Has a significant commerical real estate portfolio (as a percentage of its entire loan business), particularly in condo-bubble areas like Las Vegas and Florida. If builders and developers start to (continue to?) struggle due to the continuing real estate swoon, write-offs will follow. This is probably somewhat priced into the stock already, but I would expect things to quickly get much worse if the commercial real estate business heads in the direction that everyone seems to be expecting.
