Robert, Thanks for the news. Since Stocksmart went to a pay website, I don't get the news so easily. The Southern Regional banks will consolidate over the next couple years. It amazing how many there are with small amount of shares outstanding. Like Alabama National, Carolina 1st, South Alabama. Here in Arizona the regional banks have already been taken over. We only have large national banks. Unfortunately, most investors aren't excited in banks. I don't know the banks in the South nor do I live there. So, I'm at a disadvantage. That's why I started the thread. I don't do options. Sorry.
