After the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank NASDAQ: SIVB a few months ago, regional and larger banks across the United States saw their stocks decline as a systematic reaction to the news.

Morgan Stanley's diversified business model and growth plans make it an attractive investment, despite the volatility of regional banks.

It aims to reach $10 trillion in total client assets, with wealth management contributing around $8 trillion. Given the bigger picture, I remain neutral on MS stock and believe in buying MS shares on potential weakness down the road.
