Världens viktigaste (?) bank SVB på fallrepet - förintar världsekonomin för gott?

Det finns så mycket av det. Och det behöver väl putsas ibland?

Lite som gamla kaffeserviser, punchglas o dyl. Kanonfin kvalitet, men inget värt. Det finns i överdrivna mängder när boomers lägger näsan i vädret.

Citat: " The gov’t has about 48 hours to fix a-soon-to-be-irreversible mistake. By allowing
@SVB_Financial
to fail without protecting all depositors, the world has woken up to what an uninsured deposit is — an unsecured illiquid claim on a failed bank. Absent
@jpmorgan

@citi
or
@BankofAmerica
acquiring SVB before the open on Monday, a prospect I believe to be unlikely, or the gov’t guaranteeing all of SVB’s deposits, the giant sucking sound you will hear will be the withdrawal of substantially all uninsured deposits from all but the ‘systemically important banks’ (SIBs). These funds will be transferred to the SIBs, US Treasury (UST) money market funds and short-term UST. There is already pressure to transfer cash to short-term UST and UST money market accounts due to the substantially higher yields available on risk-free UST vs. bank deposits. These withdrawals will drain liquidity from community, regional and other banks and begin the destruction of these important institutions. The increased demand for short-term UST will drive short rates lower complicating the
@federalreserve
’s efforts to raise rates to slow the economy. Already thousands of the fastest growing, most innovative venture-backed companies in the U.S. will begin to fail to make payroll next week. Had the gov’t stepped in on Friday to guarantee SVB’s deposits (in exchange for penny warrants which would have wiped out the substantial majority of its equity value) this could have been avoided and SVB’s 40-year franchise value could have been preserved and transferred to a new owner in exchange for an equity injection. We would have been open to participating. This approach would have minimized the risk of any gov’t losses, and created the potential for substantial profits from the rescue. Instead, I think it is now unlikely any buyer will emerge to acquire the failed bank. The gov’t’s approach has guaranteed that more risk will be concentrated in the SIBs at the expense of other banks, which itself creates more systemic risk. For those who make the case that depositors be damned as it would create moral hazard to save them, consider the feasibility of a world where each depositor must do their own credit assessment of the bank they choose to bank with. I am a pretty sophisticated financial analyst and I find most banks to be a black box despite the 1,000s of pages of
@SECGov
filings available on each bank. SVB’s senior management made a basic mistake. They invested short-term deposits in longer-term, fixed-rate assets. Thereafter short-term rates went up and a bank run ensued. Senior management screwed up and they should lose their jobs. The
@FDICgov
and OCC also screwed up. It is their job to monitor our banking system for risk and SVB should have been high on their watch list with more than $200B of assets and $170B of deposits from business borrowers in effectively the same industry. The FDIC’s and OCC’s failure to do their jobs should not be allowed to cause the destruction of 1,000s of our nation’s highest potential and highest growth businesses (and the resulting losses of 10s of 1,000s of jobs for some of our most talented younger generation) while also permanently impairing our community and regional banks’ access to low-cost deposits. This administration is particularly opposed to concentrations of power. Ironically, its approach to SVB’s failure guarantees duopolistic banking risk concentration in a handful of SIBs. My back-of-the envelope review of SVB’s balance sheet suggests that even in a liquidation, depositors should eventually get back about 98% of their deposits, but eventually is too long when you have payroll to meet next week. So even without assigning any franchise value to SVB, the cost of a gov’t guarantee of SVB deposits would be minimal. On the other hand, the unintended consequences of the gov’t’s failure to guarantee SVB deposits are vast and profound and need to be considered and addressed before Monday.

Bitcoin ter sig ju ännu mer lukrativt med tanke på att det ej finns mellanhänder.

Är det dags för bankirerna att kräva staters ekonomiska hjälp nu igen medan de själva gömmer undan sina pengar precis som det var för några år sedan?

Exakt ... jag har en knökfull IKEA-bag, en såndär blå i presenningsmaterial. silvershotglas, ostknivsset och allt annat sånt där som farsan en gång fick från sina föräldrar som nu blivit mitt ansvar. Jag har inte orkat släpa skiten till bilen för att försöka sälja det till nån antikhandlare... haft funderinger på att göra en tradera av allt som bulk ... den säcken väger nog uppåt 40 kilo och jag orkar inte med besväret så den får ligga kvar på vinden ett tag till

fan vet?

Det är ju mellanhand som en bank.

Bitcoin i sig är ju förvarat cold storage på sticka.

Abu Dhabi to the rescue.

3kr/g och du orkar inte trots över 100 papp. I call BS.

Det finns heller inga pengar att ersätta kunderna med ifall det blir en domino-effekt där ett flertal banker kollapsar.

FDIC har bara tillgångar på $125 miljarder dollar. Det totala beloppet i insättningar som täcks av deras försäkring är $14,5 biljoner dollar. De kan alltså bara betala ut 0,82% av det totala belopp som försäkras genom dem.

Elon Musk. Han lurar nog FED till att ta notan. När de sålt av obligationerna så får FED ta förlusten.

En bank till vrakpris. Kan inte bli bättre.
