I'm bearish on all banking and financials as a sector while credit is tight, and loans are still defaulting at high rates. Bankruptcies are still rising, not a bullish sign.

Recs 2 (BBT) bluejonnyd (32.63) Submitted: 7/03/08 1:30 AM : Start Price: $23.37 BBT Score: 13.90 BB&T, while caught inevitably in the current disastrous credit situation, shows signs of being able to survive it and thrive afterwards. For one, the bank has been around in some form or another since Reconstruction, and the institution appears financially sound. Though growth has mostly been stymied, earnings and assets have not taken a particularly hard hit - most certainly not a hit hard enough to warrant the 42% price decrease in the past year. That dramatic run down is the reason that the PE, at an attractive 7.56, is at a five-year low, and is in fact lower than the dividend, a well-plumped 7.95%. The knife on this stock may still be falling, at least until the loan markets unscramble themselves, but when they do it's my bet that BB&T will still be around, paying a good dividend, and being a big part of the correction back upwards.
