		<description><![CDATA[Financials were the clear winners today, particularly regional banks.  I have been pounding my fist for the past few months about financial stocks.  They're likely the first ones to recover when the market turns bullish.  A lot of bank stocks look particularly cheap because they have such low price-to-book ratios.  A good example is Superior Bank (NASDAQ: SUPR) that has book value of $16.43 but is only trading at $3.25.  On the surface, it looks like a bargain but you have to look more closely at the company to get a clearer picture...]]></description>

Fortunately, stocks are traded by their ticker symbols and not their names so lucky for SUSQ.  In any case, I am spotlighting SUSQ today for a variety of reasons.  First, and most obvious, their stock went up 4.1% closing at $6.08 today.  Secondly, their intrinsic value is high -- a book value of $19.20 per share and ttm P/E of 36 [...]]]></description>

Despite the negative sentiment towards anything financial-related today, there were a few bright spots -- one of them called Intervest Bancshares (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=IBCA" target=_blank>IBCA</a>).  IBCA ended the day up 10% at $2.86 on almost 6x average volume [...]]]></description>
