		<description>USB (US Bank) is one i&#039;ve been eyeing for sure.  Conservative management, solid business, will have a strong &#039;09, and good dividend (although dividend growth should slow i think).  add in writing some covered calls on that and you&#039;ve got a solid play i think.</description>

		<description>I am also wondering when we might start to see some write-ups of the written-down assets.  With rumours that Citi was sellign 12B for 90cents on the dollar, I suspect that while not this quarter, we might start to see them next.</description>
