This is a tough one as I feel they have very little commercial mortgage exposure as compared to other regional banks. It is the next shoe to drop

I am new here but have experience with this stock from the IPO in the early 80's. Tremendous buying potential for a buy and hold investor. I'm currently in and out over the last 3 months and up 40% in my IRA. Just hope my trading doesn't leave me out when I should have held. After all, this is a quality holding and has dropped severly in sympathy with the banking sector. An unjustified drop of 2/3 from top to trough. Compare to NAL or PBCT, you'll see what I mean.

This company has zero sub-prime mortgages, it also has a very high efficiency ratio for regional banks, and it is expanding its number of branches.

always been a good payoff stock with either a dividend or a stock split still acquiring as the price remains below $10. this will make you money in the long term.

stock is nearing its low now, has always been a good payoff with either a split or dividends over the years for me. just bought some and plan to get a few hundred more in the near future. this is a hold and forget stock as it just keeps paying. not many $10 stocks that average close to a $1 payout yearly.

With Dividends to Boot!

Good margins, but over-priced, without sufficient growth prospects to support the price.

I think equity's (stock's) in the short term will fall. This stock however pays a good dividend. The company also owns and operates bonds, which i think would be worth more if the stock market went bad. In a indirect way it is a hedge, as the bonds can be sold off at premiums, or held on to. The bottom line is, if things started happening, a company that pays 6% as a dividend (better than some good amount of bonds) is nice for holding equity in the stock market. You can lose if they cut the dividend. That is a risk you assume at the current $11 / share.
In the future, dividends can always go up. Its great to be paid dividends for holding equity.
