Solid, conservative bank that should rise faster than peers in the Financial industry as the industry as a whole recovers. They look to be well-positioned in contrast to their competition because they are financially sound and continue to expand and acquire smaller banks and a greater customer base. Now is the time to do that, as so many people are disillusioned with the larger Wall Street banks, seen as poor in customer service and insensitive to the average citizen on Main Street. BB&T does not have this image problem, and in fact its humble beginnings as a bank for rural farmers and areas of the Southeast supported largely by agriculture lends some legitimacy to this view and proves to be a major, inimitable advantage the company has over its peers.
