UPC stock has declined 27% from its high. They
have 12 pending acquisitions totaling $13.1B and you
want them to strap on $20B ASO? UPC has gone around
the south telling banks to join with them that they
too would soon be acquired. Well, I don't know if
that dog will hunt anymore.
It has been expressed
on this board & in investment pieces that UPC is a
great acquirer, but the jury is still out on
management.
I don't think there is a bank in AL that UPC could
presently handle(ASO, CNB, CBSS, RGBK,or SOTR).
Seems to
me, the far better desire of an UPC shareholder would
be for UPC to team up with a proven management
leader like FITB. Then let FITB acquire an AL bank.
