Small financial stocks with great dividend and/or growth potential.

-
CHEV
Cheviot Financial - $7.68
- -0.26%
- $7.59
Very good takeout candidate in an attractive and highly-competitive Midwest market. Having trouble staying up, but there should be a breakout soon. Dividend increases abound.

BBX
Bankatlantic Bncp - $1.62
- -3.57%
- $1.68
Lights out!!

-
SFNC
Simmons First Nat - $26.04
- -1.77%
- $26.45
Arkansas is a great bread-and-butter state, and these guys have the footprint. This has held up very well, in the recent down-draft.

-
SBIB
Sterling Bancshar - $5.10
- -0.97%
- $5.14
Nice Houston footprint, and often mentioned as a prime acquisition candidate. Look for a takeout in the $12-$13 range.

-
HT
Hersha Hospitalit - $2.56
- -5.19%
- $2.65
Great hotel properties, in high-dollar markets with tight supply. It has sold off with other REITs, lately, because of concern over air travel -- many of their hotels serve the airport crowd. I believe patience will be rewarded. Nice dividend.

-
BBT
Bb&t Cp - $24.47
- -0.41%
- $24.24
Management entrenched and somewhat over-paid, but quite a nice franchise has been built, and the dividend policy is superior. Fortunately, the dividend appears to be safe, even with the big sell-off in the sector. In fact, it was raised for August '08, at a general time when many others have been cut.

-
FCF
First Commonwlth - $4.65
- -3.73%
- $4.71
Excellent dividend yield. Not a very attractive market area, but apparently a well-run company.

-
SNH
Senior Hsg Sbi - $18.63
- -2.05%
- $18.82
With the USA's demographics as they are, who could argue with this sector? The dividend has risen, as I predicted, and probably will do so again.
