Bank watch 03-02

The regional banks are down around 10% while the S&P is down around 3%.  Quite a difference, but such divergence can create opportunities.  A well capitalized bank that showed profits every quarter in the bank meltdown 2008-2010 is BBT.  It is down from a peak around $29.50 to around $27.02.  I believe BB&T is setting a trading bottom.

They have indicated they are in the market to do a $3b or so deal for a bank (seem to be targeting the Midwest currently).  They just sold $1b in bonds (a warchest?).  I will have a limit order in for this bank  somewhere around $26.75-26.85 to take a small position (as a trade).
