In this episode of Plugged In, Al Dominick is joined in the studio by Anton Schutz, an experienced bank stock investor and founder of Mendon Venture Partners, a venture capital firm focused on early- to mid-stage technology companies. The two debate when bank M&A might pick up, the need to reduce expenses — to reinvest in technology opportunities — and the drive for deposits, deposits, deposits. As a bonus, they highlight a great California vineyard doing something special to honor victims and survivors of 9/11.
