According to Bloomberg, this company has
$67.5 million in preferred stock from the GSEs. That's 23 percent of its risk-weighted assets.

Preferred stock in the GSEs are likely to get wiped out when the firms are nationalized.

Concerns over liquidity and other key ratios.

Will be interesting to see if (or how) they meet earnings estimates for 2Q.

Solid company with a currently depressed stock price. Fed Reserve may bail out the financials soon, and good insider activity. Unfortunately it's become very unpopular in the last weeks/months. Great buying opportunity almost at 52-week low. Should be safe from sub-prime hurts too.
