Everybody knows that banks have been under a world of hurt given the current ultra-low interest rate environment.  Pull up a chart of any bank stock and the chart is the same; it starts at the upper left and ends at the lower right.  The S&P 500 Bank Index looks the same, and from its high last year, it’s down 20%.
