Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Based on your previous views “ US regional banks as more of a gamble than an investment at this time” I was looking into the space and of the top ten holdings if each etf and was perplexed that there was no overlap of their selections? Needless to say if you had to create your own etf in this space what would be your top holding and why? Thank you.

Q: When the initial shock at SVB happened, I traded First Republic shares and made enough profits to buy a long position when the shares went into the 12's. I don't believe that the US Govt. will allow these "small" banks to fail. Ex: FRC has over 7000 employees.
Are there any other US "small" banks that you screen that have been hammered but have a good prospect of surviving and flourishing? I have a very high risk tolerance.
Thank you Gordo
