OOOOOoooooo......that's quite a haymaker. :-)
I like BB&T and I like John Allison. That being said, BBT stand to profit most, if all of its competitors go belly up.
I am a former AL regulator and current banker. I have friends in the NC Banking Commission. I heard Allison speak about four years ago. I personally did a review of BB&T’s financials last week related to my bank. BB&T is a rock solid regional bank. Allison is a very impressive, straight up guy. You can have confidence in his point of view.
Well, we can’t have a well-run financial institution benefit from the failures of liars, cheats, gamers, crooks and thieves.
Working hard, playing by the rules and trying to follow both the letter and spirit of the law simply don’t pay in today’s world.
At least that’s the lesson I’ve learned over the past few years.
Those of us who try our best are only the means for our government to reward losers and make themselves feel important, generous and caring.
