stock dropped from at least $35 to about 10. Dividend was probably set when stock was selling at a high price. % at that point in time was probably reasonable.

bank stock traditionaly sells for 1.5 to 2 x book if I remember corectly. Most regional banks are selling for less than book now.

Larger and international banks have written down their mortgage problems. Regonal banks have not done as good a job and institutional investors know this and are shunning the regionals.

Banks paying that high a dividend will probably reduce the dividend at the next meeting. Regions has one coming up.

btw i have been out of the market for about a year now and don't know when to get back in. I have a friend who uses Ken Fisher, i follow him and avoid the 1.25 % fee. Fisher is usually good for doubling your money in 5 to 6 years.
