As if SVB Financial wasn't enough of a lesson for do-it-yourself investors that bank stocks are a terrible idea, the New York Community Bancorp (NYSE: NYCB ) debacle is a second reminder in the past year that all but the savviest investors avoid bank stocks.  Unlike most stocks, banks have a completely different set of financial statements from non-financial companies.

I'm kicking KBE "off the island," which is my 100 ETF watchlist. Regional bank stocks have rallied after a crushing last March, but there's too much risk of a second shoe dropping here.
