Q: Hi Peter and company,

With Pacwest being the latest troubled regional bank, are there any high quality regionals being sold down in sympathy? Feel free to suggest any others not included above.

Thanks for the great service,
Angelo

Q: In the wake of turbulence there is often opportunity - is that the case for "brave" and NOT risk averse investors in the regional banks of the US? If so, what key metrics would you use and do you see some larger and safer opportunities within the regional bank space - maybe this could be an article you could write for clients?

Regards
John

Q: Hello 5i, I have a different company I wish to ask about. It is called Zions Bancorporation, ZION on Nasdaq. It took a real beating in the bank sector collapse. I am a strong believer in tactical asset allocation and was considering this stock. I know it will be a gruelling climb back to its "former glory". It has boosted its capital, reduced its preferred shares, and now the common share holders got a boost in dividends. Is this a sign that they are on a semi-straight path upwards?

Thanks very much.
