    Webster Financial: Following the Smart Money

    Webster Financial Corp. (WBS) is a regional bank, interesting as a value play where the investor has the benefit of the involvement of smart money - in this case, Warburg Pincus.

    As a strategy, following the smart money into financials worked horribly during the meltdown, a prime example would be TPG and Washington Mutual. However, the exceptional circumstances which existed last year have now been resolved and/or incorporated into expectations, and this situation makes good sense as contrarian value play.

    On Q2 Bank Earnings and IRA Ratings, Very Briefly

    I thought the readers of TBP might be interested in where we are with the development of our bank ratings and also which banks we actively follow as part of the IRA Advisory Service. Of note, we’ve also built a new theme park for our consumer users: www.irabankratings.com.

    Over the past four years,  we have established several objective and subjective measures for looking at bank safety and soundness benchmarking, including:

    Challenge to Jim Cramer: Let’s Talk About Banks!

    I notice that Jim Cramer is yowling on TheStreet.com today, pounding the table on US Bancorp (NYSE:USB) and Webster Savings Bank (NYSE:WBS).  Jim, how much you want to buy?  These institutions are going to be shoveling money into the furnace for another 3-4 quarters.  We’ll have a post up on TBP tomorrow on our view of the banks, BTW, including a profile for WBS.

    <>In his latest rant, Cramer is once again showing himself the Goldman/Geithner shill. He attacks the FDIC, falsely claiming on the same clip that it is the fault of the deposit insurance agency for  not resolving dead banks. <><><><><><><><><><><><>< />< /><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />...

    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.
