Recent insider buying/selling activity looks like day trading. Categorically, management seems to be buying below $24 and flipping the sale above $24. Petty cash values, but still --- perhaps it avoids suspicion? One director bought at $17 on June 30, and flipped with a sale on July 15 for $24.
Also, dollar values of the transactions in 2008 are very small. I've seen bums make more lucrative investments. These guys are obviously penny-pinching their demoted salaries.
Recs
FFKT is a holding company for banks, insurance companies, etc. They have always been pretty conservative but have grown over the past few years--the new aquisitions should start paying off!. They also have the state of Kentucky account, which gives them solid footing in this type of market.
Recs
Their efficiency ratio is too high and their margin is under pressure. Operating subsidiary banks with separate charters is expensive and doesn't take advantage of the economies of scale.
