Well, frick.

This is getting interesting.

First Horizon (my bank) down 22%.




TD is buying them. My heloc is with them. Hopefully they stay afloat.

Stock dropping to $15 indicates that the Market doesn't think the deal will happen. That coupled with the delays and ongoing opposition in Washington doesn't look good.

Bank stocks dropping today doesn't mean something is actually wrong with a particular bank.

The shorts are going insane right now.

I have money in both Western Alliance and First Horizon. Each has under $250k. Combined they would exceed the $250k FDIC limit. The money is Western Alliance is at 4.5% interest and earmarked for my 2022 taxes and first quarter 2023 taxes.

Part of me wants to leave the WA deposit there earning interest until April, then pay my taxes with it. Still, if there's a big run on the bank waiting for the FDIC to make good could make my tax payment late. Save Better is the custodial bank; I can't pay taxes through WA. I'd have to transfer to FH, then pay Uncle Sam. As stated above, when I do that the two balances will exceed $250k. That makes me nervous.

Not entirely sure how I'm going to handle. Guess I'll 1) drain the First Horizon accounts to Treasury Direct and another bank, 2) transfer the WA funds to First Horizon, 3) then pay Uncle Sam.

Thoughts?

If you have the brains to figure out which of these regionals are financially stable you could make bank in this environment.


Has anyone figured this out yet?

I bought at the opening bell yesterday and am already getting hammered. Luckily they were small positions so I'll DCA today.

FHN isn’t going anywhere. Just transfer when you need to pay the taxes.

They're still being acquired by TD. I find the customer service not as great to work with over the phone. The local banks are still the same old friendly people though. I ended up switching anyway because of the whole TD bank thing
