Spekulatius cautioned and questioned a poster's reasons for buying puts on RKH. I don't know how the puts were structured back in April, but the chart of RKH shows RKH mostly moving up, not down:

Currently:

Positive article by Forbes now out on small banks:

The stocks all look too expensive to me as buys now. I'm attracted to BDGE because of its high roa and roe. Don't understand why its performance is so good. Maybe if I knew more about its business arena, Bridgehampton, NY. Also like high roa and roe for PCBC. I understand its geographical operating area (Santa Barbara and environs) in a high money ($$$ real estate) demographic.

Comments about these stocks or others in the sector are welcome.

fwiw, I'm holding BBX. (I've mentioned it here a couple of times.) I added recently to my position in BBX's controlling entity, BFCF. I also have shares in the 'b' class: BFCFB.ob.
