I'm planning on holding onto what will likely be assigned shares of WAL next Friday ($25 strike) and TFC tomorrow ($30 strike). Both seem to be fairly sound banks that I think could turn into good swing trades.

I should add that I bought WAL at $32, lowered my cost basis to $30 before earnings by selling puts and sold at $37 last week.

But I should add the disclaimer I gave last week that I'm an idiot so take that FWIW.

This is a stupid list. It doesn't tell you anything that matters. What is the LTV? What type of RE? Where is it located? Average loan size? Current occupancy? Are they still under construction? Guaranteed? Etc.

How much capital does the bank have? % of uninsured deposits? Concentration on deposits? Credit quality? Etc.

Will these banks have challenges related to their RE? Sure. But if they used solid underwriting standards (which improved across the board following the banking crisis in 2007-2009), then the higher levels of capital required by regulators will help them survive.

For all the recent WAL and TFC buyers.....We going to hold in hopes that this is simply short-sellers trying to profit in the short term? WAL's quarterly report last week didn't look bad....Same for TFC. Most folks here thinking about holding for the long term and letting the storm pass?
I'm planning to add more o both of my positions after this weekend.

Stock market today: Live updates (cnbc.com)
Quote:

Stocks were set to rebound on Friday amid a big losing week as regional bank shares climbed off their lows and market-darling Apple reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average
gained 217 points, or 0.6%. S&P 500 futures
rose 0.8%, while Nasdaq-100 futures
added 075%.

The rebound for regional bank stocks was boosted by a note from JPMorgan, which upgraded Western Alliance, Zions Bancorp and Comerica to overweight. The firm said those three banks appear "substantially mispriced" in part due to short-selling activity. The SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) advanced 2.4%. PacWest which is down sharply this week on news it's considering strategic options that include a sale popped nearly 18.9%. Western Alliance also jumped more than 10%.
That's a big upgrade from JPM. They wouldn't be upgrading them if they wanted to get them for pennies on the dollar should the FDIC take them into receivership.

Agree. Great thread and thanks!

To add a little. Not bank related. Good notation by Elliott below.

The way the risk of this cycle gets stopped is by reducing the risk that short-selling speculators in a stock can cause the exact bank run that benefits them.

Gotta hope Wes Christian exposes what is going on in naked short selling in GTII and tickers. SEC needs a size 11 in the butt turning a blind eye to this manipulation. This should not be happening. Right now, I hope SAVA clinical trials come back with glowing results. I hope naked short sellers get handed what is due them, bankruptcy. Currently at 21.9 days to cover,...and that my friends would be a nice squeeze.

So that usually indicates a reversal, right? But what's the time frame for the trend we should at?

You can't hit the bottom and you'll never hit the top. After you're dead, it still goes higher. With that being said, if you're looking to pick up quick dollars today, no help to you. If you want some dollars next week, buying now is not a bad entry. It will run a little to Ex-Div (5/15). I'm thinking it will reach close to $116. After that, it's just a steady chugga-chugga upward move. ..... I'm still looking around for that pesky recession, have you found it?

I only need to make $233 today to meet that (overly ambitious) weekly goal I set. Set some alerts for potential entries later

$30K, do you have an opinion on MPW? I have nothing to offer other than a buddy says I need to be in it. Any feedback is appreciated. No holds barred.

higher lows yesterday (if you count premarket dip), big buy premarket today, and steady mostly buying this morning. Like Farmer said, June monthly calls should pay.

I need to look into this fundamentally. It doesn't look worthwhile technically.

SPY is getting a little top heavy on the day. I wouldn't be surprised to see this push down back to open around 408 to stay at the bottom of this trading zone
