Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Rich Smith]

  Few regional banking stocks in the U.S. today cost more than BB&T (NYSE: BBT  ) stock. Indeed, the stock's biggest distinguishing factor is probably its priciness. Valued at 14.1 times trailing earnings, shares of BB&T cost 14% more than bigger rival US Bancorp (NYSE: USB  ) , and 33% more! than smaller Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB  ) . But is there a good reason for investors to pay up for BB&T stock?

  I feel very good about our investment in Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC  ) , I feel very good about our investment in US Bancorp (NYSE: USB  ) , I feel very good about our investment in M&T Bank (NYSE: MTB  ) .

  Heard about U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB  ) lately? Probably not, and that's a good thing. U.S. Bancorp is the big bank with small drama: quietly -- but profitably -- going about its business year in and year out, and rewarding the patient, insightful investor who's looking for something a bit off the beaten path.
