Banks. I'm concerned about the narrow bank spread rates. There's good recognition of the vibrancy of ethnic communities (e.g. Korean, Chinese), and as individuals and businesses grow financially, the larger banks, imo will come in much stronger and be more attractive because they can offer better terms and broader range of services. (just an opinion). I'm nervous I'm overloaded with too many money center, regional, and local bank stocks. I am considering only holding those regional and local bank stocks that pay a relatively okay dividend (greater than CATY) or have a lower p/book, or operate in an area I'm familiar with (VNBC). Bluntly, I'm just scared. finance.yahoo.com
