so does the FDIC have a ton of discretion to choose how it uses the premiums bank pay into it? I always thought their mandate was pretty much set, but maybe they can just decide "lol all deposits are covered for now, because we can"????

FDIC understanders, please explain

Honestly you could argue First Republic (shareholders) got the best NotABailout deal here. The new lending facility is gonna fix a lot of their problems, which should make their stock soar?

yeah the depositor backstopping is a de facto bailout for the at-risk banks that haven't failed yet

I still don't understand where the money is coming from or how it works legally lmao

lol I'm not a banker but it seems like if the FDIC is now insuring all deposits no matter how big then it's basically a blank check to do whatever no matter how risky. A billion dollars of deposits to speculate in PonziCoin? Why not you already got preemptively bailed out

the insurance is covered by premiums which are paid by banks

I can't imagine the huge banks are particularly happy about their insurance pool thinning out and going to cover all of these feeble competitors who were snatching up their high-return clients already. The FDIC assessments on banks will almost necessarily have to increase.

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 company is already gone. it doesn't exist. The feds have their money and their executives are preparing to be sued into the ground. it died so quickly that even people with short positions are scrambling to try to get their money

only depositors can access the loan money, and the FDIC is running those deposits now

sure they can. One of the major risks to raising rates too much or too quickly was the unrealized losses that would pile up on bank balance sheets.

As of Sunday March 12th, there's no such thing as an unrealized loss on a bank's balance sheet due to interest rate moves - they can immediate cash against them at their old value. It's effectively a 600 billion dollar stimulus lmao just lmao.

jpow could set rates to 25% tomorrow and the banks wouldn't blow up :toot:

the bank has to go broke and get taken over by the government for it to happen, the bankers themselves still lose all their money

there's almost nothing i can really do aside from get some poo poo rear end job or pivot careers entirely, but anything i'd probably want to do would not be particularly viable unless i wanted to leech off my spouse's income. while on paper i can fill one of probably three or four different roles right now which does open up my options, the competition wipes out that opportunity unless i magically get lucky over the coming weeks and one of these places actually wants me (and isn't doomed)

i *might* be able to get some kind of IT job in philly's government, but their hiring systems are an absolute disaster from what information i've gathered

Probably just gotta keep plugging away knowing that it's going to be an extremely bad week for hiring

incredibly funny that a meme run on stocks lead to the finacialization of this thread is also being used to crash actual banks by VC lmao.

Anyway does anybody have a summary of what kind of bailout SVB is getting? I hear people saying THIS WILL HE USED TO MAKE SURE EMPLOYEES FET PAID WHILE PUNISHING THE BANK but everyone is going to say that because bailing out bank executives is probably the single least popular action in the country

The bank is already dead, only the depositors get the bailout out of FDIC funds. So it's more of a VC/startup bailout than a bank bailout. All the SVB bank execs are probably going to get sued into the ground by the shareholders who lost everything within 24 hours. In any case they don't have a job anymore. Other banks could still suffer a similar fate since the FDIC is backstopping people who made deposits but not the banks and their own assets and investments.

If that CFO had been even borderline competent the bank wouldn't have gone under. There was no structural reason it had to happen. They were just really loving bad at investing their prestigious bank's plentiful assets and managed to inflict enough damage on themselves to trigger a panic.

The myth of the meritocracy must surely be dead by now.
