Buy Oakland Bank. Lose Fortune. Get Bought By Someone Bigger. Repeat.

If the company overextends itself on the West Coast, it might become a prime target for a Wells Fargo takeover. The cost of eating an Oakland bank might lead to getting devoured yourself? Stop whatever you’re doing and think about the irony.
