I have looked at FMAR, as well, it probably is the most high profile of the locals. The arena downtown is named after it. PBKS just seems like a better run shop to me, FMAR doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. The article in the Sun really peaked my interest. Plus, all the other banks except Bank of America in the one half mile radius have been acquired, for what that's worth. I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility of being a takeover candidate, but that's not the primary reason I'm buying. Apparently it's a pretty old school, conservative bank, with a nice dividend payout.
