Off a little bit, but thinks there is still growth

Still a bit of upside in banks

Hold at least until a first merger is announced.

All banks are well run/profitable Multiples 10, 12, 15 X earnings.

Let them go after a 10/15% increase. In a recession, banks will be hit.

Better to buy the target bank, BMO rather than the acquirer
