BIWS has a good course on FIG (even their free sample materials are quite handy). If you cover banks, I would also recommend reading through Basel 3 or whatever capital/liquidity regulation applies in the US. It's tedious but will give you a good understanding of the environment in which banks do business.

Also, M&I covers some of the basics which you can referrence from investopedia. Believe there was also a seriese on here (WSO), regarding FIG analysis, but can't seem to find it (perhaps you can with a little searching).

EDIT: Just found it; //www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/evaluating-commercial-banks-earnings-par…

Part one is linked in the write up.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
 

If you can afford it I would strongly advise you to get a FIG modeling course. Banks model very diferently and have different drivers than any other type of company, and it is tough to pick up on the fly

At a bare minimum understand Regulatory capital requirement, Tier 1 vs Tier 2, risk weighting of assets, interest rate spreads, Federal funds, charge off allowances, and what BASEL/ Dodd Frank are.
