The $250K limit for people, I agree. If you exceed that, open an account at another bank. Businesses are different. They can’t operate limiting accounts to $250k.

Not talking about the bailout, just the limits.

Yes, we agree here... people knew the risks... the businesses we can argue didn't... but what laws or insurance is there to protect businesses? Is it just the "supposed" good faith of the government backing the bank up... sadly that sounds like a can't fail at all costs scenario which is really bad... i could see any major corporation making the same argument tomorrow if tons of folks 401k's are tied up etc... also, saving a bank while at the same time raising interest rates to increase unemployment is wild... this situation is so screwed i don't even know where to start

how would this even work? who pays for this? even higher interest rates? lol... article makes it sound like FDIC backstop... which then means what... govt bailout

[kscarrol]

Yes, no real details. Reads like they won't really help SVB but provide funds to keep the issues isolated at SVB. Don't want a bunch of VC's going under because they have funds at SVB.

The irony of headlines…

The fed is going to have to pause the interest rate hikes. If they continue doing what they're doing they will go down a very dangerous path IMO and we will see more blood.

If the Fed comes out tomorrow and states no more hikes thru the end of the year, that will do wonders.

Yellen has no power whatsoever.

Capitalism, which is almost what we have, does not afford bailing out banks. But we live in a political world, not a pure capitalism

I'm against bail outs at every level.

💯 percent agree. This means during COVID, for students, for banks, for SBF, SVB. But at a certain point you believe that the lack of a bailout is worse than the bailout. Idk where that line is, but it certainly ain’t at SVB

[ASAP]

it is a bailout, they are just creatively spinning it to prevent mass hysteria... which is why Yellen stepped out and made that confident statement... yet somehow provided 0 details...

"An additional step would be a “general banking facility” from the Federal Reserve that would support other financials with direct exposure to SVB so they wouldn’t have to materially change their business or take steep losses."

That is the shadiest paragraph I've read in a long time...

[ASAP]

sounds like allowing access to discount window to ease credit lol... so we raised rates and now we are going to provide more liquidity... we legit live in a simulation

They’re also going to have to stop bond sales for a bit, they took too much liquidity out of the banking system, too fast. Many small and regional banks likely have a similar problem (SVB was worse for its own, unique reasons). Also the FED may have to acknowledge that its anti-inflation program is a failure.

Just heard from a former coworker that is wrapped up in this mess. His job is at risk. The shoe has dropped. I expect some government intervention at this point.

[kscarrol]

Same Fed/FDIC action will cover Signature as well. Not familiar with Signature…

[NickyC]

Yep, Signature is #2.

It's ok though, futures are up. Nothing to see here. The punchbowl is about to filled again, the rich will suck this country dry until there's a complete collapse and utter chaos.

At times such as these, I begin to look around and wonder what the really big story is, and why our attention is being pulled to this.....

If you have money in a bank that accesses this "discount window", immediately remove all money from said bank as quickly as you can.

Gotta laugh at all the ponzi scheme shitcoins spiking again on the news. They know the rate hikes are done, reductions are coming, and it will be QE forever. This was all so obvious once the Fed starting hiking rates, it was only a (short) amount of time before something big broke. Just what the shitcoin ponzis needed for the next wave of suckers.

Wasn't it....four days ago Powell was talking about additional rate hikes?!?!

Absolute clownworld shitshow with terrible consequences for the vast majority of us.

(the older I get, the more I believe in the simulation theory btw)

The link I just posted has the joint release of the FED, Treasury and FDIC. Clearly they were worried about contagion as many banks have similar balance sheet issues, plus several banks no doubt had deposits at SVB and Sig. If their deposits are suddenly worthless or unavailable, they have liquidity problems, and so it all begins to unwind.

Whether or not you like bailouts, or deposit backstops, they had to act or we’d see a collapse of the banking system.

One outcome of this will be further concentration of banks in the US into a few, very large institutions. I expect a few forced mergers to be announced within the week.
