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.
Trust me I know. I’ve worked in banking (Wells Fargo) for over 10 years. The situation in 2008 is much more different than it is now. The big 3 have reserves to withstand the harshest environment.

That’s the problem with SIV, 95% of the accounts were more than 250k. All of their long term investments (using account holders money) became trash once interest rates started going up quickly. Nobody wants to be the last fool to ask for their money in a bank run.
True but that's on them. I guess keeping extra money in the accounts was bribes for eventual loans.

Only 2.7% of them accounts can be saved by the feds. The rest they’ll probably get 250k but anything more its gone.
I mean if someone had a million or more and they get only 250K I guess its cool? :dead:
One regional bank is not an indicator of a national financial collapse.

And shyt, that’s those peoples problem if the funds are seized, but it sounds like the issue is with the bank itself. Until Monday rolls around it’s all just speculation.

Insured up to $250k? That’s any bank in the country. Smart people? Don’t keep more than $250k in one account, or keep your money in a bank account in the Bahamas or Switzerland.

I will also say, I believe these people can purchase 3rd party insurance for accounts that high, but I may be mistaken

Well looks like as of now 97% of them weren’t smart enough to do it.
We shall see Monday
