Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Briton Ryle]

  Banco Santander (SAN) isn't just a European bank. In its most recent quarterly earnings report, Spain accounted for just 15% of profits. And the bank has only 20% of its assets in Spain.

• [By Dan Burrows]

  Getting Smaller: A big knock on Citigroup is that it’s too big to manage. In response, the bank has been slimming down, shedding business and selling assets over the last several years. That’s fine for now, but not for the long run if Citi hopes to compete with sprawling domestic giants like JPMorgan Chase, as well as foreign powerhouses like Banco Santander (SAN).

• [By Sean Williams]

  For investors with more of a penchant for risk who are willing to bet against individual companies, they might con! sider angling a short sale against a large EU banking giant such as Banco Santander (NYSE: SAN  ) or focus on a Greece-based bank like the National Bank of Greece (NYSE: NBG  ) .
