- Friday, May 31, 7:50 PM Look for any piece of news that smacks of an improving economy to send stocks falling next week, warns CNBC's Jim Cramer. Why? Big money investors will interpret any positive economic signs as a signal that the Fed is about to pull back economic stimulus rather than risk runaway inflation. Still, he says, there may be opportunities in the pullback, particularly in the bank, tech and industrial spaces. Just says away from anything with a higher yield, like utilities and MLP's. 37 Comments [U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, May 8, 10:43 AM KeyCorp's (KEY) big move (up 22% YTD vs. 14% for KBE) is unjustified, according to KBW's Chris Mutascio, who's had a Sell on the stock for most of the run. Four other large regionals - WFC, USB, BBT, FITB - are better bargains as they sport lower P/E multiples despite higher ROAs and (for 3 of the 4) far larger ROEs. 3 Comments [Financials]
- Tuesday, February 26, 3:57 PM PowerShares has shuttered 13 ETFs, representing less than 1% of the issuer's AUM, as of today's close. Affected funds follow (with competing funds in parentheses): PIC (KIE, IAK, KBWP, KBWI), PYH, PJB (IAT, KBE, KRE, RKH, QABA, KRU, KRS, KBWR), PSTL (SLX), PLK, PWND (FAN), PMA, PKOL (KOL), PKN (NLR, NUCL, URA), PTO, PAO, PCA and CVRT.

- Friday, July 13, 2012, 2:32 PM JPMorgan (JPM +5.4%) CIO Risk Manager Irvin Goldman has resigned in response to major trading losses and a criminal investigation. Bank stocks continue to shoot higher (XLF +2.4%), as the Street gives a thumbs-up to JPMorgan and Wells Fargo's (WFC +3.1%) Q2 reports (I, II). (more on JPM) 9 Comments [Financials, On the Move, Breaking News]
- Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 4:24 PM There's no point to "living wills" for banks, says Dick Bove. The wills, which are supposed to provide a blueprint for FDIC regulators to deal with banks when they go belly up, simply interfere with a process that has been in place for decades. “I don’t see what the purpose is of coming up with a new statement," Bove quips, "because we’re still going to do it the way it was done 50 years ago.” 8 Comments [Financials, U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, June 21, 2012, 1:02 PM ETFChannel notes an impressive 24% of the holdings on a weighted basis in the S&P Bank SPDR (KBE) have had insider buying over the past 6 months. Leading the way are TCF Financial (TCB), the ETFs 2nd largest holding, and Huntington Bancshares (HBAN), also of similar significance to the ETF. Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, June 18, 2012, 3:24 AM Fed up with new regulations and weak loan demand, a growing number of small community banks are looking to sell themselves to larger rivals. More than 90 bank mergers have already been announced this year. 4 Comments [Financials]
- Friday, June 8, 2012, 4:54 AM The 19 largest U.S. banks are at least $50B short of meeting Basel III requirements. Smaller U.S. banks are around $10B short of the requirements, the Fed said yesterday. 1 Comment [Financials]
- Monday, May 14, 2012, 4:26 AM Wall Street banks should be forced to give up their trading operations, says the FDIC's Thomas Hoenig, with broker-dealer activities cleaved off from banks. Hoenig says TBTF firms have "little capacity to manage [their companies] systematically over time" and regulators are ill-equipped to supervise them. (see also: prop trading, regulatory fail) 1 Comment [Financials]
- Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 1:45 PM Not only is Keefe, Bruyette & Woods forecasting that the banking industry is set to see more banks jump into the M&A market as buyers as opposed to sellers, analysts with the firm are also naming names. Banks looking to catch a premium bid: ALNC, FDEF, OABC, TCBI, HTBK, and CFNL. Comment! [Financials, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, March 12, 2012, 4:24 PM Keefe, Bruyette & Woods sees more banks entering the market as buyers than sellers in 2012, in a good sign for banks looking to find an acquirer willing to pay a premium price. Analysts with Keefe say that after a little over two months into the year, the pace of +$50M deals is more than double than that of last year. Comment! [Financials]
- Wednesday, February 22, 2012, 8:34 AM The CFPB's Richard Cordray says that the agency is launching an inquiry into the policies of banks on checking account overdrafts. At issue: Do banks withdraw larger checks before smaller checks in order to run up fees? At risk: An estimated $38B in annual overdraft fees. 1 Comment [Financials, U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 1:42 AM Global regulators' Libor probe has exposed flaws in banks' internal controls that may have allowed traders to manipulate interest rates around the world, sources say, along with email evidence of potential Libor collusion between firms. Banks may face civil fines as a result, though probably not this year. There has been no move toward criminal charges. 1 Comment [Financials]
- Friday, February 3, 2012, 1:57 AM Banks have been steadily releasing reserves against bad loans, which has boosted their earnings reports. But with loan-loss cushions now heading back to pre-crisis levels, some analysts believe banks will have to slow reserve releases, adding pressure to profits already hit by slower growth and tighter rules. 2 Comments [Earnings, Financials]
- Wednesday, February 1, 2012, 4:48 AM President Obama is expected to detail today a program to let millions of homeowners refinance their mortgages with lower-interest federally insured loans. Borrowers would qualify even if they were in negative equity, although Obama is likely to face opposition over plans to levy a bank tax to pay for the proposal. 2 Comments [Financials, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, January 30, 2012, 2:59 PM Domestic banks experienced somewhat stronger loan demand over the past three months, according to the Fed in its January 2012 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices. Commercial and industrial loan demand was solid from firms of all sizes, however demand from small firms rose to its highest level since 2005. Comment! [Financials, U.S. Economy]
