  • Analysis: covid lockdowns, govt. spening primed bank crisis
    • "In a nutshell, during the pandemic the government issued enormous amounts of extremely low interest government debt — about $4.2 trillion of it. But now interest rates, including on government debt, are higher than they have been in 15 years and investors are dumping their old low-interest debt. As they dump, the resale price of the old debt goes down. The more it declines, the more investors want to dump. And thus, a panic is born.

  • Former SVC CEO explains what really happened...
    • "A few years ago the venture-capital market got frothy, and SVB’s clients deposited huge amounts of newly acquired cash equity—so much that the bank’s deposit base quadrupled within a few years. SVB couldn’t lend out that much money, but unused deposits are a drain on return, so the bank had to deploy them somehow. Rather than put all the excess into low-yielding, short-term investments, the bank decided to place a significant chunk of them into higher-yielding longer-term securities.
    • "But the venture market became less frothy, and the venture capitalists’ portfolio companies needed some of their deposits back. That money was locked up in these longer-term securities—and in the meantime, the Federal Reserve had raised interest rates, reducing the value of SVB’s investments. Selling them would have meant taking a hit of about $1.8 billion—not crippling, but anxiety provoking. SVB needed cash to return the deposits, so it attempted to sell stock. When the bank announced that on Thursday, many venture capitalists panicked.

  • WSJ: "DeFacto bailout of the banking system"
    • "The Treasury and Federal Reserve stepped in late Sunday to contain the financial damage from Friday’s closure of Silicon Valley Bank, guaranteeing even uninsured deposits and offering loans to other banks so they don’t have to take losses on their fixed-income assets.
    • "This is a de facto bailout of the banking system, even as regulators and Biden officials have been telling us that the economy is great and there was nothing to worry about. The unpleasant truth—which Washington will never admit—is that SVB’s failure is the bill coming due for years of monetary and regulatory mistakes.
    • "Will a universal uninsured deposit guarantee be next? This would be a monumental policy surrender, essentially admitting that the regulatory machinery established in 2010 by Dodd-Frank failed. We may be the only people in the world who still worry about “moral hazard.” But a nationwide guarantee for uninsured deposits, even for a limited time, means this will become the default policy any time there is a financial panic.
    • "You can’t run the most reckless monetary and fiscal experiment in history without the bill eventually coming due. The first invoice arrived as inflation. The second has come as a financial panic, with economic damage that may not end with Silicon Valley Bank.

"Instead of protecting the shareholders and their employees, they are more concerned about the social policies. And I think it’s probably a badly run bank.
