Well it didn’t even take a month for this bank to fall dangerously close to disrepair. At the beginning of the month, it was priced at $2.5 billion, a massive discount to book. Now it’s at 7% of book and people are fearful. The old saying be greedy when is on my mind, yet that generally only applies to good to great firms. I’m not sure FRC is one of them. Only time will tell if the stock can rebound, but it would be speculation to take a new position or dollar cost average at this point.

This could be the best (or worst) short term trade available in the market. As long as the banks financials hold up, the stock is trading at a 60% discount, or more. It generated $1.6 billion in net income on $5.7 billion in revenue last year. The bank has a market cap of $2.5 billion. This one is not hard to see.
