Back in spring 2023 when regional banks were collapsing left and right, I called something most people thought was crazy at the time—that the banking system would ultimately hold up fine. Turns out that bet paid off. Bank stocks have been on a tear and recently hit fresh all-time highs.

Here's the thing though: panic narratives get eyeballs. Doom sells. But honest market analysis? That's what I'm putting down, whether it trends or not.

The takeaway isn't about being right. It's about looking at the actual data instead of riding whatever emotional wave dominates social feeds. When everyone's screaming crisis, that's often when the real picture looks totally different.
