I have owned BB&T stock for years. One of the largest regional banks in the country. The only time the stock and dividends have gone down is when they were forced to take bail out funds, which were repaid ASAP. UP this morning...

I am looking out like a hawk at these bank’s CORPORATE BONDS. Yields have probably gone up.

I own Morgan Stanley corporate bonds that mature in 2013 (bought them last year when they were yielding 4.6%).

I plan to hold it to maturity.

Wow. That needs to be broadcasted.

I have a very positive image of the Baked Beans & Taters Bank from the days of the Kelo Supreme Court Ruling. Didn't they announce that they would not loan money to develop property taken under Kelo?

If you have a bank like that in your region, it is definitely a keeper.

I have about 1700 shares of NBTB stock...the price rarely changes...it has paid out a dividend for 450 plus quarters...but its very small...

but they've been buying up small banks thru out upstate NY and into Vermont, and Pa.....

my hope in keeping them is that there will someday be a stock split...

but even a measly .20 share is better than losing money and is better than the average bank...(ok..I'm deluded)
