Many of those companies that did jump ship did so on the advice of their VC backers, who got spooked by some things that Peter Thiel (one of the most famous and successful VCs) said about SVB earlier in the week. VCs are herd animals and spook easily, and of course their clients listen very closely to them (or else), so when one of them panicked and ran, they all did. Some companies were left holding the (empty) bag, as it were, and did not get their money out before the FDIC swooped in and shut SVB down. Several were pretty big firms. Roku, for example, announced today that 28% of their cash, about $500M, was in SVB. (Stock fell 5% on the news. Ouch!) The small companies that got locked out are likely to be in trouble, since many had all of their operating capital in that one bank. I personally know somebody who was told that his company is unlikely to be able to make their payroll next week because they don't have access to their funds at SVB. There will likely be a lot of stories along those lines, and I expect we'll see some companies fold as a result of this, too. Depositors will likely get their money, eventually, but that could be painful for a lot of them. Shareholders and bond holders are likely wiped out. (SVB traded at $300 or so recently. OUCH!) And, while SVB was a very unique institution, it'll be interesting to see if anybody else catches this "corporate covid". The way some of the bank stocks went today (including Schwab) clearly there are some that think they will. Everyone keeps saying that this isn't 2008 and the banks are much stronger thanks to Dodd-Frank. I guess we'll see soon. In the meantime, collecting 4% on those 2-years seems like a good way to ride this one out. |

Toughest investing period since 2008...
I am a long term bull, but it would be nice if the market did some of the work for us! |

Made my 1st ever, as a retail investor, into the stock market, 2 years ago after buying GME and AMC. Millions of us have watched the manipulation by market makers, hedge funds, shadiness by the CEO and constant looking away by the SEC and other agencies that are suppose to watch out for us. Now we are looking at a vote on a reverse split, loosing 90% of our shares and thus helping out the hedge funds which have amassed possibly billions of synthetic shares, by the reverse split. I could not sell if I wanted to because of the price of the stocks now and the money I would loose. Hopefully I can at least, at some point, get out and break even but I am not holding my breath.

More on the topic at hand, this morning I read that USDC, a so-called stable coin (speaking of scams), broke their $1 USD peg and is trading around $0.87, in large part because they announced that a substantial portion of the funds they rely on to maintain that peg (~ $3.3 Billion) is locked up in SVB's vaults (so to speak). I wouldn't be surprised to see a bum rush for the door in USDC over the weekend. Since crypto trades 24x7 this one may evaporate before the sun rises Monday. BTC, which everyone had been praising for demonstrating the "stability" of the crypto space and had recently been trading at about $25k, dropped to $20k yesterday. Down 20% over the span of a couple of weeks doesn't look so stable to me. Full disclosure, I do own BTC and ETH - because it's cryto, ya gotta have some, 'cuz who knows? - but it's a very small amount of my portfolio. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the less-than-fully-transparent crypto and private banking worlds over the next weeks. |

The bailout will be for the banks, including silicon valley bank. These banks support our tech industry which is too big to fail.

my understanding is that SVB overall was a relatively conservative institution not really doing anything wrong... timing just worked out REALLY poorly for them... now imagine a bank that isn't too responsible

it's bad management, but then it's all JPow doing and SVB executives bad risk management. it's not like SBF reckless action. SVB bought long term bond that had low interests. Fed keeps rising interests rate and they didn't sell early to cut loss, then it came back as liquidity issue.
always sell early to cut loss than bag holding later |

All going according to plan. The temporary raising of interest rates was always a complete joke, this is a failing economy backed by a dying dollar, with a soon to be 50 trillion in debt within the next 10 years. The banks were failing in early 2020 after 12 years of QE and theft from the American taxpayer, so they developed the Convid scam to syphon what was left of the middle/lower classes to keep the party going for the rich just a few more years. Convid was the most massive transfer of wealth to the rich in the history of mankind, and to this day so few people still see it for what it really was. While they tried to get us to hate one another for not following ridiculous lock down measures, or wearing a face diaper, or taking a worthless MNRA clot shot, they worked silently in the back to steal from us all. There is no Republican vs. Democrat, there is only the rich vs. the poor. The same as it's always been.
This is a forced crisis, just as in 2008 when the Fed didn't bail out Lehman/Bear in order to rape the middle class/poor through QE. The Fed is the banks, the banks are the Fed, it's a revolving door where they enrich themselves and systematically destroy everyone else. The ultimate product now is an entire generation of young Americans with $100k in student loan debt, no chance of ever owning a home, forced to pay $2000 a month in rent for a one bedroom apartment, and little to no opportunity to advance as the generation before them is forced to work well past average retirement age due to massive Fed caused inflation. The bail out is coming, that wicked bitch Yellen can talk about saving depositors and no bailouts this morning all she wants, but anyone with half a brain knows where this is going. More printed fake money, more shafting of the middle and lower classes, more inflation, and an increasing pace towards a system where there is no middle class and power/money are in the hands of a very few (in other words, how it has been for nearly all of human history). We will own nothing and we will love it. |

Well I am learning, learning not to listen to my son. Lol Bought a 32' older Carver boat two years ago, because I had a couple of dollars, he was going to share cost w/me, never came up w/money, everyone was afraid to pilot the big girl, luckily sold it last fall, just before winter storage cost, lost some money but it could have been a lot worse. I will continue to hold my GME/AMC, don't have any choice, and probably bail when I get close to even or it runs up, I think I know which will happen first. LOL
