Bank stocks have gone nowhere this year. But with interest rates likely to increase going forward, bank stocks have a good chance at returning to growth next year.

BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT) is my favorite regional bank stock to buy right now. BB&T is a slow-and-steady bank that generates steady profits each year, and has a long history of paying dividends.

Even during the financial crisis, when many big banks cut or suspended dividends altogether, BB&T kept on chugging along.
