Corporate executives and board members (“insiders”) are required to fully disclose their stock purchases pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940.

  • Sorting Through the Regionals

    By Marshall Hargrave - April 15, 2013 | Tickers: BBT, FITB, HBAN, RF, STI

    Standard & Poor's has a positive outlook for regional banks, as do I. These banks tend to have less exposure to international concerns and also are purer plays on deposits and consumer/small business economic health, whereas the exposure of mega-banks can be susceptible to trading and other "unplanned" losses.

    By Maxwell Fisher - March 14, 2013 | Tickers: CMA, FITB, FMER, HBAN

    Cincinnati based Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB) has a well-earned reputation as a conservative, well run institution.

In contrast, 2012 proved that the roughly $120 billion asset bank is back to its pre-recession levels more »

    By Shas Dey - January 16, 2013 | Tickers: FRC, HBAN, KEY, MTB, ZION

    Banks took the worst hit in the financial crisis of 2008-2009 when it came to light that they did not adhere to established standards for loan underwriting and their exotic and creative products turned out to be nothing more than greed-oriented fancy schemes.
