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.

David is very bullish on Bank of America, since he believes it's in the early stages of its turnaround. He views the bank returning to a more traditional banking model, which will serve it very well going forward. And if it continues to make improvements, its return on equity should increase along with its share price.

The financial heavies 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."
