My value ETF (which has an incidental banking concentration) has tanked much more than my other equity ETFs, so I’ve rebalanced into it.
So yes!

I bought a tiny bit of credit suisse earlier.

Re: anyone buying bank stocks?
What percentage of your total investing portfolio have you put into each of these two recent bank investments?
When I was younger I had a lot of investments I wanted to make. But it seemed like I did not have enough investment money for them to produce anything substantial. Now that I am older it is the opposite. A lot of those investments in the light of my total investment money would be small -- therefore not much there to get excited about.

The Credit Suisse is like 1/1000. I will either add more nibbles over time or get rid of it.
The Berkshire is something I already had shares in, and that’s like 3% of pp+vp.

So if Credit Suisse doubled today the effect on your overall portfolio would be about a 0.1% increase?

Re: anyone buying bank stocks?
It’s small enough that I never think about that in terms of the overall. It’s just fun to sell things at a profit sometimes.

Thanks. Better understand your motivation. I do the same in other ways.

I see a share is now worth less than a dollar.

What was the share price at the time of your purchase?
Good thing hour purchase was less than 1/1,000th of your portfolio!
