This morning, we got excellent full-year results from Banco Santander, the Spanish banking powerhouse with the stock that’s charged 142% over the past 12 months. A bank. We also learned that they’re buying Webster Financial. It’s a community bank based in Connecticut, a real good one. It’s all part of their plan to dominate the northeastern United States. I think this one’s on track to become one of the most profitable banks in the world, marching steadily towards their goal of 20% return on tangible equity by 2028. Wow.
