As that ZH chart shows, Wells Fargo is my bet for the first Big 4 bank to pop like a balloon.

It was two, two days ago: Silvergate went down and then Silicon Valley Bank blew up at the end of last week. The third, Signature Bank got shut down like a hour ago by the Feds glowmen.

First Republic is likely to be next.

lmao pretty sure my job uses Wells Fargo for payroll, gdi

so Yellen was full of poo poo to say no to bailout earlier? nothing makes sense.

it's all semantic games - people associate "bailout" with 2008 which this is not because the bank is dead

while it's not a popular consumer or individual rich-person choice, almost every business and public agency uses wells fargo, it would be a shitshow of immense destructive porpotions, like legit complete collapse of america

e: to add, wells fargo personal banking is an absolute crook garbage shitshow. wells fargo business lines are basically a whole different tier: it's like like flying coach on Spirit Airlines/Ryan Air (and you're seated in the cargo hold) vs First Class KLM airlines. wells fargo business lines is massively pervasive in small to large businesses. i wouldn't be surprised if close to 80% of all payroll is handled through wells fargo business lines.

Nobody will ever suffer consequences

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

So if the paper loss on treasuries for SVB isn't real anymore because they can get new loans from the fed, then why exactly are the shareholders screwed? Isn't this company worth something again?

The bank was shut down and replaced by a nee entity under FDIC control. Shares in the old entity became worthless.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
Given what's happened, if we rewind the clock there should have never been a bank run because the deposits were never actually in jeopardy? The execs got to skate with their withdrawals and stock sells, but they are done making money off their bank and now we'll have another consolidation in the too big to fail banking industry as the worth of SVB is picked up at a discount? Is that what happened?
