Will checks even be cashable two weeks from now?

My brokerage account is up 6 figures today. However, I have a boatload of funds in online casino accounts. I guess I need to research whether these funds are properly segregated and protected against a run on the casino. This NJ reg popped up in response to my search and I hope this in every state's regs.
Now, I just have to worry that the casinos chose their banks carefully.Quote:https://www.nj.gov/lps/ge/docs/Regulations/CHAPTER69O.pdf
(j) A casino licensee shall maintain a New Jersey bank account separate from all
other operating accounts to ensure the security of funds held in patron Internet gaming
accounts. The balance maintained in this account shall be greater than or equal to the sum of
the daily ending cashable balance of all patron Internet gaming accounts, funds on game, and
pending withdrawals. A casino licensee shall have unfettered access to all patron Internet
gaming account and transaction data to ensure the amount held in its independent account is
sufficient. The casino controller or above shall file a monthly attestation with the Division that
the funds have been safeguarded pursuant to this subsection.
(k) Patron funds held in an Internet gaming account shall not be automatically
transferred by a casino licensee nor shall a casino licensee be permitted to require a patron to
transfer funds from his or her Internet gaming account in order to circumvent the requirements
of (i) above.

I have no money in any bank. Even my Social Security account which is regulated by Comerica Bank, whenever I have $1,000 extra in that account I go to Comerica Bank and withdraw it from my government Social Security account. Last time I was in the manager said to me why don't you just open an account here and I said because I don't trust banks. All my money is in a place where I can lay my hands on it, literally lay my hands on the cash, some of it is in PayPal but that's not a bank.

First big failure in over a decade, so doing pretty good.
Failed because of regs requiring mark to market which meant when they sold one bond they had to mark them all. Thus they had to go to the capital markets which scared people.
Lack of oversight? Nope.

He paid them back the rest of his life. Would there be any other reason he would guest on the local "The Frank Rosenthal Show?"
Back to subject, in 2008 the feds really took it to the bank execs. Many wanted no part of TARP but were outright told to take the money or else. Then pols complained when bank CEOs "took private jets" to places after they took the money. High level CEOs de facto need to fly private, but why not make cheap political points?
Lots of bank mergers 2008-9. Chase had just bought Bears-Sterns but was told to buy WaMu. PNC was told to buy National City. Same as with SVB the feds backstopped things, but the feds forced them to do much that they did not want to do. It is very probably that the feds made money off most of the 2008 crash after it was cleaned up. The feds do not give away money without strings, they can put the mafia to shame there.
And the banks could take that low interest money from the Federal Reserve, walk down the street and buy Treasuries, and lock in a small profit. Meanwhile the government bond market gets liquidity. Clever, eh?
With banks the pattern is set, USA and elsewhere. Get a strong competitor to take over, promise to cover any garbage not found because no time for due diligence. Make life go on.

Random RT: Last time inflation was this high 1,600 banks failed not 2. This was in the 1970/1980s. The FED kept raising rates. Will Jerome Powell do the same thing this time?
During the 1980–94 period, 1,617 FDIC-insured commercial and savings banks were closed or received FDIC financial assistance.
What we have now are people on smart phones and laptop computers who read social media who don't need to stand in line at a bank to withdraw their money, and they can withdraw tens of billion of dollars in a few hours instead of a billion in 2 days.
Banks will not be able to close on Friday night for an FDIC takeover while there's a run on the bank of this size. The FDIC needs to shut down the bank at the exact moment it becomes insolvent so it doesn't ding their FDIC fund so hard. Everybody at SVB is fired so that leaves nearly 9,000 FDIC agents to take over the bank and branches.
********
States may issue IOU's to their workers at the start of a new fiscal year if they don't have a budget passed, and those IOU's can become worthless in the eyes of the banks and the holders of the IOU's if too much time passes and there's no progress. People need to be paid, or we wind up like some defaulted country where only crony military gets paid.

one morning I turned around to look at the cardboard ad displaying the CD rates and I did a double take
one CD was paying 19%

I was able to get a couple of six-month ones but couldn't tie money up long-term. After my aunt Elanor died, it turned out she had a few $100,000 twenty years bills at 15-16%.
I'm looking for long-term investments but everything seems geared to the short term. It feels nice to be getting 4%-5% on cash but I don't see that lasting long. I was getting 5%+ when I started saving in 1974.

I don't believe that at all. I think what you are trying to say is that over 60% of the total dollar value of deposits is held in accounts with a value over $250k.
There are lots more accounts with less than $250k than ones with more than $250k.

60% of the money deposited in US banks isn't covered. Every depositor knows the limits. It does seem crazy that a company can't keep its payroll in one bank and not have to worry about the banks' safety.

So how big a bank account does WalMart need to meet payroll? $50 million? These banks pay a fee to fund the FDIC little by little so $250K can be covered across the system. Covering much more is like a disaster declaration by the federal gov't, which in this case it was, a systemic risk declaration. These banks can cover 80% or more of the uninsured deposits if they are shut down in time, but IndyMac had a 50% haircut back in the day. Right now big depositors are fleeing regional and small banks to deposit at the top banks, so smaller than TBTF (too big to fail) banks will be defaulting when they run out out of cash and assets in this bank run very soon. TBTF was defined as over $50 billion then redefined to over $250 billion in assets a few years ago. So SVB was TBTF before the term was redefined at their request.

Quote: ChumpChangeSo how big a bank account does WalMart need to meet payroll? $50 million?
I would guess quite a bit more. Walmart has over 2 million employees. If we just make a wild guess and say they average $15 an hour and work on average 20 hours per week that would be $300 per week per employee or about $600 million a week. If they are paid bi-weekly the payroll would be $1.2 billion per pay period
ZipRecruitor says the average Walmart employee makes a little less than $25 an hour. I am skeptical of that number.

1,043 of the 1600 closed institutions were were savings and loans which are not banks. They were all covered by the FDIC but if they had been all banks that were closed the country would have shut down. During runaway inflation in the Carter Administration the Fed raised interest rates so high that Savings and Loans were no longer making money and one third of them went out of business in the 80s.

They were covered by the FSLIC, not the FDIC. But the rest, yeah.
When I first got into banking people whined that the rate on HELOCs was not fixed. At the time the prime rate was 4%. I had to regularly explain that we could not offer a fixed revolving rate that low as if rates went up we would be in a guaranteed loss. That was to customers, but I think half the employees didn't get it, either. The whole thing is so easy to understand which is why politicians and others cannot understand it.
Bank pays 6% on a CD and loans out a mortgage at 8%. A profitable spread. CD is for 5 years. But in 2 years rates fall and I refinance down to 5%. However, the bank can't refinance the CD! Now they are locked in a loss for the rest of its term. Just multiply that many times, and that is what happens. That is the danger of banking.
On Motley Fool piodcast they looked back and said the low rates we have had the past 20 years are the longest and lowest rates IN 1000 YEARS! Records of course get sketchy, but never in history have we had this. Mr. and Mrs. America are going to have to learn the actual cost of money going forward.

You keep acting as writing regulations for the sake of regulations is a good thing. Mortgages were highly regulated in the 2000s and we still had the 2008 meltdown. Some of the regulations even caused the meltdown.
But your question "Let me know who says less regulation is the answer." is weird. YOU are calling out people who are calling for less regulation so you should know who is calling for less. My guess is you do not even know any banking regulations but rather just cheer when you hear how many more regulations regulators wrote as if that shows their effectiveness.
I have had to deal with some silly banking regulations and see the issues they cause.

There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

Let me know who says less regulation is the answer. Even enacting a wrong regulation would not prove it. It just proves a there's a wrong regulation.

You keep acting as writing regulations for the sake of regulations is a good thing. Mortgages were highly regulated in the 2000s and we still had the 2008 meltdown. Some of the regulations even caused the meltdown.
But your question "Let me know who says less regulation is the answer." is weird. YOU are calling out people who are calling for less regulation so you should know who is calling for less. My guess is you do not even know any banking regulations but rather just cheer when you hear how many more regulations regulators wrote as if that shows their effectiveness.
I have had to deal with some silly banking regulations and see the issues they cause.

You just saying you are right proves nothing. And I will not ask you to prove anything as your history of "proof" is not great.
But you did just "prove" you do not even know any actual banking regulations. If you did you would have actually tried to make a point with some. Heck, you have not even said who was calling for less oversight and what regulations they wanted relaxed. We have not really relaxed banking regulations since Clinton did in the late-1990s.

You got tired of losing arguments on DT and left. That's obvious.
Why do I need a bank regulation to prove that no one is going to be calling out for less regulation as a solution except for dummies. Oh, someone will call for it deregulation eventually, once the this is farther in the past and people have forgotten about it.

UPDATED WED, MAR 15 2023 9:14 AM EDT https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/14/stock-market-today-live-updates.html
Dow futures fall 600 points as Credit Suisse slide adds to financial sector woes.
Stock futures fell on Wednesday as pressure on the financial sector increased with shares of Credit Suisse, a Swiss Bank that has large U.S. and global operations, tumbling more than 25%.
Saudi National Bank, Credit Suisse’s largest investor, said Wednesday it could not provide any more funding, according to a Reuters report. This comes after the Swiss lender said earlier this week it had found “certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting” for the years 2021 and 2022.
*************
I'm sure I've been warned in the past that this is an extinction level event, but it's not even 9:30 am.

Nope. Got tired of arguing with people who argue like children. Like is happening now. Your "argument" is just you saying you are right and I am wrong. You have made zero arguments to support your position.
]q\Why do I need a bank regulation to prove that no one is going to be calling out for less regulation as a solution except for dummies.
Dunno, to show you might know what you are talking about? See, I explained how the mark-to-market regulation caused SVB to try to secure more funds and caused the run. I did not even take a position if it was good or bad, but did show I know what happened.
You merely keep saying "DEREGULATION BAD!" You have not even pointed out any regulation that was removed or proposed one that would help.
And you wonder why I am not wasting time at DT lately?

I made a statement. It will be proved right or wrong. So you take the opposite position if you like. You know banking regulations backwards and forwards, so sounds like an easy win for you. You can't lose.

I made a statement. So it will be proven wrong according to you and because you could quote banking regulations in your sleep. So take the opposite position and let's see what happens.

I made a statement. If it's wrong according to all your knowledge, take the opposite position. Should be an easy win for you.

I will discuss with you when you actually post some kind of factual information on regulations or at least some argument beyond "REGULATIONS GOOD!"
Given your history of backing up your statements I do not expect to be replying.

Silicon Valley Bank might have been able to make good on $74 million promised to customers had it not pledged the money to leftist causes.
It is hard to make a case for not allowing such donations as corporations have the same rights as any person to donate funds. Corporations are people. But the boards of directors that allow this should be sacked. And it perhaps shows that SVB had their eyes on places other than the bottom line.

I will wager there will be some who will blame the regulations and call for freeing the banks. I've already had it pointed out that the banks that failed were in NY and California, not in "free states" like Florida. I expect it will get crazier as we go along.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.
