re: Any of you angry that you are bailing out SVB? - Bruco
[quote]I read that employees are getting 45 days pay at 1.5 salary. Basically 3 months pay. That's extremely generous imo.[/quote] To work, it’s not a severance. Sure some groups, like a lot of sales functions won’t have much to do, but other areas will be exceptionally busy. Lots to do here ...

re: Is Regions Bank next? - Bruco
[quote]I have no idea where Regions exists outside of AL, LA, MS and FL. They are probably in other states too. It's a pretty big bank. Top 20-30 in the country I think.[/quote] Depends on if you are talking about consumer or corporate banking. TX, NC, SC, MO, IN, KY, IL, among other states ...

re: Is Regions Bank next? - Bruco
The feds have asked all the banks to report a number of things by Monday am. It’s been an interesting weekend. And yeah could also be a cleaning crew And their deposit base couldn’t be more different than SVB I spent Friday on an SVB counterparty risk scrub. My employer effectively has...

re: Can someone who understands venture-capital explain to me why the uproar? - Bruco
[quote]At least $42B was successfully withdrawn yesterday. That alone negates your claim of "basically disappeared". On top of that, the securities/treasuries portfolio that caused the run in the first place is still largely intact. They paid like $27B for treasuries that were marked down to $25B ...

re: No Liquidity - Silicon Valley Bank meltdown sparks contagion fears - Bruco
[quote]f they were that heavy in bonds, such that rates could burn them like that, I'd still say that's risky. [/quote] Fair, but you can typically just hold them through their duration and not have to take a loss. They needed the liquidity, so they sold and took a loss. Not great but the res...

re: No Liquidity - Silicon Valley Bank meltdown sparks contagion fears - Bruco
[quote]I've never, ever been a fan of a bank making risky investment plays. [/quote] Except, they didn’t really. Got burned by rates and by their heavy VC deposit base, which are burning cash right now and an easily spooked market. ...

re: When did you hit a 6 figure USD salary? - Bruco
[quote]The one honest person on the OT. Only 18% of Americans make over 100K, but 99.9% of the OT. Never change OT. Never change.[/quote] This is a college sports message board. So you likely have a disproportionately high level of folks with a bachelor’s degree. Then add in the fact that you...
