StoneCastle Financial Corp. (BANX) has been one of our core holdings since the inception of our Hidden Dividend Stocks Plus service. Like many of the investment vehicles you'll find in our articles, BANX has an attractive yield but flies under the radar. It's a CEF covering a unique niche - investing primarily in US community banks, long considered the safest sub-sector of the US banking system, (since 1934, the average annual community bank failure rate was about 0.38%).
