Bank Stocks?

Here are some stocks that look cheap in the financial realm:

1) New York Community Bank- It has been a laggard even when the markets were booming.

2) eTrade- They make money in their brokerage and their mortgage related business may stabilize as judged by the bond market. I remember shorting it at 14-15 so can it retrace to $7?

3) Lazard- Investment bank that actually doesn't trade on its own account. Don't understand why the Price to Book is so high unless there is something I'm not seeing.

4) Farmer Mac- Government sponsored bank concerning the farming community.
