I really want to like this bank: they're well capitalized by any measure, they operate in an economically stable area, and they've had the free cash flow to steadily grow their dividend to a very nice yield.

However... over the past three years, 75% of pre-tax income has come from service charges. This makes them more vulnerable than most to the recent federal regulation aiming to curb bank fees. If they don't find a way around this, or they can't improve their interest income margins, free cash flow and that fat dividend will dry up quickly.

I suggest avoiding this stock for the next couple quarters, just to see how much earnings is affected by the new law.

this regional bank has made a tredmendous comeback over the last few years. they have no exposure to sub-prime loans, a well run bank that after several years of throwing darts, shed the non-banking underperforming business. now they are concentrating on the business of being a bank. i personally own over 10000 shares.

i have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. so lets have a new theme the best is yet to come.
