Nah, I'm a retail piker, but I am thinking of running it up to like 10% of my modest TNW. Although, I wouldn't be shocked if they make a bid for someone and the stock craters right after I fill up.
IMO, they just need a little Regan revolution. Stuff can change. The wall fell.
I agree the ZIRP hurt them more. The common currency doesn't make a ton of sense. NEXIT would be a step.
During 2023 the below ones. Only couple of shares of First Citizens because it exploded and left me behind. I currently hold 0 shares of BAC. I also own a few shares of TD in an account that I have established for my son and a few WFC and BAC preferred shares in accounts for older relatives.
Just did my 2024 end of year FF update blog post. Looks like ~22% for 2023 and a 12.85% 5 year CAGR/XIRR. Losing to the evil SPY on both counts, but doing pretty ok against other highly relevant and not at all cherry picked benchmarks.
I was interested to observe the dispersion in returns among the banks in my portfolio.
I am beginning to understand why the psychology/ institutional incentives have historically (ok N = like 5) led to premature cutting and declarations of victory. Not drawing a conclusion that will happen this time, just that I think I see why that would be the most likely path. Seems you kind of need that real crisis/boogie man to get the rope to do the thing properly. I suppose it all kinds of feed back into the anchoring of the crowd which is imop best explanation for time series momentum/trends.
