E_K_S: I have to defer your question to somebody else; I don't know of any regionals that meet your three criteria. I'd guess some banks would meet them though: we do occasionally - or even more frequently - see regionals being snapped up with buyout offers. ---------------- I continue to hold C, WM, and am suffering with NYB. Also I've some JPM and BAC. Regarding foreign banks, I'm in ABN, CIB, HBC, WF. Dogs (losers for me), I'm considering closing for the tax loss are Puerto Rican DRL and OFG. I've a few shares of KRNY. The only positions that I recall that I've bought or added to in the past year or two have been a little more CIB and WF on dips, a new buy of VNBC, and now FNLC.

Though you might find these numbers interesting-(not mine and not checked for accuracy) NATURAL GAS STRIPS FOR THE NEXT EIGHT MONTHS: November, 2006 $6.51 December, 2006 $8.06 January, 2007 $8.64 February, 2007 $8.64 March, 2007 $8.50 April, 2007 $7.79 May, 2007 $7.75 June, 2007 $7.86 July, 2007 $7.96 Above, please notice some prices for the upcoming contracts for delivery for natural gas. This is based on NYSE prices and as we mention, these prices are a lot better than where they have been in the last couple of months. Unfortunately though, these are the prices for south of the border. Up here in Canada, where you face pipeline charges to get it there and inventories are just as full, instead of getting $6.51 U.S., the current spot price is $4.23 Canadian. Ouch!
