Pulaski Fest
Slide Show Pict

Pulaski County held its' annual Pulaski Fest on Saturday in Jackson Park. Once the fog lifted and the sun began to shine, people from all over the community came into the free event that offered crafts, food, music, rides, activities for kids, and other vendors. Just across the railroad tracks, a sidewalk sale took place and across the street the Pulaski Farmer’s Market was happening. The convergence of all of these events allowed festival attendees to peruse assorted items for sale.

Stock Analyst Names National Bankshares "Top Pick"
(BLACKSBURG, VA) National Bankshares, Inc., a community bank holding company with headquarters in Blacksburg, Virginia, was featured in the October edition of BB&T Capital Markets Portfolio Managers Monthly. Financial services stock analyst Cary Morris named National Bankshares as the month's top pick and he continued his "buy" recommendation for the company's stock. Discussing the current investment environment for banks, Morris said, "Interesting to us, however, are some small-cap community banks in our coverage universe that continue to perform well in the midst of this banking crisis. Typically these bank holding companies operate in relative obscurity, in markets that were not part of the real estate bubbles that occurred in some other U.S. markets, and in geographic regions that have demonstrated slower or modest growth." Morris went on to say, "At present, we would suggest that investors review our latest research on National Bankshares." Morris said that the western Virginia bank continues to show steady progress and that its stock is attractively valued. He noted, "We maintain that investors tend to overlook the company due to its modestly growing markets without reviewing its operational and profitability metrics. For Q2 '08, National Bankshares had an ROA of 1.55% (versus the peer group's 0.58%) and an ROE of 12.81% (versus the peer group's 6.05%) while maintaining an above-peer group equity-to-assets ratio of 12.0%."
