bufddymike	Proven winner.	Love	November 09, 2009
barrons3	I have been sticking by my 12 in 2012 forecast for Citigroup. I think that Huntington Bancshares can work its way higher. But the days when sheer hope or greater fool theory powers Fannie, Freddie or CIT at last seem over.	Love	October 29, 2009

barrons3	I would also circle back to some of the other low-digit banks, including Citigroup (C) and Fifth Third (FITB).	Love	September 24, 2009
barrons3	What if Fifth Third does a big deal in the hole and then says, "We are fully reserved"? It's a fact of life that bad can get better, and that is what drives stocks. Is it that simple? Kind of. Enough to do the job.	Love	September 17, 2009

barrons3	I am a huge believer in Fifth Third Bank (FITB) and Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) and even Regions Financial (RF), with the last two having a lot of room to romp and the former in good shape to do an acquisition. Given that we are waiting for hundreds of banks to fail, there could be ample opportunity. (Query -- why haven't more failed yet? Answer -- the FDIC is letting the bad banks run and run and run, bad banks meaning banks that have to pay up for hot money via high interest CDs that we will all be on the hook for.)

pilot1ray	good bank relatively clear of financial mess	Love	August 13, 2009
barrons3	First, the good: Regions Financial (RF), Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) and Fifth Third Bank (FITB) are three regional banks that I regard as great calls on the turn in the economy, and I would buy all three. Regions is the worst of the three, and that matters because right now people actually want the worst ones, because they could fly the most if things get better. Huntington didn't have a great quarter but has an energized management, and I think this one could be on track for a double. Fifth Third? What can I say, Goldman Sachs loves it, as it has built a gigantic book of reserves and is doing everything right. It reminds me of the old Fifth Third -- conservative, lean and mean.	Love	August 06, 2009
John Borowski	The banking industry will servive and this bank will either make it on it's own or be taken over by a bigger bank.	Love	August 03, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	He said that like Fifth Third (FITB), Marshall & Ilsley (MI) "used to be a great bank," but it "lost its way." After its recent stock offering, it's once again making money for people, said Cramer. <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10513771/1/cramers-stop-trading-radioshack.html" target="_blank">"Cramer's 'Stop Trading!': RadioShack," 6-12-09</a>	Love	June 15, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"But we must collapse Fifth Third (FITB), KeyCorp (KEY), SunTrust (STI) and Regions Financial (RF) into other banks if we are going to move through this period. We aren't there yet." <a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=a42e12e8-b7f1-495a-b03b-9c2400c3b85f" target="_blank">"FDIC and Treasury at Loggerheads," 6-10-09</a>	Love	June 11, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	"Don't go with Fifth Third (FITB). Don't go with Key (KEY)," said Jim Cramer on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment on Tuesday. (<a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10508433/1/cramers-stop-trading-huntington-bank.html" target="_blank">"Stop Trading!" 6-2-09</a>)	Love	June 03, 2009

barrons3	Lear (LEA), AMD (AMD), Genworth (GENW), Tenet (THC), Huntington (HBAN) and Fifth Third (FITB). These are our leaders? This is what's rocking the market?	Love	May 14, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"Who wouldn't take advantage of this? Fifth Third (FITB)? Suntrust (STI)?" (<a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=8f053f2a-e87f-4c21-b108-9c07006a98f7" target="_blank">"A Bevy of Bank Offerings," 5-12-09</a>)	Love	May 13, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	Eric Jackson: "Fifth Third Bank (FITB) rocketed 25% yesterday after news came out that its mortgage unit had refinanced $21 million of Freddie Mac (FRE) loans recently. "There's no question that when you look at FITB -- or any of the regional banks -- they look cheap on a price-to-book basis. ..." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10496626/1/top-takes-from-realmoney.html" target="_blank">Read more here.</a>	Love	May 05, 2009

barrons3	Hold - Price 2.92 on April 1 by Sandler O'Neill Target: 3. We expect FITB to report 1Q09 [earnings per share] of minus 15 cents -- better than 4Q08's minus $3.82 (which included a sizable goodwill impairment charge and...high credit costs). The consensus estimate is minus 27 cents. We are making no changes to our EPS estimates...we lowered [them] just days ago [after FITB said] it would sell a majority stake in its processing subsidiary; we lowered our 2009E EPS from minus five cents to minus 40 cents. We also lowered our 2010E-EPS from 50 cents to seven cents. The biggest stock-price drivers...for FITB will be credit and capital. Management has allayed some capital concerns with the processing-sale announcement. Market cap: $1.75 billion.	Love	April 04, 2009
