Why did bank stocks suddenly slump while securities and insurance soared instead?

Actually, the drop in banks was expected. I’ve always emphasized the importance of non-bank financials—that is, financial sectors other than banks. Remember a few years ago? I repeatedly reminded everyone not to miss bank stocks below 3 yuan. And now? They’ve tripled in value and are still hitting new highs.

But why have bank stocks started to pull back recently?

Simply put, investing is all about cost-effectiveness. Bank stocks have already seen big gains, and their valuations aren’t cheap anymore, so naturally, capital is looking for new undervalued sectors. Coincidentally, our fund just rebalanced our portfolio in the past couple of days, trimming some of our bank holdings. Right after we sold, they dropped.

That’s how the market works—when everyone realizes a sector needs a breather, corrections often come quickly. As capital flows shift, non-bank sectors like securities and insurance naturally take the lead in the next rally.

Oh great, here comes the cost-performance argument again. I'm tired of hearing it. Why doesn't anyone talk about when the next "undervalued sector" will be filled up? --- It takes a few times of prices dropping right after you sell to finally believe it. --- Non-bank stocks taking off? Looks more like the prelude to retail investors getting fleeced. --- Bank stocks have tripled and people still think they're expensive. That appetite is something else. --- Funds are flowing so swiftly, yet my account is still standing still. --- Cost-performance, undervalued sectors, rotation... All sound like setups to fleece me. --- Prices drop right after I sell—such luck. Why can't I get lucky like that? --- Non-banks taking off? I'll wait and see. No need to be the last one holding the bag. --- Tripled and still saying valuations aren't cheap? Feels way overpriced to me now. --- Here comes the same old story about capital flows. What's next in the series?

Oh man, here we go again. The banks reap their profits and run after fleecing the retail investors. --- I've been bullish on non-bank financials taking off for a while, just waiting for the bag holders to catch on. --- Sold and it dropped right after—that's some incredible luck, haha. --- Calling it "cost performance" sounds nice, but it's really just funds rotating, taking turns to fleece investors. --- Wait, bought at 3 yuan and now it's tripled? How early did you have to get in for that? --- That's just how the market is—there's always someone who's the last to find out. --- Securities and insurance aren't a trap right now too, are they...? --- Funds seek undervalued sectors, we chase the funds, but chasing still means losing.

Ha, it's the cost-performance ratio talk again, I'm so tired of hearing it. Bank stocks have tripled and they're still considered expensive? That logic is wild. You say it'll drop after I sell? Yeah, right, I don't buy it. I missed out on the non-bank rally this time, got played again. If capital flows are so predictable, why didn't anyone tell us beforehand? So should I follow now or stay out?

Oh no, it's the same old trick of moving funds around again. Unbelievable. Banks really should step aside, non-bank institutions are truly superior. I saw this signal a long time ago, just waiting for securities and insurance to take over. Huh, why does it feel like I'm just following the crowd too? Whatever, as long as I'm making money, that's all that matters. Those still stubbornly holding onto banks need to wake up, the cost-performance ratio is really gone.

Bro, I already went all in on this round of non-bank rotation. Bank stocks' valuations really can't be sustained.

Sold too early, I guess—that's the joy of investing, haha.

I've been through all of this before... I was there during that $3 bottom-fishing wave too, but to be honest, the current valuation is a completely different story from back then. Rotating capital into new sectors may seem smart, but it's really just chasing hype—securities and insurance taking the baton? Heh, let's wait and see what happens next. History always repeats itself.
