The news reports that the Bank of Silicon Valley has gone under. Biggest bank failure in several decades! Are we sure we believe what President Biden said about the health of the economy?
They did promise to go carbon neutral.
The economy is healthy and in great shape; according to those getting China Joe stimulus checks, school loan bailouts, illegal alien payouts, welfare recipient support, activist group contributions,………
… Newsum too!
Or maybe regulatory oversight may not be a bad idea. I understand that SVB was the sixteenth largest bank in the US. In 2018 Republicans pushed hard for Senate Bill 2155 which increased the the oversight threshold from 50 Billions to 250 Billions, “effectively deregulating 25 of the 38 biggest banks in the United States.”
.

.
SVB had over 50% of its cash in bonds. We all know bonds have an inverse relationship with interest rates. When the Biden group started raising interest rates it was clear it would continue. This is poor, unresponsive management on the part of SVB. Regulators aren’t responsible for poor management.
Actually, regulators will make sure that there is enough liquidity. That’s exactly the problem what caused SVB to collapse.
Bonds are liquid investments. They may be bought and sold on the secondary market daily. The only thing making them appear less liquid is the holders reluctance to take a loss. They could have starting selling a year ago and mitigated their losses. They could have used a Put and Call strategy on the open market to mitigate those losses. Instead they chose to ride the horse into the wall. However their corporate officers dumped their own stock just before hitting said wall. Poor and unscrupulous management.
Can’t blame the regulators for this one.
The bank failure was not initially caused by a liquidity problem.
Banks need to keep a certain amount of liquid securities to maintain suitable levels of capital. They do this by purchasing US Treasuries and holding them. Treasuries are very liquid with no problem selling them. The problem in this case was that the value of those treasuries fell so much due to rising interest rates (remember, rates go up and Treasury value falls). The bank was forced to “mark to market” their treasuries instead of holding them on the books at face value. The drop in paper value cause SVB to be undercapitalized by nearly $2 billion. They tried to sell stock to plug the hole but that effort failed. Then came a run on SVB where they didn’t have enough $ on hand to pay off all of their creditors. Next came the Feds to take over the bank.
It will be interesting to see who actually gets made whole and when that is accomplished. Generally, individual depositors are only covered for $250,000 per SS#. If you are over $250,000, then you might be screwed.
Oh boy I guess some folks need to let Forbes know that they have no clue about business.
.
Why did Silicon Valley Bank collapse?
This was simply an old-school liquidity crisis. SVB’s underlying investments haven’t failed. They’re prices have just gone down. Because of the uncertain economic conditions, SVB has seen a lot of their clients looking to get their hands on their money.

JWB conveniently omitted that Senate Bill 2155 couldn’t have passed without Democratic support.
It’s simple math: Equity + Inclusion + ESG + Climate Change = Bankrupt. Certainly there is a better compromise to achieve individual goals and avoid the current scorched earth trajectory.
You said it all right there. There isn’t a thing the woke progressives do that goes right. They are mad.
Bingo!
What Does ESG Mean for a Business?
Adopting ESG principles means that corporate strategy focuses on the three pillars of the environment, social, and governance. This means taking measures to lower pollution, CO2 output, and reduce waste. It also means having a diverse and inclusive workforce, at the entry-level and all the way up to the board of directors. ESG may be costly and time-consuming to undertake, but can also be rewarding into the future for those that carry it through.
This is why these investments a failing. Sounds good but doesn’t make a profit so if you invest in them your money goes down the drain.

Please allow me to paraphrase: “Hell in a hand cart” sums it up nicely.
I must say, I thought little obam would be the worst prez, but joe has so deliberately damaged the Republic, he is, without any challenge, the most God awful this country has seen. We have had the misfortune to live with the worst Speaker of the House (nutjob pelosi) and worst prez. Not sure if mcconnell is worst Senate Majority Leader ever (schumer is the oiliest), but cannot be much competition there. The Republic has been under assault from these 4 dinosaurs for 5 decades now. God help us!
@Jeff
Sad but true.
Joe is a hologram being manipulated by Obama to further socialist goals and to collapse
the economy. Create a crisis then a solution to gain control. It’s happening right now. I
can’t think of another description that fits the situation we’re in now better. Jobama Obiden
is being run by others to the detriment of the Republic. Intentionally.
PO’D
Nailed it!
Makes one wonder, he:
Is an absolute total moron?

Doesn’t care because he(and Hunter and Jim and…) got there’s, and some.
All the above? That’s what I’m going with.

Happy Saturday to all (well almost all) remember conservatives know best
Can anyone think of a reason why the Jan 6 footage shouldn’t be released to the public?
Rather Fox – a major news network – gets to vet the footage and allow just enough to be made public to keep their credibility with the “right.”
But is Fox substantially different from the media on the left? Both sides of MSM relentlessly pushed lock-downs and the war with Ukraine.
And now that Fox is throwing us a bone by showing that the Buffalo Man is innocent, they’re suddenly anti-establishment defenders of freedom?
Jan 6 and everything associated with it is a joke. Too many clowns, liars and bs’ers involved in the aftermath.
Comes right down to stupid irresponsible cops/security.
You would think you would be offended by a court that gave a man who did nothing but walk through the capitol four years in prison. That what happens when the government is corrupt. It is all for one reason to make Trump look like a crook. The same reason they refused to prepare for what they knew was coming. Every democrat in charge knew what was coming and they decided to let it happen because it will make Trump look like an anarchist.
Did the Democrats know what was coming on Jan 6? Or did they help create it – encouraging the chaos through agent provocateurs and reducing the police presence at the capitol?
Why did several Capitol police officers suicide in the weeks following Jan 6? Why was Officer Byrd not punished for murdering an unarmed protestor? How many people were actually waved in by the police?
Public access to the footage would ensure government accountability. Giving only mainstream media access to the footage ensures that a narrative will be created, the public distracted and the complete truth ignored.
My pick of the week was Jill Biden giving a man pretending to be a woman a medal for trying to be a woman on International Women’s Day. How much dumber can they get?
Buckle up, there are still a couple years to go. I do not think there is a bottom as to how low they can get.
Drag was pretty much adult comedy until the “dems” took office. I guess the “dems” wanted to be laughed at too.

I continue to feel like I’m living in a multiverse since there is such a polarization between political and social camps. I can’t believe that anyone believed the Covid narrative. And I’ve also heard neither could the folks who authored it. Big lawsuits now happening over the narrative so the chickens are coming home to roost. Thee may be some very rich folks who were looking forward to living in castles around the world but will have to settle with an 8×10 prison cell.
@Ricardoh
This is so disgustingly bad. Out of all the women in the world, this idiotic, extremely destructive administration couldn’t find a female with courage? Of course not!!! This administration can’t even define a woman. And as far as having courage…… apologetic Blinkin? What a joke.

Jill Biden is so mentally messed up she can’t even see straight. What she pushes a gender-wise and gets her husband to push his pathetic both of them should be committed.

‘Texas trooper issues stark travel warning to Americans after three women vanished crossing the border to visit a flea market – as it’s revealed more than 550 U.S. citizens are now missing in Mexico’
dailymail https://tinyurl.com/mtdby5d8
Just curious OG are you actually reading the articles you post here or just the headlines? The Daily Mail article links to a Washington Post article regarding the more than 550 U.S, citizens missing I’m not sure what you mean by “now” because the article only gives the details for three missing U.S. citizens and one is missing since 2008, the second one is missing since 2012 and the third one is missing since 2017, for the rest we don’t know since when they are missing from the article.
.
So don’t you think with the “now” you imply that these citizens vanished recently or not? I also don’t recall you being so upset about this in 2017?
.
Don’t get me wrong I think it is horrible what is and has happened, but not everything is a cheep partisan point.
@JWB
I read the story and it said the three women mentioned crossed the border to go to a flea market on Feb. 24, 2023.
My bad I should have asked about reading comprehension. Did you see that my comment related to the part about the more than 550 U.S. citizens having vanished?

Kamala Harris Brings Environmentalist Hysteria to New Low, Claims Climate is Causing This Illness Among Young People
I can almost picture the drug commercials now.
Envision it with me: A worried millennial walks through a smog-filled park, his/her/their/xir face fixed in a rictus of existential dread. Then comes the voice-over: “Do you have climate mental health issues?”
“Symptoms could include watching MSNBC for hours on end, worrying if your corgi is contributing to rising sea levels, and physically attacking your grandmother during Thanksgiving dinner for neither serving Tofurky nor giving a land acknowledgement to the Native Americans she stole her suburban flag lot from.
“Perhaps it’s time you ask your doctor if “KAMALA” is right for you.”
It sounds like a good drug name, doesn’t it? It also sounds like an inherently ludicrous woman one heartbeat away from the presidency who claims our children are facing “climate mental health” issues and don’t even know whether they can start a family or not.

Body cams show “outrageous misconduct by law enforcement. D.C. Metropolitan Police launched an aggressive and unnecessary offensive against the crowd assembled on the west lawn. Even though protesters were respecting police lines at the time, footage shows officers throwing stun grenades and other devices containing rubber bullets into the crowd beginning shortly after 1:00 p.m.” and that conduct enraged the crowd.
–
Inside the Capitol “police used batons to beat at least two women on the head resulting in injuries;” “excessive force caused the deaths of four supporters.”
–
There’s no evidence any officer was killed there and “there’s no evidence the reported suicides of other officers after January 6 were related to the protest.”
–
The claim that the protest was to affect the count was also bunk. “Congress was NOT voting to certify the electoral college results at the time,” in fact, as the Electoral Count Reform Act permitted, Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Paul Gosar “were in the process of disputing the election outcome in Arizona at the time” and Congress had adjourned to consider this.

I also think the bureaucrats calculating this inflation are way under estimating it. My bill at Safeway yesterday was a staggering $150 and if I had bought those same items at the start of Biden’s reign of terror it would have been much less than the 15 or 20 percent that they report as their official inflation.

Great thinking HP why get a vaccine if you could just risk your health/life getting infected to acquire natural immunity?
Thanks, as a great thinker I humbly acknowledge and accept your compliment.
Kinda funny, but not, made it 70 years with zero heart problems until 2 covid jabs.
Sorry to hear that OG. Hope you’re okay now.
Great thinking JWB. Get a monthly jab if that’s what you want. I don’t care.
But you will still eventually catch covid and achieve natural immunity.
The jab is nothing more than a prophylactic, like a condom. Use a condom and you can still get preggers. Get jabbed and you will still get covid.
Unfortunately the one million plus American who died from COVID were unable to comment on how much they enjoyed achieving natural immunity.
“the jab is nothing more than a prophylactic” ? So what would you want it to be?
Gotta love that leftist ‘rithmetic:
No accounting for those who died WITH covid but not FROM covid.
No accounting for those who died from the flu, as many thousands do every year.
Forget about the 99+ percent survival rate among healthy people.
Same old gaslighter in action…….again!

Governor Newsom is putting hydraulic jack manufacturers on notice: Far too many Catalytic Converter thieves are being crushed by defective hydraulic jacks. His new bill, entitled “Stop the Crush and Bob” is aimed at holding hydraulic jack and reciprocating saw manufacturers to account. It seems that one Catalytic Converter thief accidentally sawed through the wrong exhaust member rendering him shall we say foreshortened. Newsom commented, “Here in the nation state of California, we encourage every member to stand tall. And if you can’t, we’ll write you a check. Thanks for your, err support.”
SVB Gave how much to who?

It’s difficult to believe the defense department chose to release footage of the drone being drenched by Russian fuel. Don’t they think before releasing this stuff? Optics anyone?
Let me spell it out: The Russians just urinated all over the Biden administration.
Russia is testing the Biden Administration & Biden is failing.
“The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is now going after gas furnaces and gas hot water heaters.
From the SF Chronicle:
Bay Area regulators voted Wednesday to adopt rules to phase out the sale and installation of natural-gas furnaces and water heaters over the next eight years, one of the most ambitious plans in the country to replace gas appliances with electric alternatives.
The rules, approved by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, are meant to reduce air pollution from some of the worst home-appliance offenders. The main pollutants targeted are nitrogen oxides, or NOx, which can cause acid rain and smog as well as increase risk for asthma and other respiratory diseases.
People will be able to repair their gas appliances if they break — but the rules take effect when existing gas-powered furnaces or water heaters no longer work and need to be replaced. New construction will also be required to have zero-NOx — effectively, electric — furnaces and water heaters.”
At least these bureaucrats are leaving your gas stoves alone (for now).
Ambitious and Delusional apparently now mean the same thing. This isn’t a plan, it’s only a hypothetical list of rules and deadlines without addressing the obvious problem:
Where is all that new electricity going to come from?
How much additional pollution will be created during the building of new electricity sources?
What energy source will be used to operate those grids? And how dirty is it?
What’s the payback time in terms of capital invested and a reduction in pollution assuming there will be any?
California citizens deserve cogent answers to these questions. It’s called Underwriting.
Politicians aren’t interested in facts – 🖕.
Democrats – this monkey is on YOU!
To the politicians and democrats….
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
It’s like some perverse version of Field of Dreams where regulator’s goals, despite all facts, are based on hearing voices, “if you stop it you will succeed.”
