollar, with 75% financed by MER, one commentator, over CNBC, said that the effective rate is actually 5.5 cents on the dollar -- I share this view. Reply

    So, forgetting the boring acronyms for a second, is it safe to short most of the companies you mention? Is that what you're saying? Reply
