Wall Street Wednesday: BancTrust Fianancial Group Inc

Updates: Percentage gains and losses on previous picks.

BRO: 0.35%
LFL: (1.60%)
LHO: 24.49%

(I love doing this): If you had put $10,000 in each of these three stocks you would have earned $2,324.00.

This week's pick is the regional bank BancTrust Fianancial Group Inc (BTFG). They are located in Alabama and Florida and are a strong competitor in the regional banks industry. With high revenue growth, positive earnings per share (a rarity in this industry as of late), and consistent dividends being paid, I think that this somewhat risky investment is worth trying right now. Within the next six months I am predicting high growth in the value of this stock.
