Solid bank that doesn't appear to be hurt by the financial crunch. Paying over 6% dividends. Trades in small range, but I think it's just overlooked.

Easy to be the tallest midget, ie, stock looks better than it is because previous management avoided market/sub-prime and CRE pitfalls and competitors have been on the shoals. Current management trying to grow to appease analysts but bank is too small to have significant infrastructure to grow. NEOhio is a dead market and customer base/market is aged. Business community also dead in NEOhio. Foray into Chicago with a gnat's presence won't move the needle. If you want safety this is it. If you want growth...forget it.

I've been buying this low and selling high for a bit now and when it goes down always bounces back. While I own it I get a good dividend. This bank is conservative and cautious, good qualities when the financial markets are in flux.
