They want government to stay out of everything until a bank fails, and they start demanding that they all be bailed out. **** them all.

Yup. Privatize profit, socialize loss. It’s how it works.

BofA deez nuts65,000 startup companies had their deposits in SVB. 96% of their accounts are too large for full FDIC coverage. That number at BofA is 38%. Everything about their risk management and diversification is a joke.Also sounds like a bunch of startups had all their deposits in just this bank? Like Roku might be screwed or something.
Another normal thing that smart companies do is use different banks to ensure their deposits are all fdic insured. This is all just lazy **** because all these companies are run by tech guys that think they’re smarter than everyone and don’t have to do things that actual smart companies do.

And then started the run on the bank by advising all his clients and other HF's to withdraw their funds. How much you want to bet that he went short on the stock before doing so?Peter Thiel pulled his money out days before the collapse

I wonder what the fine line is. Like, if I'm CFO with stock options, you're a moron if you go down with the ship right? But if you sell before it looks super shady.

That’s a different scenario than shorting the stock, though.

https://www.fdic.gov/news/speeches/2023/spmar0623.htmlThe current interest rate environment has had dramatic effects on the profitability and risk profile of banks’ funding and investment strategies. First, as a result of the higher interest rates, longer term maturity assets acquired by banks when interest rates were lower are now worth less than their face values. The result is that most banks have some amount of unrealized losses on securities. The total of these unrealized losses, including securities that are available for sale or held to maturity, was about $620 billion at yearend 2022.

Meatball Ron is blaming the bank collapse on wokeness:
https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/silico ... _lead_pos2Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis,
who is expected to enter the 2024 GOP nomination race later this year, suggested the bank’s collapse was related to the institution being distracted by diversity, equity and inclusion goals. He often argues such efforts go too far.
“This bank, they’re so concerned with DEI and politics and all kinds of stuff, I think that really diverted from them focusing on their core mission,” he said Sunday on Fox News.

This was so obviously an orchestrated hit job by Theil, Ackman, etc.Pershing Square Capital boss Bill Ackman and tech billionaire Peter Thiel are among the investors backing an upstart fund that’s aiming to lead a movement against politically influenced “stakeholder capitalism.”
Dubbed Strive Asset Management, the fund was founded by pharmaceutical investor Vivek Ramaswamy – who also authored a best-selling book called “Woke, Inc.” that published last year.
Vanguard, Blackrock and State Street just happen to be the 3 largest shareholders in SIVB...Ramaswamy said his firm will attempt to directly compete with asset management giants such as BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street.
“The Big 3 asset managers have fueled this polarizing new trend in corporate America, and that’s why we’re going to compete with them head-on to refocus American companies on the shared pursuit of excellence over politics,” Ramaswamy added.
