Eric Cantonese posted:I don't think there needs to be a big "hidden" problem in addition to CRE. If we have a ton of banks whose loan revenues are tied up to CRE and CRE goes completely to hell, banks are going to have to cut losses in a way that may affect how much they can back up account holders' account balances based on revenue alone. These banks all have a lot of legacy bonds with low interest rates on their books that are going to have to get sold for a discount, which compounds the problem. It's potentially a more widespread version of what affected Silicon Valley Bank. They frequently talk about bank issues and CRE as 2 separate issues. There are 2 different problems.

Without AppleCare coverage, the same repair costs $800. Some of the owners affected say they have contacted Apple Support and have been asked to pay the repair costs, since the crack has not officially been identified as a manufacturing defect. lmao

I'm curious about your thoughts on that. Ok I'm not being clear enough. A lot of the fedspeakers and yellen have said CRE is a concern and a potential problem to banks, but they have also said their are systemic risks to banks. 2 separate statements. The fedspeak is very precise with how words are said so I believe there are at least 2 problems the banking system is having to deal with currently.

I came across this video about "The most luxurious police department in the USA" and figured my homies in the DDEcon thread would have some thoughts...! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYK0gB9f8Do e: Salt Fish posted:Physical menu, or one of those making GBS threads plastic placards with a QR code?

When I was doing tourist poo poo in Los Angeles, driving by this was a tourist spot. Hearing a chorus of Eddy Murphy laughs in response to a tour guide holding up bunches of bananas was transcendent.

Mr Hootington posted:Yeah this is what I was thinking. The poo poo that is blowing up regionals. The low interest QE-era bonds aren't necessarily a problem for the banks unless they start having other revenue squeezes (like CRE). It's technically 2 separate issues since SVB blew up due to a PE/Tech-fueled bank run and Signature blew up due to a bank run caused by the collapse of crypto. I view this as all being interrelated. The low interest bonds are less helpful than they should be as "safe" assets in maintaining bank capitalization at the level it is supposed to be at in the face of other risks. I can see why you view it differently, though.

quote:“We need to get rid of this image of Amsterdam as a city where you go to do all the things that aren’t allowed at home, such as drugs and prostitution,” Christian Democratic Appeal councillor Diederik Boomsma said. I get that it's a pain in the rear end to deal with a bunch of party animals who don't comply with laws, but this reminds me of the short-lived efforts during the 90s to make Las Vegas "family friendly." Once tourism took a hit, they went to the "What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas" slogan.

Hoot, what is the likelihood of a rate cut happening and what is the fallout of heading back to ZIRP when we know that is a losing proposition? I know keeping them high is going to gut a lot of business like a fish eventually, along with anyone with a mortgage or other debt. Curious what going back to GFC conditions does for us.

Skaffen-Amtiskaw posted:Hoot, what is the likelihood of a rate cut happening and what is the fallout of heading back to ZIRP when we know that is a losing proposition? I'm not Hoot, but the the potential fallout of heading back to ZIRP is that without a lot of manufacturing capacity and supply chain robustness getting built back up, heating the economy back up is going to feed back into the price inflation that the Fed is (supposedly) trying to control. You increase demand in an environment where supply isn't necessarily increased. In fact, supply has often been decreased because the rate cut was usually triggered by something going very wrong. (This is kind of what you saw with the pandemic, where house and car prices started going absolutely insane. You also saw more temporary price spikes in stuff like pasta. I don't know if beef prices have ever come down. That's when microchip prices started going insane too and had add-on effects to the prices of other goods since microchips are in everything.) It does sound like they are going to try to cut at least once later in the year. If nothing else, there are growing concerns about bank liquidity and, even more than fighting inflation, the Fed justifies its existence by trying to prevent massive bank failures where people can't retrieve their deposit balances.
