Hi Martin. I can find nothing online (or in the Enquirer) to justify the large move. Although the 3 latest acquisitions should be completed by or shortly after the end the month (Ohio Co, Citfed, and State) but those alone shouldn't have moved it like that. I did hear an analyst on CNBC recommend FITB and Star (STB) last week as a play on further consolidation.

I completed the Cincy trifecta this week and got some Provident (PFGI) because it's much cheaper (P/E) then the 2 big guys, and has had a great growth record also !!!
