The specter of last year’s challenges resurfaces, with shares of $NYCB plummeting and regional banks experiencing a downturn. Notably, the financial sector is gripped by worries of a derivatives implosion, adding complexity to an already precarious situation.

An alcoholic won’t have withdrawals if he keeps drinking.
Of course he’ll die of organ failure in a pile of his own waste…

I would provide a general warning to those that are invested in bank stocks, or into mutual funds that are heavily invested in bank stocks. Start your transfer to more tangible assets (commodities, land, etc.) now and avoid the rush.

If your 401k allows you to shift to different funds, look for funds that do not invest in financial stocks.

Just my 0.02
