    Shwab has a LOT of cash on hand.
    This is a buying opportunity.
    The panic did potential investors a favor.

    Sorry Meredith;
    I don’t make the rules.
    I just look at incentives and consequences.
    The question is whether you contribute to commons.
    You call it thinkingn for yourselves, but what you mean is thinking selfishly and empathically and not systematically. Men do the opposite. We evovled these cognitive differences before we developed language and reason. And we have those brains and bodies.
    It doesn’t matter if you think you’re right, or if your instincts and intuitions feel right, if the consequences of doing so are a matter of human survival.
    All female instincts and intuitions without the responsibility of children, appear to result in hyperconsumption and hyperselfishness and evasion of responsiblity for the commons, at the cost of society and polity, and population necessary for civilization.
    Men can live comfortably on almost nothing. We built civilization to attract and maintain women so that we could obtain sex, affection, and care (and status).
    Women are checking out of marriage and childrearing, and men are checking out of society economy and politics and the result is playing out as we’d expect it would.
    Sorry, but for all intents and purposes we’ve produced mass sterilization.
    And the economy of redistribution depends on that not happening. Look at japan and south korea now, and china tomorrow, and germany thereafter.
    You aren’t ‘thinking’
    You’re just feeling.

    Just a bit of a tweak.
    If a bank is holding treasuries (svb was), and those treasuries are illiquid because teh Fed raised rates to 5%,
    It’s a fed created crisis. So either have the fed just buy them back at the original price (not a problem) and re-sell at 5%, and have the FED take the hit, OR, instead of taking the hit, take bank stock (as you’re suggesting) as compensation, nationalizing the bank, and don’t take the hit.

    Wasnt the rules.
    Was the fed selling 2% bonds and then 5% interest rates.
    The predictability of that from the time the bonds were purchased to their maturity was questionable.
    The fed COULD just buy bonds held at 2 and resell at 5%, or convert 2% to 5% and solve the liquidity…

    Some of those banks are going to enter price territory that is very tempting.

    @quantifyqualify
    FYI:
    WHY IS WHITENESS SO HARD: BECAUSE IT’S COSTLY.

    If you make a list of every country, and you list every bit of even vaguely useful data about the people in each country in a huge spreadsheet you would learn that there is one number that explains all the rest.

    (a) There were four speciation events as man evolved and spread around the world.
    (b) Each event increased local neoteny (domestication)
    (c) Increases in neoteny exchange aggression and sexual maturity for agency and neural plasticity.
    (e) As a result, the different continental speciation events resulted in different class distributions.
    (d) The result is differences in average of approximately 75, 85, 100, 105 and everything in between, with 100 being European (central).
    (e) In the agrarian age, every civilization developed institutions to assist with social order at scale.
    (f) There are only three means of coercion. So there are only three axes of institutions Social (religion, feminine, non-aggression), reciprocal (trade, contract, law, neutral) and Forceful (state, military, masculine)
    (g) The order of these institutions determines the strongest, next strongest, and weak or failed institution.
    (h) each of these institutions adapts at different speeds.
    (i) Each civilization develops a group strategy, metaphysics, myth, history, a system of logic and argument, and institutions of intergenerational persistence.
    (j) These strategies, institutions, and demographics are self-reinforcing over the millennia. And they are very resistant to change.
    (k) And they demand vastly different responsibilities from each member of each society, and each class or caste.
    So whether genetic, class, or cultural, or some combination thereof, the trust necessary for western high trust civilization seems impossible for others to develop unless they fully integrate and can achieve middle-class status.
    Add that our postwar privilege of being the only civilization left standing, raised laboring and working classes into the lower class, then the 70s ended that privilege, and the 90s exhausted it, and 2010s backtracked it, then you have people in the states (and Europe) who are ‘not happy’ with the responsibility they must bear, given the returns they will no longer obtain.
    Worse, the Marxist-pomo-woke cult that James is disrobing in gory detail consists of little more than promising that this genetic, class, cultural, and economic reality is oppression rather than their unfitness for competition in the new world normal. And worse, they vaguely sense (correctly) that over the next decade or two it’s going to get far, far worse, and the world far, far poorer. Because the USA cannot afford to maintain the global trade system if we must compete with other civilizations that want to end it.

    That’s enough for now
    And no this wasn’t any effort to write. 😉
    And Grammarly largely kept up even if it slowed the keyboard response time. 😉
    -Cheers
