There's a bank that the FDIC closed today, 85% of the deposits are uninsured and it's worth over $200 billion (2nd largest bank failure, behind WaMu in 2008). Contagion is spreading to several other banks with stocks dropping 50%.

I am pretty sure this thread was referring to Silicon Valley Bank.

This afternoon they were shut down by the Feds.

I keep misinterpreting this line - "The FDIC said in the announcement that insured depositors will have access to their deposits no later than Monday morning."
So there will be a bank run on Monday until they run out of cash then they'll lock the doors again?

Or the doors will reopen under FDIC management and they'll lock the doors when the FDIC runs out of money before 12 pm?

Insured depositors are those who had $250,000 or less in an account. If they had more than that, they get a voucher for some of the proceeds when assets are sold. These seem to be referred to as the 'uninsured'

The insured will get their money Monday, or leave it in the bank knowing it's FDIC insured ... at a different bank now

Usually,when the FDIC seizes a bank, the FDIC seizes on a Friday, finds another bank to buy the seized bank over the weekend, and reopens on Monday under new ownership and business as usual. Otherwise, if there is no buyer, the depositors get paid up to their insured amounts by the FDIC within a few days. With FDIC and SIPC and other depsoit insurance mechanisms in place, there's no need for bank runs like in the Great Depression years or what happened to Washington Mutual.

Nobody can really imagine what would buy this bank, maybe Elon Musk?

Someone genuinely concerned about this might suggest raising the FDIC limit to $5 billion per account.

I don't believe that is correct. The FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000. If you had more you are still insured for the first $250k.

correct, if I seem to say something else i don't mean to

in any case 'uninsured' is being used, though it seems to mean the amount not insured, not a person, yet I saw that usage

Per Motley Fool the big thing is they have a lot of low interest mortgage instruments on their books that cannot be cashed until they pay off. They cannot sell any because if they sell even one they have to mark the rest to market which would cause a huge paper loss. Cost of capital has gone up so they are locked in to ongoing losses.

There's really no excuse for allowing yourself to have a portion of your money in a bank uninsured ... not an individual anyway. Companies with big payrolls can get caught.

As for individuals, you shouldn't normally have that much in cash. A married couple with a joint account could have a $500,000 account insured. But if a life event would change that, you would want to open accounts in different banks

Quote: link

The FDIC adds together all single accounts owned by
the same person at the same bank and insures the total
up to $250,000... if a person has a ... deposit at Bank A and has a
... deposit at Bank B, the amounts would each
be insured separately up to $250,000. Funds deposited
in separate branches of the same insured bank are not
separately insured ...

JP Morgan has unrealized losses 3X larger than SVB, on the order of over $45 billion. Bank stocks had a huge run against them yesterday in the tens of billions of dollars. SVB had over $40 billion withdrawn from their accounts just yesterday. Things could escalate into a national bank holiday by the end of next week.

They were a couple billion short and tried to raise cash. That's the red flag these days. Now everybody who had accounts there will be short huge amounts and defaulting all over the place. There may be over 25,000 startups about to go bankrupt because of this bank, or because of the FDIC limits being too low.

from the linked article:


"So far, most large banks are taking the news in stride.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR select ETF (XLF) is down just 2.1%"


and remember, if there are massive losses the U.S. Government can step in and ease the situation by just borrowing another trillion dollars

the Nasdaq March 23 futures that many traders believe are an indicator of the next trading day's opening performance are down only about 1% from the last trading day

the U.S. has never in its entire history defaulted on its debt obligations

the MCSI - a highly regarded investment research firm on March 3 stated that the implied probability of the U.S. defaulting was 11.3% as of Feb. 24 up from 3.3 % probability at the beginning of the year

the probability - according to them - is still very low

it's not time to panic as you seem to be constantly suggesting

google news which prioritizes its placement of stories based on some complex algorithm does not even have the bank crash story on its front page right now

the New York Times does have it on its front page but its way down from the top - and the story is about who is to blame - not about future repercussions except for its likely effect on Crypto

and why in the world is this thread in the Betting Systems section - 5 step martingale on a financial collapse maybe___________ 😃

iAllegedly - This is the Start of the Bank Crash - YouTube

********************
If the FDIC has $125 billion, it can handle 500,000 customers claiming the full $250K. Congress would have to give it unlimited reserves.
While the Treasury is doing extraordinary measures because of the debt ceiling crisis, the FDIC reserves cannot be raised.

One possibility.
A lot of new tech is big on crypto. If they had their cash reserves in Silicon Valley Bank,for payroll and expenses, they were only insured for $250,000. If they have to sell cyrpto to raise money to cover the next few weeks or months expenses, that should lower prices. I'm sure there will be some who think this is good for CC but I'd love to hear them explain why in a couple of sentences.
For those of us who keep less than 250,000 per bank, I don't see any problem.

ROKU supposedly had almost 500 million dollars on account there, and as it is big on start-ups, and venture capitalist, there may be hundreds of multi-million dollar accounts. The government only insures the first $250,000.

That was probably related to the Silvergate Bank thing. I'm not sure if there's any correlation, I will have to read the suggested links.

Interesting.

Many of the big things people claimed would make Cypto move one way or the other seems to have been just the opposite. Obviously, when placed like Silvergate bank fold, it's going to have a negative effect.

I've concluded there is a small base for bitcoin, but I don't see it growing. There is support in the 16,000-23,000 range, which is horrible compared to its year old and two-year-old range. It's certainly not taking the world by storm. If I were a speculator, I'd be comfortable buying below 18 and selling at 22 a couple of times a year, but I'm not.

IIRC you said it was not a buy when it hit its last low back when it was around 15k. It has since been up to around 25k.

As markets mature, my evaluations change. I still think its long-term prospects suck, but a profitability window exists. I'd say buy below 16 and sell at 22.

google news which prioritizes its placement of stories based on some complex algorithm does not even have the bank crash story on its front page right now

the New York Times does have it on its front page but its way down from the top - and the story is about who is to blame - not about future repercussions except for its likely effect on Crypto

and why in the world is this thread in the Betting Systems section - 5 step martingale on a financial collapse maybe___________ 😃

I think google news has moved from prioritizing stories on a complex algorithm to prioritizing paid advertisers who grift retail businesses now. Their search engine certainly moved to that model anyway.

IIRC you said it was not a buy when it hit its last low back when it was around 15k. It has since been up to around 25k.


imagine that
a WOV member made a wrong prediction about the direction of Crypto
color me - TOTALLY SHOCKED_______________________________________________________ 😃 😃 😃





also, look how ethereum has outperfomed bitcoin from 2018 thru the end of 2022 in %


bitcoin - -73, 95, 301, 90, -81

ethereum - -82.7, -8, 464, 401, -67.5

Betting Systems does seem like a marginally more appropriate heading than either Strip Clubs or Bill's Gambling Hall & Saloon.
May the cards fall in your favor.

BREAKING Regulators close New York's Signature Bank due to "Systemic Risk"
JUST IN: Coinbase $COIN says it holds $240 million in now-collapsed Signature bank.
Coinbase just moved to Signature Bank after Silvergate imploded. Now Signature is no more. Who will bank the unbanked?
90% of Signature Bank’s deposits were uninsured

BREAKING: The Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC have wisely chosen to ensure that ALL depositors at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank are made whole.
“Shareholders and certain unsecured debtholders will not be protected. Senior management has also been removed”

New York Signature Bank, the second big bank to fail
bought $25B in bonds that pay only 2.04% interest
They owed $88B in deposits, and only had $5 B in cash.
Demolished.

there is news that regulators are backstopping depositors and making additional funding available to other banks
and we all know the U.S. Government has an unlimited money supply and can simply borrow trillions more whenever necessary - smirk, smirk

this news caused the futures markets to rally and also crypto

The Forbes article is dated Feb. 10th

nonetheless the markets generally feel they have gotten good news, as the next hike is not going to be more than 25 pts, almost for sure, while until the bank collapse the betting favored going to 50 pts.

please refer to my OP which has been edited and is now correct

It looks like my family has resolved a long-running estate debut and distribution checks are in the mail. Hell has evidently frozen over and the collapse of the economy is at hand.
