Bank Stocks

Bank stocks are companies that operate checking and savings deposits and make loans. Referred to as financial intermediaries, banks are the middlemen between account-holding depositors and loan-seeking businesses and individuals. A favorite among buy-and-hold investors like Warren Buffett, banks serve an important function in regulating the money supply of the country and are thus viewed as a relatively future-proof industry.
