As stated above, I didn't buy it yet. In fact, it got into single digits today, but I
was able to resist.
Instead, I bought USB, a total opposite and about as good a bank as you'll find. A Wide Moat, below average risk and Great Stewardship (according to M*), shareholder friendly, good Q3 results (not billions in losses), financially strong, conservatively managed, with only half of revenues generated by credit spreads. I reckon there's about a 35% MOS here and a juicy 5%+ dividend at these levels. Dependable ROEs for the last 10 years and scintillating ROAs north of 2%. Hell, it's almost a Rule #1 stock.
I'm still watching RDN, PMI and MTG, though. No telling how low they go.
