Trading Review: March 2023
Silvergate, SVB, Signature, Credit Suisse. What do these banks have in common?
Answer: All of them have the letter 'S' in their names.
March 2023: Prices of bank shares 's'ank and presented a buying opportunity. With the central banks stepping in to calm the markets, I had expected the prices of the bigger banks to stabilise and hopefully recover. Being more conservative, I opted to invest in $Bank of America(BAC.US$ (a bigger bank without the letter 'S' in its name), instead of the more popular $First Republic Bank(FRC.US$, (I think I see the letter 's' here).
However, banks are not out of the woods yet. Recession fears still linger and if realised, the downturn may wreak havoc on a still fragile banking system.
In hindsight, I may have opened my positions too early. My due diligence had led me to believe that BAC was fairly valued and poised for a rebound. Unfortunately, the market chose to disagree with me. Naughty market.
If given a chance to remake my decisions again, would I have done things differently? Probably not, because my due diligence will still prompt me to buy $Bank of America(BAC.US$; I am just following the strategy I have developed for myself.
Moving forward, I intend to hold the shares until it is time to sell, meaning when the share price recovers (hopefully), or when my stop-loss is activated (hopefully not). We shall see what happens - when the time comes.

Pepperoni Pete : It could have been fair value but still bleed. We in the recession. Getting my surfboard out. Looking for waves.
MoogooroolooOP Pepperoni Pete: Agreed. Hope you catch a good wave. I'm looking to catch one too.
104152658 : Sometimes, patience is required. I'm in deep with $Bank of America (BAC.US)$ as well. i believe you and I arrived at the same conclusions after our due diligence.
Imo it still stands that the stock is fairly valued. This recession fear is what it is - a recession fear. which may change any moment. The market cannot decide if weak economic data or lower/no interest rate hikes are better.
Nonetheless BAC earnings are out 18 April. It's something we can look forward to.
