W Holding Company Worth a Look [view article]
Why hasn't the takeover interest in this bank materialized?Whether the interest is from institutions in the Mideast or Europe, it is overdue in materializing.
The bank's damaged assets are particularly attractive if re-priced in Euros.
Think AXA. Ignore UBS.

Doral should indeed be considered speculative - it's in dire financial straits, and is hoping to be rescued by a lowball buyout offer.Banco Popular is well-established, with a firm foothold in Puerto Rico. They are trying to expand to serve the Hispanic community in the mainland US, and I'm a lot less sanguine about their prospects here. Their US arm has significantly underperformed, and will face tough competition and higher costs (most Hispanics live in large cities = higher rents for BPNA branches). I wish I hadn't bought shares. Fortunately, I didn't buy many. Reply

Actually the chance to buy banks when everyone thinks the end of the financial system is nigh occurs about every 6-7 years. I keep my Moody's Handbook of Dividend Achievers handy for bathroom reading and often look at the stock charts of banks over the last 20 years. You would be surprised how often you can buy financial services companies and have them double in two years. It happens over and over, even with the same large well know companies. You would hardly have gone wrong if you simply bought financial stocks every time they come close to book value. You would probably be better off if you learned nothing about the companies since the financial news would probably have scared you off. The fact of the matter is that most survive and prosper in just a few years.Banks and insurance companie are worth more than book value for the simple reason that they can generate leverage on safe bond/loan investments. In other words it makes no sense for anyone young to buy bonds. Just buy AIG and let them buy bonds for you with leverage. In the long run they will grow at about 12-15% and never run into the problem of getting too big. Reply

I definately agree. Back in the early 90's the NYC banks were struggling with diving commercial real estate prices and real estate loans going bad and interest rates much higher than they are now. Just like WHI has insider buying, a long track record, a good market position, and a decent yield, Chase Manhattan had insider buying, a long track record, a good market positon and a decent yield. Chase was selling at $10 per share, way way down from its peak, and it became one of the single greatest investments I ever made. WHI has all of these characteristiics. WHI just reaffirmed the dividend for 2007, so I would suggest that along with the insider buying this is a sign that management and the board still see a bright future. These type of opportunities are just very few and far between for the patient investor. Reply
