  • Conference Calls Show Regional Banks Squeezing Homebuilders [View article]
    It looks like BBT has gotten a handle on its riskiest loans by shrinking the home and construction loan portfolio by about $5B. After taking a dive from $43 to $18 the stock has stabilized around $30 - $35. BBT will, in my opinion, be a survivor and come out of this mess a stronger bank.
    Full disclosure: own 1000 BBT shares, happily collecting a nice dividend.

  • Buying Financials Amidst New Institutional Accumulation [View article]
    There is no suicidal action in investing in BBT bank. Solid well capitalized and no sub-prime toxins. 7% looks pretty good for this investor vs 3% on treasuries.

  • Pundit Failure: We Are in a Bear Market and This Is a Recession [View article]
    One of the first lessons I learned in investments not to pay much attention to the recommendations of stockbrokers. In our local office if you want to know how Saturday's football games will turn out, ask the brokers. If you want advice on investments get to know the people with grey hair watching the tape.
