One of the side benefits to a clean, chit chat free board like we have here on JAXB is a person doesn't have to plow thru hundreds of posts to get the meat of the story. In fact the quality of the info in just 72 posts is pretty good.
To really get the feel for what's going on with the banks' capital raising efforts to date I would suggest reading those post and pay particular attention to the post of Enterprising Investor. He has the unique ability of providing answers to questions long before they're ever asked. It always pays to go back and read his past work on any board you see him on ;-)
I'm glad you mentioned TARP...thank you for reminding me.
Jacksonville Bancorp didn't take TARP money...and I agree wholeheartedly with your comment about rising Florida RE valuations. It can only help the banks going forward.
