Still behind the curve, but kudos for having the balls to keep on track following the Credit Suisse drama.

All of those regional banks taking a shit again this morning. FRC, WAL, PACW, WAL

iirc, the Saudis already have a 9.8% or so stake. They cited that if their ownership exceeds 10%, a bunch of regulatory rules kick in and they don't want any of that. (Could be a convenient excuse as well, but its certainly plausible from a risk standpoint) *edit* just read the same in the...

And, down we go again. Credit Suisse in the spotlight again. (This bank has been mired in issues for some time). https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-15/credit-suisse-is-fueling-a-broader-rout-in-european-bank-stocks?srnd=premium&sref=9HT8lz40

HSBC bought the UK arm of SVB only. The acquisition – which cost HSBC £1 – followed overnight talks between Downing Street, the Bank of England and HSBC bosses including the chief executive, Noel Quinn, as authorities rushed to protect the finances of SVB UK’s 3,500 customers. Those customers...

Notice JPM there, didn't shave off 10% to gain 9.5% back like USB. I called out my JPM long ($129s) on Friday as the price remained solid while everyone else fell.

Last week you could have got over 5% (annualized) on a 6 month Treasury.

My first CD with my bank in the early 2000s, I remember was $20k for 5yrs at just over 6%.

WAL and FRC are just getting smoked. The risk for investors is the simple fact the FDIC (as well as Biden's comments this morning) basically saying depositors may be protected, but any investors will not be whatsoever. We are simply seeing flight out of those banks from investors who don't want...

$WAL -80% (another one bites the dust)

SCHW halt down again.

Charles Schwab just halted down (-18% so far). That is NOT some mom and pop regional bank.

I think you may be right.

Some retail investor panic today, as SCHW (Schwab) has lost about 50% market value since last week. Schwab owns TD Ameritrade (Think or Swim) brokerage and there is a hell of a lot of retail investor money parked there.

VIX up 17% and nearing 30s again.

JPM up 4.5% from my buy.

Yea, FRC 100% bottom to top recovery.

JPM highs of day. Everything else still shitting the bed.

JPM flips green on the day.

Long some JPM (long term acct). This is holding flat while market and regional banks are puking. Thesis that those shitty regional bank outflows need to go somewhere. More insulated bigger banks like JPM are prime to benefit this.

WAL, FRC, PACW, SBNY that i see

SBNY sympathy dump.

Bookmap showing the largest shrs bid on SIVB is 138k shares at $1. lol

Strangely I see time & sales data moving on it as well. Not sure if its simply out of sequence ADFN orders, or market makers are matching bid / ask to resume.
