I dodged a bullet on this one. Was just about to open an account for a new company with them.
I’m just hoping my PE backing wasn’t overexposed and has to back out now.

That is the one question I would have: how exposed are PE firms Venture Capital, etc., other sponsors who parked money there?

seems the general belief is there won’t be contagion from this bank collapse or the collapse of Silvergate, but I do wonder if this influences the Federal Reserve at all and has them consider pausing the rate hikes

Only 13% of the funds with them are FDIC insured. Looks like some people are going to lose a lot of money.

I wonder which bank will be the next to fail.

I agree. SVB collapsing is not big enough for the FR to react. Need something bigger and more market fear for them to change the current trajectory of money tightening espeically with counter data like low unemployment.

War Room's Steve Cortes said only 2.3% of the total deposits were FDIC insured.

Exactly.

When do we start taking bets on who's going to buy them? I bet they move quick on this one.

It makes me wonder how many of these Silicon Valley folks have been living on the backs of venture capitalism. I guess we will soon see...

I sure as hell hope not. The Fed needs to be more aggressive. Rates can always be dialed back, but these just the tip rate increases are simply exacerbating the problem. Getting inflation under control has to be the focused mission of the Fed. Collateral damage be damned.

This is a really bad sign!

Thats my bet as well. They love this kind of shite.
I gotta get back in bed with them for some tax equity anyway, so might as well bank with them too.
