Time To Dabble In Regional Banks

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 04:35:00 GMT

With the financial landscape shifting under recent news, especially the quasi-nationalization of Freddie Mac and Fannie May, I believe that it is time to speculate on selected regional banks for both dividend and total return over the next few quarters and beyond.

Evans Bancorp Loss Linked to Bad Debt

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:54:00 GMT

Aug. 13--Evans Bancorp swung to a second-quarter loss Wednesday, as the Southtowns bank set aside more for bad debts because of economic conditions and put its national equipment leasing business up for sale.
The Angola-based parent of Evans Bank reported a loss of $1.9 million, or 67 cents per share, compared with a profit of $1.4 million, or 10 cents per share, in the same period a year ago.
However, that included a net loss of $2.1 million from the leasing business, as the bank marked down its value based on the competitive bids it has received so far from potential buyers.
