You could do worse than invest in bank stocks while beaten well down, collect dividends, not look at the market for a year or two and just do something completely different. Downside from here is marginal, and they will bounce back eventually, once the nasties that were revealed in the RC have been forgotten, And did I mention the fines and the remediation costs, need to be sorted and forgotten also? Better make that two or three years.
