For those of you not keeping track at home, I'm a bit of a Regional bank "Knife Catcher"....
so, many of the Regionals are losing tons of money 100%-50% of their earnings because of NPA(mortgage) losses, or bad loans to developers.
Mercantile Bank Corporation (NasdaqGS:MBWM - News) reported net income for 2007 of $9.0 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, a decline of approximately 55 percent from the $19.8 million, or $2.33 per diluted share
Damn, that stock is taking a 20% blood bath today
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.
