The Shark Week Top 5

[mrmarket]

Here are my five favorite stocks from the most recent data dump:

FSFG MCB RBNC SIVB SPFI

Which one do you like? And why??

Looks like we'll be buying a bank!

Most of these seem to be growing earnings, and beating the analyst estimates. Actually tough to tell these apart, for the most part. Only one is not like the others, because most are <$1B in market cap, but only SIVB is a $30B company. Still a reasonable P/E on this one though, so probably as good a pick as any of the others would be.

Only FSFG seems to have some trouble beating estimates, but this one has a much lower P/E than the rest, so it might just be a good value too.... again, tough to tell on these very similar picks (just my $0.02)
