NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I was practically all alone on March 18 when I gave you five reasons to steer clear of bank stocks, but it turns out heeding that advice would not have been such a bad idea.
The SPDR KBW Bank ETF (NYSE:
KBE), which counts Citigroup (NYSE:
C), Bank of America (NYSE:
BAC), Wells Fargo (NYSE:
WFC) JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:
JPM) and US Bancorp (NYSE:
USB) as its top five holdings, was at $26.01 when I wrote my story.
While it would hit a high of $29.22 on April 21, it touched a recent low at $23.33 Tuesday. Two reasons I highlighted, "Regulatory Threats Resurface" and "European Contagion," look especially smart. So give me an A for insight and a C+ for timing.
