BCBP - Thanks, SSKILLZ. Appreciate your analysis. I think you're the de facto bank expert on the board. I actually bought a couple books on investing in bank stocks. They're really not very thick, but I haven't gotten through them yet; so maybe I'm a little thick!
There seem to be a gazillion bank stocks out there, so knowing your way around their financial statements would be a good skill to have.
Good luck with IART. Hope it turns for you. Momentum seems to be a pretty powerful force in the market lately.
I have seen lots of $1 stocks with strong earnings and solid balance sheets triple, quadruple and more, but I have yet to see one go below zero.
