March 16, 2009

1) Regional banks do not have a diverse income stream, and are heavily reliant upon net interest margin and "balance sheet banking" to generate income 2) While bank failures will likely be concentrated in certain marketplaces, the likelyhood of failure or success has more to do with reliance upon loan performance and less to do with size or location 3) Larger banks have mostly divested themselves of toxic assets, and the financial services sector as a whole has largely digested the mortgage meltdown.
