] is up 39% in the last 12 months because they’ve never issued a subprime mortgage or sold a CDO (collateralized debt obligations). Although the bank only has 125 branches, at 9.7 billion they have a larger market value than Washington Mutual.
And CEO Ron Hermance tells Fast Money that his company's future looks bright. “There are fewer banks to finance houses in the New York metropolitan area and that’s led to increased volumes for us” he says on CNBC.
Hermance also suggests that a large potion of bank's success stems from the fact that it’s a regional firm focused on the New York area. "We’re going through a geographic recession," he says. "If you isolate 7 states Michigan, Ohio and Indiana which are auto related and Florida, Arizona, California and Nevada you pretty much have isolated where the housing crisis is centered."
