It didn’t collapse during the Great Depression or the recession :hsughw:

Credit markets didn’t really exist in the same way they did in DExpression. but I don’t know that I’d hold that standard up considering how long the recovery was….

As to the recession. Fed stepped in after little firms went up in smoke and stopped the big ones (AIG, CITI, BOA) from going under. NOtice how nobody is talking about signature bank really? SVB also is relatively tiny compared to the big banks.

All relevant to the bank size End of day. Hence why it was predictable credit Suisse got help Today.

I'm kinda dumb with this kind of stuff. I understand the basic issue (I think) - SVB was backed primarily by government bonds which are generally seen as very low risk, but because interest rates have been rising and SVB's accounts were high risk accounts (primarily tech startups which fail constantly), it was a recipe for disaster.

What I don't quite understand is why this would cause a domino effect and create this widespread panic around a more systemic failure. It seems like SVB's situation is kinda unique, is it just because any sort of bank failure spooks the beast and people start acting all retarded?

Sorry, again, I'm just a paint-by-numbers coder who will be replaced by GPT in the next couple years so I don't understand this shit very well.
i had chatgpt give you a great explanation, and then an explanation for a paint by numbers coder

The failure of a small regional bank may not necessarily cause an economic collapse on its own. However, if the bank is heavily interconnected with other financial institutions and the broader economy, its failure could trigger a chain reaction of negative consequences that could potentially lead to an economic collapse.
Firstly, if the small regional bank is a significant lender in its local community and it fails, it could cause a wave of defaults among borrowers, including small businesses and individuals. This would lead to a decrease in economic activity in the affected region, which could spread to other regions.
Secondly, if the small regional bank is part of a larger banking network or is a member of a clearinghouse, its failure could cause a ripple effect throughout the financial system. Other banks may lose confidence in the stability of the banking system and begin to withdraw their funds, leading to a potential liquidity crisis. This could cause a credit crunch, making it difficult for businesses and individuals to access loans, which could further harm economic activity.
Thirdly, if the small regional bank holds a significant amount of deposits or assets, its failure could lead to a loss of wealth for depositors and shareholders, which could lead to decreased consumer spending and a decrease in investment.
Finally, if the small regional bank is a major player in a particular industry or sector, its failure could have broader implications for the economy. For example, if the bank is a significant lender in the real estate sector and fails, it could lead to a collapse in the housing market and cause a broader economic downturn.
In summary, while the failure of a small regional bank may not directly cause an economic collapse, it could have significant ripple effects throughout the financial system and broader economy, potentially leading to a more severe economic crisis.

A small regional bank is like a piggy bank, where people put their money. If the bank fails, it's like the piggy bank breaks and all the money falls out. This can make people sad and worried because they lost their money. It can also make it hard for people to borrow money to buy things they need. This can make the economy slow down or stop working well, like a toy that stops working when it's broken.

bro did you melt the fuck down over a meme?
Spreading lies isn't okay just because it is in the form of a "meme". Memes can be just as useful for spreading disinformation as anything else. In fact, part of the reason why he posted it here is because he believed it was accurate. Not because he is a dum dum. But because they are extremely effective propaganda tools. From what I can tell, from reading threads that ARE full of dum dums... Is that they spread these memes thinking they are accurate... And then if someone points out why it is wrong they deflect saying "lololol it is just a meme" but continue to believe what the meme said. It is rather pathetic.
