RE: Quite the battle this amI agree with you Rehsifylf - these steep declines (not just BNK) - are counter to the fundamentals.
And yes it is scare mongering/manipulation - calculated to unseat the small and medium sized retail investors from his/her holdings.
Thank god I've been investing long enough to know in the long run <FUNDAMENTALS ALWAYS WIN..
Thank god also that I sit with lots of cash.
Bottom line is that I will view the current debacle as a second bite of the cherry to top up my positions in stocks (like BNK) - where I know from thorough DD the fundamentals to be sound.
