High short interest should be closing out soon causing a short squeeze.

Unless China starts buying multiple US banks, I don't see other investors making big purchases before the next wave of mortgage defaults. China may be interested in buying US banks because they want US real estate. Why take over a country when you could just buy it one city at a time.

ZION has an illiquid balance sheet and a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also one of the most loss making companies at least until 2011. It may go bankrupt.

* See Reggie's analysis
* Heavy short interest
* #10 on Commercial Real Estate loans list
* D grade from Hillbent.com
* have more than a third of their loans in commercial real estate and construction, a particularly vulnerable type of debt now that many building companies have no work
* One of the most exposed to owners needing to refinance
* The largest short bet among the smaller banks is Zions Bancorp (Nasdaq:ZION), where 27% of the outstanding shares are sold short, as of September 15, 2009. Its total of 33.7 million shares sold short is up 10% from the beginning of September, and would take nearly six days to cover.

40% of its assets are real estate, mainly California (worst market) and regional lenders tend to pick through the worst projects. Check please.

This bank is selling at half of book and 1.6x P/CFO. In the last few days, they've been downgraded by several brokerages. One analyst said that that loan losses and writedowns will continue to pile up. I think that worst is pretty well known in the stock.

Financial stocks carry a P/E ratio of 22.4, and the so-called "recovery" has been especially strong in bank stocks. Therefore, I’m concentrating my shorting interest in the banking sector.

17% rise in NPL's...and this one quote from the conference call "further property declines lead to dollar-to-dollar write offs (in AZ and NV)"
That was a few weeks ago, and from newly released data we know property values are continuing to drop.

This company has exposure in all the worst geographies to real estate and commerical loans. Were it not for programs like TARP and TALF this company very likely would have faced insolvency.

bad assets and bad loans are skyrocketing, should fail within a year or so. They sold the wrong product at the wrong time and in the wrong places.

They just took over Nevada State Bank just prior to their earnings release.
What kind of bank takes over another bank gets labelled as a "BAD BANK" by investors? Maybe I am naieve to outperform on this one...but I don't think so.
