How big a bank are y’all?

Do you have more than $250k in a single account?

If not, then you have nothing to worry about.

I imagine if a bank like Capital One went under, the FDIC would be in trouble covering all the deposits under $250k

Hence the implicit talk we have been hearing about.

What people fail to realize is the actual amount at “risk”. It’s not like a bank takes your money, loses it all, and then fails. Hell, WaMu was the largest bank failure ever and I don’t believe a penny of the FDIC was needed to cover any deposits.

Been at every bank I’ve worked at from $500m to $5b in size.

The government can always print money. Additionally, the government isn’t giving out actual dollar bills to all these individuals at failed banks. They’re just moving on paper balances to another institution.

If it's a joint account with natural persons (like husband and wife) with equal authority over the account and names on the sig card, each coowner is covered. A couple with a joint account could have $500K coverage.

Over the long term, yes, but the FDIC will kick in a lot quicker to ensure those accounts are liquid, right?

Maybe FDIC insurance up to $250K was the most damaging regulation of all.

It's because of this that people don't care what banks do with their money. If they did, there would be bank ratings on safe/risky banks. Maybe even full reserve banks with ultimate safety.

I don't know the correct answer, but I do know that a gold standard with the amount of imports that our country does would be extremely problematic.

Sure hope not. Half this board has cash in their high yield savings.


I'm more worried about the OT. Even if they split up their money over thousands of banks they'll still be over the FDIC limit.

You can actually figure this out yourself, go pull up their 10k and run the numbers. Figure out how liquid they actually are if they had to sell some investments today (so less than what they have listed) and if they could come up with funds if a bank run happened to them.

The info is out there.
