The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which analyst John Reeves and advisor David Meier discuss topics across the investing world.

Bank of America has struggled in recent years, but it's likely to remain a major force over the next 10 years or so. John and Dave disagree, however, about the quality of the company. Like Buffett, Dave feels that Bank of America is well-managed, and may surprise a few people. John has some serious concerns about its business model, and feels it faces some pretty serious headwinds in the near term.

The financial heavies, like Bank of America, are getting a lot of press these days. And much of it is negative. But there's one small bank that's flying under the radar. It has some of the best operational numbers you'll ever see. The Motley Fool featured it in its brand-new free report: "The Stocks Only the Smartest Investors Are Buying."
