    I've owned 6,000 shares of BAC for many years. By buying Countrywide, Ken Lewis has risked the credibility of what , in my opinion was the best bank. If he is able to make this buy a success and not cut the dividend, I will apologize, but if the dividend is cut, that s.o.b. should get thrown out on his ass, without a parachute! Reply

    I have had a large investment in BAC for many years and recently bought more. I re invest all my dividends and the compounding is considerable. I figure if BAC goes to Hell then the whole country is doomed. I am in for life. Reply

    It may be worth noting that during this past year that both USB and BBT have increased yields not only via share price drop but also because of increasing their distribution level. USB raised its quarterly dividend from 40 cents to 42.5 cents per share for its January payment. BBT just announced a dividend increase from 46 cents to 47 cents per quarter, with its August first payment. For USB, the dividend represents a POR of 68.6% vs. Q1 earnings of 62 cents. For BBT the dividend represents a POR of 64% vs. Q1 earnings. IMO it is premature to say whether the earnings have stablilized yet for either of these banks, but there is a nice margin of safety supporting the current dividend levels. Further these companies, IMO, would not be raising distribution levels if they anticipated any likelihood of a dividend cut in the next year.

    Note: I own shares of USB, BBT, and IAT, consider each to represent value at current prices and am accumulating in small incremental purchases.

    National City 20%? Why waste my time looking at his data if it is not correct? Good Lord, if he wants credibility, he needs to do some timely research into his facts. FITB just reduced their dividend for next Q. Lot of inaccuracy on this chart. Reply

    Then there's inflation at an admitted 4% but really double that and soon to be triple. My $ are in very small new firms having global footprints about to be profitable or there,and huge growth in their headlights. Talking resources, silver, molly, copper, oil, gas, gold, water, technology. They are all beaten down to wonderful levels. I figure sooner or later, folks will bale the big stocks and look for places with large earnings growth track records and potential even if they are less than $5 stocks now. Dividends in hyper inflation mean nothing unless it is a stock dividend in a fast growing firm that is under valued. I'd give examples but then some would suggest I'm hyping a poor stock I trying to unload. It is OTC time! Reply

    Even after the war is over (2010-2011) their earning power will be greatly reduced, and after some unpredictable knee jerk up action they probably will stagnate for a long time under reform rules or practice. This is dead and dying $. Reply

    Don't you think it prudent to wait until the shooting stops before you start picking up causalities? Reply

    Leery about Lehman - Fast Money Recap (6/3/08) [view article]
    Although I tried to read Speaking Alpha daily, I must admit that this is the first time I came across this post (Fast Money recap). I tried to view Fast Money daily - but the last segment (Final trade) is usually mumbled and not repeated. So, this post serves a very useful purpose, particularly for those slow-pokes like me.
    Before typing this comment, I re-read the title of this post. I think I know one reason why it had not attracted my attention earlier -- the heading is not attractive enough. In my view, it should read: Fast Money Recap - 6/3/08: Leery on Lehman.

    Im also bullish on CHK. Aubrey reportedly bought another 400,000 shares of his own company between May 30th and June 2nd. Im not willing to bet against him, he has great determination! Wonder what the next news will bring? Have a Happy Day. Reply
