Heavy in acquisitions: this has proved folly for banks, ESPECIALLY banks that made acquisitions before 2008 when they were expensive. Equity = $14 bn Now let's see what's so exciting on PNC's balance sheet... Assets = $140 bn (roughly) This means if PNC's assets suffer ...

Filed under: Options, Stocks to Buy  Baseball 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.
