	Commerce Bancorp done wrong by WSJ column - MSN Money (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Commerce Bancorp (CBH, news, msgs) shares fell 7% July 5, shedding about $400 million in market value, in response to a highly negative column by Jesse Eisinger in the Wall Street Journal.
		The column also pointed out that Commerce's deposit growth was 29.7% in 2002, presumably so that readers could see a trend from 29.7% in 2002, to 20.3% in 2005, to 18% in the first quarter of 2006.
		By the way, underlying my $100 target for Commerce in 2010 is a gradual slowing of total deposit growth to 19% (same-store growth of 15% plus deposits from new branches), a 10% expansion in the shares outstanding and a NIM of 4.1%.
