I appreciate the encouragement Salty. A couple years ago there weren't very many who wanted to discuss small banks and now we have a superb group of guys sharing all kinds of info/insights. I thought creating the Bank Recovery Room board was an excellent idea (well done Joeysco).

I think the key to being real successful on these small bank investments will be determined by a persons willingness to hold long ...and hold tight. It took less than 2 years for these banks to fall from their historical highs and the climb back up has taken much much longer. Its a slow process and the road is littered with hundreds of banks that failed along the way but as I said I think investors of these surviving banks will be rewarded over time.

Best of luck to everyone!
