Dividend Growth Forum

I have been looking at a lot of regional banks lately.  They're smaller, so they don't have as much regulatory hurdles as the big boys (WFC, BAC, C, etc).  

Specific names include SBSI, which I've owned for over a decade, and BKSC, HFWA, TOWN, SASR, & WBS.  These are all on David Fish's CCC list, so they're DGI companies.  

What are your opinions on regional banks in general, and do you have any opinions on the specific ones mentioned?

I also own SBSI and love my yearly stock dividend. Very happy with my investment.

Take a look at OZRK

For what it's worth, an article of mine was just published on one of these regional banks over at SA:
