then..
also naturally, there are stablecoins that got fucked..
also
this little nugget
I mean how did these fucking idiots, shit on dinosaurs for their practices, only for them to go and put all their fucking money in a shitty "tech bank" lmao
I am sorry but this looks like its spreading, UK and China SVB already causing problems, monday will not be fun..
To be fair it s the classic sillicon valley play book laugh at dinosaurs and regulators then when shit hits the fan they all come crying...
Again i can only repeat how the fuck bailing out a bad bank will help anybody is beyond me, even more so a Sillicon valley bad bank...
These fucken VCs have been throwing money at their pofo companies at valuations with huge cash burns let the VCs worry about providing bridge liquidity...
Also how many would actually have to close within the next week if they only get the 250k on monday? I doubt it would be too many....
Ofcourse there is fear and ofcourse theres gonna be a fallout but not sure it s to the degree that people wanna believe...
Again i dont see how the state(Fdic) cannot make a liquidity pool specially for companies where they get access to lets say 50 to 75% of their deposits with SVB... This would mean they all should have ample liquidity to make it through the next 3 months unless they were mismanaged from the get go. Then once this is done you work out how much of the rest of the deposits you can recover and you do this over the next ay 6 months. Yes companies will lose some of their funding but it wont force them to close up shop. The state wont have to wast to much tax payer money and VCs will have to take a couple of courses in risk mgm moving forward.
I just really dont see the big fucken problem if you can avoid a bank run at other banks this is not such a big problem. Yes stocks will suffer but fuck some of the suggestions from bail out to stop raising rates are just terrible ideas imho I mean morale hazard much?
Also yellen came out and said there wont be a bailout... As she explained and i m with her on this we did the new banking regulation after 08 exactly for this so that we dont have to bail em out if they are grossly mismanaged. Btw funny how trumps partial reversal of dodd frank only made this shit possible... Which btw SVB was lobbying heavily for.
Again there will be spread and stocks will suffer but if done right this does not amount to a situation where a bailout or a shift in fed policy is necessary. Yes it will be ugly but unless the VC bros manage to orchestrate a nation wider bank run this can and will be handled with not much harm to the general economy.
I just really hope that the VC bros have to take part of the losses, i d hate for them to make fun of regulations, then have most of their clients put all their money with a bank with no proper risk mgm, then cause the fucken bankrun at SVB then go on to stoke fear about nation wide bank runs and then get bailed out from the mess they created without loosing a cent. That shit would piss me off beyond believe.
Also like bill akmann out here lobying for a bailout while insisting 98% of the funds can be recovered. then why the fuck would they need a bailout... Just provide a liquidity facility to breach gap from now till recovery.
Again not saying this aint gonna be ugly and markets aint gonna suffer but this shit aint systematic unless other bank runs happen and i s nothing compared to the GFC.
Like as a primer when the hypo real estate bank went bust in germany 15 years ago merkel came out with a spoken guarantee that all savings would be save in order to stop a bank run. Which is exactly what happened. And solved a very similar crisis. Note there never was a guarantee.... It was just merkel and here ministers saying this in front of a camera which btw was enough to prevent a fucken bank run.
