The stock is trading at a very low price currently because there is still some uncertainty in the regional banking section with regards to non performing loans. This bank is also facing some problems with these loans but it looks like its getting rid of them slowly and it definitely looks like a safer bet that it will be profitable again by end of 2011.

The management is solid - I don't think they are "going under"; as a result, this stock is very under it's true value. But with "banks" - who really knows?

Have not picked a stock for awhile,and for good reason. The general direction of the market Is flat or down,and that has been the case for the past few months,but In this case we have a stock that has been beaten up so badly that the downside risk seems minimal at this level. Even though It is a speculative Investment, I am willing to take the risk on this one considering that the companys book value Is over $12.00 per share. They just competed a large follow on offering of shares at $2.00 per share,and many of the companys executives bought large chunks In the offering... Tangible stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2010 was $396.3 million, including $117.8 million attributable to preferred stock, compared to $411.5 million a year ago. Tangible book value per common share was $12.18 at quarter-end. At March 31, 2010, Banner had 22.9 million shares outstanding, compared to 17.4 million shares outstanding a year ago. Tangible common stockholders’ equity was $278.5 million at March 31, 2010, or 6.09% of tangible assets, compared to $276.7 million, or 5.87% of tangible assets at December 31, 2009 and $295.2 million, or 6.56% of tangible assets at March 31, 2009.

Will need capital to survive and will dilute exisiting shareholders significantly if they can get it. If they don't, they will go down with dozens of other WA based community banks as the NW economy remains weak over the foreseeable future.
