Silicon Valley Bank has failed

Lucy attributed a # to SVB (post #293). I googled "SVB" and that number and that article hit. I quickly perused it for a statement supporting Lucy's post, cut and paste it into the post, and included the link. That's the "checking out" I did.

As a result, Goat looked into it further. Would he have had I not done that, just based on Lucy's post? I don't know. I'm glad he did and, at least I, now know more about what Lucy was getting at and why it is wrong.

Condemn away.

And that's where you are playing fast and loose with facts. Your lack of credibility is showing in this post.

I guess you could make arguments about the current versions of the NAACP and ACLU (they'd be wrong, but you could make them), but not sure how you can, in any world, justify including these:***

"Claremont lists 3M pledging a whopping $50 million to “BLM.” But the cited document, published in September 2020, appears to be mainly focused on supporting STEM learning in Black communities. It’s a pledge of $50 million over 5 years and lists $6 million in initial investments. That $6 million consisted of $5 million to the United Negro College Fund for work in St. Paul, Minnesota"
. . .
"Next up is Chevron, which Claremont reports pledged $15 million to “BLM.”

What does the actual cited document say? That $15 million went to $7 million in grants to historically Black colleges and universities; $1 million to the Executive Leadership Council; $5.1 million in grants to three foundations supporting k-12 education; $2 million to the United Negro College Fund; $1.6 million to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and $1 million to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture."

***I didn't think this needed to be stated, but to ensure I "ought" not be "condenmed," I have not personally vetted the numbers or underlying documents cited in Goat's article.
It gets crazier. Based entirely on this article about the allotment of $500K to community development and a food bank near Guinness' Baltimore brewery, and said brewery's affirmation that it supports BLM, Diageo's entire $20M community fund pledge qualifies as BLM.

I’d stop paying and tell them to kiss your mom’s a#%.
She doesn't want anything bad to come out on her credit report. If the bank went under though how can they collect on a loan? Actually what happens to the loan? Unless someone steps up and buys the paper...IDK

Probably sold to a new bank. Otherwise I’m sure a receiver will be apptd. She probably didn’t get lucky

I’m screwing around. I assume another bank would take over the loan and inform her she owes them money, now. Your mom is regular folk, they don’t get the bailouts:)

So question for all you bank, finance, blah, blah. My mom has her HVAC loan through Signature Bank. If the bank is disolved, whats gonna happen with that loan? I don't want her paying out into nothing. Thoughts?
Obviously not following the Dave Ramsey plan.

Strange re that institute. It was started by Jaffa who is kind of a legend. Got his phd from the new school (way left) then became a big name at Claremont colleges (conservative) and started the institute tho it’s not attached to the schools.
It's been going downhill for a while.

 
My "give a shit" wasn't deep enough to dig because I don't care that much. It was already established that SVB was playing fast and loose with investments and other things in a few directions. They donated $73 million to BLM and other assorted left leaning groups. Same difference.
And what the interest rate hikes did to their bond portfolio.

Maybe Biden will forgive the loan. 🤣

Seriously, I would guess that another bank will buy the loan unless it's a really low rate and then it might not be as enticing.

Was better wasn’t it. The games were simple. Porn was just the Emanuel movies. Nah it’s all too much. Takes hours to update to even get a game going on the stupid Xbox. Bring back cartridges

How slow is your internet? It only took me ~5 mins and I could start playing during the update.

Jeez, I found out yesterday a guy we know is on the board of directors of svb. They do not need a bailout. They are filthy stinking rich New Yorkers.

Unreal
 
Credit Suisse opened materially higher today after Switzerland promised a liquidity program for its largest lender. Sounds like it will be a shortlived solution though.

JPMorgan analysts in a note Thursday said a partial nationalization, a breakup or a merger were possible solutions. It added that while the Swiss bank doesn’t have a capital problem, it faces market confidence issues. “In our view, status quo is no longer an option.”

Short-lived solution.
Faces market confidence issues.

Big time stuff

When a Swiss bank needs bailed out, it ain't good.

Interesting that Deutsche Bank - the one that supposedly made all those bad loans to Trump - isn't mentioned as being in trouble.

CS has been on the decline for a while. Really shit management, despite having a good reputation in asset management and investment banking. Losses ballooned to $7B last year. Compare that with DB who actually turned a $5.8B profit.

Both banks peaked in 2015 post-financial crisis and are on a slow march towards splitting up.

It won't matter in the end regarding the underlying debt, but you might ask the bank asking her to pay to produce the note. That way you can have some assurance that someone else won't make the same claim later. Like I said it won't matter for the actual debt (the purchasing bank can just use a lost note affidavit to prove it's the owner), but it may preclude other claims. At least she can show diligence in paying a fraudster, if it comes to that . . . .

Something has to be done so the people that are in charge of banks make sound banking decisions rather that decisions to put more money in their pockets. Now I'm not smart enough and don't know enough about how the banking system works to know what to do.

If you can't count on the Swiss for banking, what can you count on?
