SVB was the 16th largest US bank, Burry seems to think another bank will fail soon......

 

'Big Short' Michael Burry Warns of Another Major Bank Collapse

 

You can always tell when an economy is on the precipice of faltering as banks start failing first.  In 2007 banks were failing and the unemployment rate was still under 5% (reached 5% in December of 2007).  A year later in December 2008 unemployment was 7.3%, December 2009 was 9.9%.  

 

The government spending fueled "Biden Boom" is an irresponsible flash in the pan that will be forgotten a year from now once unemployment shoots over 5%.

JP Morgan or BofA seem like good large candidates.

 

SVB is the second largest bank to collapse in US history. Its AUM represent more than 55% of all of the assets in banks that collapsed during the 2008 crisis.

The only thing Billsy is right about in this thread is that the woman above isn't the right person to hold accountable,  she is from the SVB UK entity,  which has a separate balance sheet. The US bank is the one that tanked, here is their cheif risk officer:

HSBC UK is acquiring Silicon Valley Bank UK for a symbolic £1. The deal comes after a tense weekend of frantic negotiations by the U.K. government, regulators and a suite of other potential suitors in the wake of the U.K. business, a subsidiary of the troubled U.S. entity, entering insolvency procedures on Friday.

The UK bank was seemingly tanked by association,  unfortunately.  Not sure why it's a laughing matter, @Chris farley.

The investor class is doing well in this economy. so are the corporations that get the lion's share of the corporate welfare spending bills. But that money is just going back into the shareholders pockets (investor class) through dividends and stock buybacks.

 

inflation makes the GDP look good, till it doesnt.
