Synovus! (SNV - commentary - Trade Now) How can this "little bank that couldn't" be hurting people so badly? I think that this now dangerous situation is a reminder of the precarious nature of the regional banks. That's rough, because I think the regional banks are putting pressure on the good ones. Let me take a step further and say that they are hurting even JP Morgan (JPM - commentary - Trade Now), which should be standing out here. They will also hurt Capital One (COF - commentary - Trade Now) and PNC (PNC - commentary - Trade Now), which were vindicated this quarter.
My hope is that somehow Synovus finds another sugar daddy somewhere. But I can't imagine there is a Plan B and Synovus is beginning to look like CIT (CIT - commentary - Trade Now). We can handle one CIT, we can't handle another. So, suddenly my screen is filled with the symbol SNV, and it is a symbol not just for the stock, but for a particularly ugly and threatening moment in the largest cohort in the S&P 500. Random musings: I am a little worried about CommScope (CTV - commentary - Trade Now), given the weak numbers from analogue General Cable (BGC - commentary - Trade Now). At the time of publication, Cramer was long JPM.
