House Masters: Tom and Verena Conley are, for lack of a better term, baller. Though no longer for credit, Tom still offers his immensely popular Wine Seminar every spring. He’s also a regular staple of Stein Clubs, where his conversation vacillates between sophisticated chatter about fine wine and French films to impassioned rants on his fierce, if somewhat contradictory allegiances to the Boston Red Sox and New York Giants.

FlyBy does happen to be the #1 fan of LevSPN though...
...risk is, you have a nationalized bank that is treated differently by depositors and borrowers because it is owned by the government," says FBR's Stein. "But in the past, that risk has been shown to be manageable...
