Hello smart crew.

We buying puts on banks orrrr?

Wait, that's the obvious choice.

The apes are gonna try to short squeeze the banks.... So calls!

But they don't realize how many apes would need to pile into one bank to move the needle...... So puts again.

But then I guess there's the guessing game of which banks are gonna survive and which ones aren't...... Soooo might go up might go down?

Already fed my Roth, already at 20% into my 401k......might have to fire up a taxable account if we legit dip. I wanna buy the dip this time.

we are buying overall market calls (SPY, QQQ, etc) because everything just went way too far down way too fast. FOMC next week is backing down to the 0.25% rate hike which will soothe a lot of anxiety. i expect a relief rally over the rest of march after the beatdown we've taken recently

we're not seeing a 2008 bank crash. we're seeing one or two horribly diversified banks without cash reserves go under. wake me up when someone like Wells Fargo or PNC goes under.

long term though we're in for a dismal 2023 with rates being pinned to 5.25 - 5.5% for the entire year

They were already dead.
Ok. But the concern is obviously whether or not more banks are going to follow in their footsteps. Personally I dont think thats what we're going to see but why not show on the graph just how high risk their accounts were compared to others?

Not to mention SVB forgot to ladder treasuries properly. All of the banks have exposure to this but most haven’t even close to SVB.

Hope it’s only 2023 though. Jerome is a freaking nightmare At this point.

also, SVB went without a Chief Risk Officer or w/e for like 9 months last year, that didn't work out so hot
peter Thiel told a lot of folks to get their investments out though.

Our company used them as a bank. We got out Thursday. And our current PE firm is massive in the tech space.
