Ditch, I already have all the banks I want. I own BMO, SBSI as opposed to PBCT, and I have a speculation position in C.

My only other financial is in the insurance sector. I own CINF.

When I was comparing PBCT to SBSI, the latter had better operating margins, a better return on equity, and a lower payout ratio. So, I went with SBSI instead.

SBSI also has a history of giving out special dividends in addition to their four quarterly dividends. Sometimes the special dividend is in shares, sometimes in cash. Either way is okay with me for now since I'm reinvesting the dividends anyway.

In the 70's down here in SC. Been cooking out on the grill every day. How's your weather? Ha!
