I worked at 5/3 from 1998-2002. When they got audited by the state of Ohio for accounting errors in 2002, they lost a lot of value. Much of their growth from the 1990's came from purchasing small banks and using their own high PE stock to fund the sa...

This stock is a regional bank. I believe they have been knocked down by the sector, but have a sound management team. Once the credit crunch shakes out - banks that are sound will again attract investors looking for stable investment and dividends...

I have had dealings with this bank, and can tell you that their nasty people IMHO.
Will never use them again. Nasty.
