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. 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 ...

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Spanish infrastructure company Albertis and NY-based Citi Infrastructure have withdrawn their $12.8B bid to lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike for 75 years after state legislators failed to vote on the proposal before an early end to their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.

From the Blogosphere

Is Congress footnoted’s new competition?

Earlier this week, we saw various members of Congress outraged because the three top executives of GM (GM), Ford (F) and Chrysler took corporate jets to beg for $25 billion in money. What’s next, you might ask, will Congressmen (and women) actually start reading SEC filings?

Yikes! It’s already starting to happen! We nearly fell off our chairs when we saw this release yesterday from Rep. Steven LaTourette, who seems to have dived head-first into the amended S-4 that PNC Financial (PNC) filed yesterday in relation to its taxpayer assisted merger — Treasury is kicking in $7.7 billion — with Na

Bookkeeping: Beginning to Rebuild Bank Exposure
Tradermark
48%
Speaking of charts, the financials we own are among the best charts in my watch lists - we basically have 2 charts out there - (a) the broken down but reverted back up to a mean - but now selling off and (b) the over key support levels and now falling back down. Chart (b) has always been our type of company we want to focus on but the choices are so few nowadays. Chart (a) can be found everywhere and indeed probably provided the best "bounce" off the bottom but ONLY if you nailed the bottom within a day or two. And on these selloffs charts (a)s are falling like a rock, while the (b)'s ar...
