Going to be rough-going for regional banks, especially those that made big acquisitions at the top of the bubble (similar to Wachovia's Golden West purchase) who still have to deal with balance sheet issues in the new "bailout" era. Even if bullish on "the saviour" (Paulson), no one really wants more loans and debt, so origination should be quite a problem for regional banks. Wells might be a long-- some day-- if anyone is looking for banking long exposure.

The market looks ahead by 6-12 months. Real Estate funds have been doing very well in the past weeks, some up 10%. A slow climb back for real estate means a brighter future for banks in about six months. This stock has seen its' bottom.

Regions has been looked at by other banks in an attempt to gain control over one of the more powerful southeastern banks ever since they merged with AM South.  Now that their stock price has fallen below ten dollars someone may come in and get a solid bank at a very cheap price.

As the industry has to tolerate bad loans that were made during the credit explosion, the trouble in the banking system goes even deeper, increasing the possibility of more bank failures. However, the regulators are trying to avoid pan...
