Meanwhile, American River Bankshares, parent company of American River Bank, had an entirely different experience with an East Coast investor.
During American River’s first quarter conference call last month, Henchy Enden, a bank analyst with MFP Investors LLC of New York, told the bank its trends were “not going in the right direction in any line item.”
The principal and founder of MFP, Michael Price, owns nearly 2.8 percent of the outstanding shares of American River.
Enden called for the bank to sell itself rather than continue to go on its present course.

FD: I do not own shares of AMRB at this time.
However I like the bank...it's financially very healthy and Mr. Market has it On Sale priced at just 83% of BV. Banks of this size and financial strength are good acquisition targets in Calif...many of those deals have captured 1.5 ~ 2 X Book Value.
