STI: Bull or Bear?

Stress Test results indicated that STI had to raise the most money as compared to it's equity. Looks like the $2.2 bn the gov't wants them to raise compares unfavorably vs the roughly 8 billion in capital, or 28% which is 4% worse than RF's 24% (2.5 bn). The stock has risen more than 100% since before the stress test was revealed by Obama administration, and now trades at close to 70% of book value-- even though book value could be further impaired by future losses. This may sound cheap, if not compared to the just over 30% of book value RF and KEY trade. Also don't like the fact th...

Five Struggling Dividend Stocks I'm Still Bullish On Graphic_rating_buy STI
-50.87%
in 444 days
<>Earlier this week we looked at my top 5 high fliers for 2008. Unfortunately, for every up, there is a down and that is certainly true for my portfolio. As before, we will look at results through July 31, 2008. Here they are my cellar dwellers with comments:

#5 - General Electric (GE) -19.3% Total 2008 Return
Of my cellar dwellers, GE is the one I am most bullish on. I liked it at $38 when I bought my first tranche in July/2007, and liked it even more at $29 when I bought my last tranche this month.

#4 - First Industrial Realty, Inc. (FR) -22.3% Total 2008 Return<>
This was my first ever dividend ...
