And now for something really important...SVB failure.

Deposits are bank liabilities, not assets. Originally Posted by lustylad

They are also referenced in different ways, such as a customer referring to "my deposit", or when a bank purchases another bank and assumes its assets and liabilities, or FDIC deposit insurance. Also there are certificates of deposit which would be asset or a liability, depending how they are being referred to.

Don't know what you are trying to get at with this and your other posts.

However, anytime a poster starts a post with "in other words", they really have little to say.

You mentioned the possibility of another financial institution making an offer to the FDIC for Silicon Valley Bank's assets. I think the FDIC would prefer to find a single buyer for everything, not liquidate the bank by selling assets and paying off liabilities piecemeal.

Figuring inflation, even at the dollar per dollar rate, buying those liabilities is profitable.

The Silicone Valley Bank failed today. Kaput...gone! People lost their deposits, investments, and retirements. Oh, don't worry, it was only rich people says the left. The left should be worried. Besides being one of the largest collapses since 2008, many important people were touting the value of SVB right up until this month. Washington DC regulators (you know, Biden's crew) were blindsided by events. This bank was also fully invested in ESG practices, you know, Environmental Social Governances. A very left wing philosophy. The CEO and some of the top executives were selling their stock while the getting was good. So...

Why did the regulators fail to see this coming? Was money involved? Was it the incompetence of people more concerned with global warming than people?

SVB is allowed to promote itself even when it is failing. Did the celebrities, government officials, and media personalities take a payoff to give bad advice?

What will this do to the rest of the economy? The Fed is more concerned with diversity than their real jobs.

and selling shares in the face of a collapse and passing out last second bonuses with other people's money..that's not a lot of virtue

This is turning into a decent thread.

The FDIC announced it will establish a new bank to protect insured depositors and will open no later than Monday. Clients with no more than $ 250,000 are protected by FDIC, and the agency said it will pay an advance dividend to uninsured accounts over the course of next week. It's unclear when those accounts will be able to retrieve all of their money, if at all.

SVB had insurance on corporate sweep accounts for up to $ 125 million.

Get it now ? Most of your posts are just trying to be perjorative, adding nothing.
