Thank you, I was really concerned because I though so many were looking at recent history and not the big picture. The money lost there was truly sad to see, the main reason I posted was that too many were viewing the bank stocks as income machines. Unfortunately, I do not think I changed very many minds.

I was reading the Bank Stocks thread - fascinating and sad seeing how many were so sure that banks were a good place to put money back then in 2007. You knew differently & called it correctly. Impressive.
