COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)--Regional bank holding company Huntington Bancshares Inc. (HBAN) said Thursday it expects to report a fourth-quarter loss of $239 million stemming mostly from its connection with a company that makes subprime loans. Its stock fell nearly 10% to its lowest price since 2001 before recovering somewhat. The loss is expected to be 65 cents a share for the quarter ended Dec. 31, much greater than the loss of 21 cents a share expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial.
Columbus-based Huntington Bancshares is a $55 billion regional bank holding company with more than 700 banking offices in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. .
Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. You can't be stupid enough to trade off anything I say.... I'm lucky they let me out of the straight-jacket long enough to trade.
