People here should heed the stampeding footsteps rather than citing light volume, or the bad report from BB&T (BBT) or the lagging of Apple (AAPL) ahead of the quarter. Many of the bears here were calling for a strong dollar, which would kill this rally. Now the rallying cry is "Higher rates needed"?

It's the bank I use and I know how thourough they screen you before they loan you any money.

Regional Bank Growth potential

China's spoken: "America: Sell off." So we will. The big steel and coal companies that are levered to China and the small biotech companies and restaurant chains that have no China exposure at all. The fertilizer companies like Potash (POT) and the regional banks like BB&T (BBT).

I am sitting here right now trying to figure out how much Express Scripts (ESRX) should be down off of China. Or Ford (F). Or Citigroup (C). Or BB&T (BBT). Frankly, it's a tough one -- I am guessing 20% because prevailing wisdom now says 20%.

Solid Bank

good company

Remember that many of them had broken down to the levels where their secondaries had been put on or below them, with BB&T (BBT) and Wells Fargo (WFC) hanging by a thread and PNC (PNC) really breaking down. Not only that, we had Capital One (COF) getting crushed.
