Mike, I don't know if you follow CSDS anymore, but it looks like they had a pretty good Q2. 11 cents puts them somewhere between RMBS and AOL. I'd be willing to sell at a price between RMBS and AOL. For now, anyway <g>

Wednesday July 21, 9:02 am Eastern Time Chase Manhattan quarterly profits up 25 percent NEW YORK, July 21 (Reuters) - The No. 2 U.S. bank, Chase Manhattan Corp. (NYSE:CMB - news), said on Wednesday its second-quarter profits excluding one-time items rose 25 percent to $1.351 billion, powered by strong trading results, (editor's note - shouldn't that be "strong bubbleboy bailout package"?) investment banking fees, consumer spending and private equity gains. Chase earned $1.55 a share, up from $1.21 a share, or $1.079 billion, in last year's second quarter and well above the $1.37 a share Wall Street expected the bank to earn, according to First Call, which tracks analysts forecasts. Including non-recurring gains this year and a $5 million restructuring charge last year, Chase earned $1.393 billion, up from $1.074 billion. ''Each of our businesses - global banking, national consumer services and global services - posted double-digit revenue growth and more than 20 percent growth in earnings,' William Harrison Jr., president and chief executive, said. Robust markets lifted the bank's trading revenues 45 percent to $733 million, although these results were 12 percent lower than first-quarter levels. Investment banking fees rose 34 percent to a record $585 million as the bank expanded its share of the merger and acquisition advisory, corporate bond underwriting and loan syndication businesses. Private equity gains jumped 39 percent in the quarter to $513 million, because of gains on investment in several companies, including Internet company StarMedia Network Inc. (Nasdaq:STRM - news), which successfully went public. Revenues at the bank's global services division, which includes custody and cash management, rose 14 percent to $777 million after several acquisitions last year and growth in structured finance activity. Consumer services revenues rose 11 percent to $2.21 billion as increased credit card usage boosted cardmember services revenues 5 percent to $1.0 billion. Home finance revenues rose 19 percent to $291 million while regional consumer banking revenues increased 9 percent to $593 million. good investing--- fred
