I am curious to see if the declines will continue or if HBAN can jump to the top and posssibly out of its 3 month trading band of 16-18. I would take that as a very positive sign for the banking industry or sign of more trouble to come if new lows are struck.
Well HBAN has broken 16 this morning and KRE is making a new low again today and not surprising the market is on a big break again with this occurrence. Len Walter on WBBM business news in Chicago was claiming to have talked to a Bank of America executive who told him Bank of America was going to have to cut their dividend, I cannot find anything on that on the internet but shortly after he said that BAC dropped from 44.5 to 43.75.
