PNC: Bull or Bear?

World Series trade #4: PNC Financial Services (PNC) Graphic_rating_buy PNC
+16.02%
in 24 days

Filed under: Options, Stocks to Buy

World Series Trade #4 - PNC Financial Services (PNC)The Pittsburgh Pirates may not be putting much on the field these days, but Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services Inc. (NYSE: PNC) has jockeyed itself into a lead position in the financial recovery.

Since hitting its lows in March, at just below $20, PNC is up around 150% at its current price of near $50. I think that the stock will continue to lead the financials higher as its strong balance sheet and diversified revenue fuel a considerable rally.

6 World Series tradesBaseball fans worldwide continue to warm themselves around the glow of the television to watch the Phillies and Yankees battle it out in the World Series.

Well, sports fans, I know you're psyched, but I have something just as exciting for you: six home run trades.

Peter Lynch had his "take a walk down Main Street" style of investing, so let's call this the "take me out to the ball game" approach to trading. I'm going to give you six trades that I think will knock it out of the park.

The Street.com's Jim Cramer says that history should resonate here, if you don't want to repeat its mistakes.

We've heard lots of talk about how the banks have run, how they are too expensive and how they have to give back those spectacular returns. I have seen the argument on this site that things are rapidly deteriorating and...

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says its acquisition of Harleysville could make it a great regional player in the East.

When we look back at the coming great banking consolidation making a host of new colossuses, we will think about First Niagara's (NASDAQ: FNFG) (Cramer's Take) acquisition of Harleysville National (NASDAQ: HNBC) (Cramer's Take) announced on a sleepy Monday near the end of July 2009.

Not willing to subscribe to the common 2008 theory that just because a bank is acquiring other banks, it's somehow able to shirk the financial industry problems-- or that a big bank is safer. Things not to like: They opened 20 new branches in 2007-- not a sign that mgt forsaw any of the obvious warning signs. Heavy in acquisitions: this has proved folly for banks, ESPECIALLY banks that made acquisitions before 2008 when they were expensive.

Albertis $12.8B Bid to Lease PA Turnpike Expires with No Deal

<> Spanish infrastructure company Albertis and NY-based Citi Infrastructure have withdrawn their $12.8B bid to lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike for 75 years after state legislators failed to vote on the proposal before an early end to their legislative session to focus on the upcoming election. Earlier in September, the Federal Highway Administration rejected a PA proposal to make I-80 a toll road, resulting in a $450M shortfall in the state's transportation budget when coupled with the failed bid to lease the turnpi...

The Shakeout in Regional Banks

<>
The accompanying table presents the 25 lowest-rated stocks in my US-based Regional Banking Index. The index contains a total of 99 companies with market caps between $500 million to $20 billion which are classified as either regional banks or savings and loan companies. The ratings for each company are calculated quarterly based on a formula which considers the price-to-book ratio, the trailing 52-week stock price performance, and the percentage of total market caps represented by each company.

Since putting together the index...

To begin with, I would like to remind all that I am a private investor - not an analyst, nor a reporter or media professional.<!----> Hence, expect me to be short anything that I am bearish on and long on anything that I am bullish on.

I like mid-sized financials before Fed's move to cut rate Graphic_rating_buy PNC

in 803 days

I believe that the financials have been beaten down too much amid extreme pessimism that the economy will enter into recession due to severe credit crunch.

With Fed now poised to ease, mid-size banks may be in a sweet spot to benefit from increased NIM and economy that is slowing but not entering into recession.

PE multiple may expand from extremely d epressed level.  I like PNC at this level.
