It won't be just the Canadians who are calling on our U.S. banks. My sources indicate that the Spanish banks are cruising through the South looking for good buys. Unfortunately, most of the southern banks are either really bad -- poorly run with big mortgage portfolios -- or really expensive. Cramer believes that anyone of the stocks below could be bought by an aggressive Spanish bank.

  • WTNY
    Whitney Holding C
  • $8.31
  • +0.12%
  • $8.24

But let's take a look. First, Whitney in Louisiana is run by dinosaurs but sells at much less than the twice the book that it should get. This $25 stock has a $17 book.
