Just think. If Trump was president and he put Biden and Faucci in jail, they wouldnt stealing from us and washing it through Ukraine and this run on the bank wouldn't be happening

It kinda rocked the stock market a good bit and impacted payroll providers, and thus people’s payroll.

Seems like a big deal.

Hell.. I’m cheering it. I pulled out of some ETFs back in February and was looking for another entry point.

After yesterday and today… that entry point was today.

It could be a problem if it sparks fear and a run on banks who hold bonds they purchased at low interest rates that are now basically worthless.

If people try to withdraw large amounts, banks have to sell those bonds at a loss to cover the withdrawal leading to bank failure.

However unless you have an account with more than 250k I wouldn’t worry because FDIC will insure it. It may cause stocks to tank for awhile

SVB was almost entirely based around venture capital and tech start ups. They got themselves into a trap by not recognizing the effect of rising rates on their "safe" assets, Tbills. The impact of social media and some large voices within the venture capitalist community caused a run on deposits at the bank when SVB announced plans to fix their interest rate issue and raise capital.

Tldr they had very little portfolio diversity, with their business almost entirely focused on a very risky industry in VCs and tech startups.
