The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which senior analyst Anand Chokkavelu discusses topics around the investing world.

The regional banking industry has been beaten down in recent months and years. Anand thinks there's opportunity in the sector but warns against the big red flag at Synovus.

Synovus is a regional bank to steer clear of. But if you're looking for one that has some of the best operational numbers I've (Anand here) ever seen. I wrote about it in our brand new free report: "The Stocks Only the Smartest Investors Are Buying." I invite you to take a free copy to find out the name of the bank I believe Warren Buffett would be interested in if he could still invest in small banks. Click here to access it now.

    How can you post a video like this and not explain where the company has used the tarp money?

    Just because they have 1 billion out in Tarp does not mean that they spent all of it.....It looks as though Mr Anand is trying to push the stocks he owns.....mmmmm motley fool....yea!, that name makes sense!!

    SNV is paying a Divy at $.01 cents SNV is going to make it as will Regions

    SNV is a good risk stock, BAC is profit since buying at $5 per share

    BP is cheap for oil as is HLX & HERO
