most of your larger banks like Bof A, Citi Wells Fargo arent going anywhere in the near future. hey are all extremely low right now and they are stuggling a little, but if you are only looking at the long term then you can get stocks that will be 2x-5x their current price in the next 3 years. Also, you can re-invest any dividends you get from those stocks into more shares of them.
