The bank was largely used by Californian tech companies for loans and payroll. You’re right, a normal person would be using a normal bank. And none of the normal banks are in trouble. This is an isolated issue that boils down to mismanagement and getting fukked by interest rates on bonds.
Yeah but if these companies can’t make payrolls then the normal banks might not yet theit mortgage payments or car payments so there will definitely be some aftershocks.

People already out here living paycheck to paycheck.

BoA went under in 2007/2008… needed a federal bail bout..

“On January 16, 2009, Bank of America received $20 billion and a guarantee of $118 billion in potential losses from the U.S. government through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). This was in addition to the $25 billion given to the bank in the fall of 2008 through TARP.”

And they have made sure that's not happening again anytime soon. They have enough reserves and whatnot to sustain a sizable bank run, along with a lot of oir main ones now; and if it gets to that point, we're basically fukked anyways.

Explain this to me in Coli nikka terms

These tech companies needed $ and borrowed from a bank that lends $ to tech companies and startups.

But the agreement with this bank is that whatever cash you bring in/revenue, you gotta put that shyt in THEIR bank.

They’ve been doing this for 40 years.

Now they’re lending out $ all willy nilly and the economy is trash. The bank needs to even out its balance sheet — show that they have the $ or assets to even be in fukkin business as a bank. And this bank needed/needs 2 fukkin billion and they ain’t got it :russ:

So the feds have officially crowned them as :flabbynsick: status. News of that is tanking their stock to a point where trading on it has been halted because it impacts the rest of the market — and folks are nervous. Who knows what other banks are flabby.

Now this bank still has some cash on hand and these same tech firms that have their savings there want their damn money by Monday like 50 Cent LOL. And the bank has one location in NY so some of these tech bros pulled up to get their $ because let’s just say everybody’s $ ain’t in there. So pull up first and get your $ before the shytshow really starts.

Short story short is SVB is looking for a life line and the big boys in banking are just watching like :patrice: and waiting to see what emerges since that stock is at crack prices.

Hopefully not, but these runs can spread. People are irrational. Bank stocks are getting murdered right now because everybody is wondering what’s under the kimono of other banks in light of interest rates.

breh doesn't realise the banks are solvent based on future income, credit worthiness and near-term access to credit markets to tide them over today.

in other words most banks are illiquid and/or insolvent today. hence why bank runs are so dangerous.

as for "systems to protect" :mjlol:breh missed 2008 when the systems failed and banks were directly bailed out / purchased (breaking EU law) and put on life support QE/discount window lending since then in a once in a lifetime possible move to stop people taking their money out.

breh thinks that in a high-inflationary scenario like we have now banks can print money like that again :mjlol:

In 2020, the Fed reduced Banks' reserve requirement to 0%, and hasn't raised it yet. Hopefully this causes the Fed to reinstate the old requirements. Its also a great way to reduce the money supply and slow inflation without raising interest rates further.

it's also a great way to tip banks into insolvency ...

I’m glad to see there’s someone in this thread that knows what they’re talking about.
