"Thick as Thieves"
A group of financial institutions are in talks to deposit $30 billion in First Republic
in what’s meant to be a sign of confidence in the banking system, sources told CNBC’s David Faber.
The deal is not done yet, the sources said, and the amounts were a moving target. The plan does not call for an acquisition of First Republic.

First Republic Bank execs sold $12M in stock before SVB crash
First Republic Bank executives sold nearly $12 million worth of its stock in just the past three months at prices averaging just below $130 a share.
I bought First Republic yesterday b/c I think it's totally overblown hyper reaction. Half of the assets on it's balance sheet are mortgages with LTV of 60% and really good average of 750 credit scores. I don't risk more than 2% on any ticker, but I'm ok with the risk here. Time will tell the story, but their deposit base isn't stupidly constructed like SIVB which was ripe to get knocked over. I'm waiting and wondering if the Theil/Ackman shorted SIVB b/f they blew the whistle.First Republic Bank execs sold $12M in stock before SVB crash

Well, you aren’t powerless but there isn’t enough sheeple ready to do anything about it. The fact AOC went from barely making it bartending to being worth over $29mil in a few short years working for the people should tell you all you ever need to know! Or is she? Might be BS, might not!

That's what Republicans love to do. Right now is their preferred position of being in charge of nothing, doing the peacock
dance to show how tought they are, then blame the other side when things [continue to] go awry. Same with democrats.
We're fucked, and the UniParty will ensure that.

Are you saying that laws set forth by the ruling class aren’t for our safety and that the men dressed in blue don’t serve and protect us? Who would have thought.
What I can’t understand is that everyone believes politicians are trash yet the people willing to work for these parasites are somehow seen as decent and given the benefit of the doubt. Interesting.

Where did the rest come from?

Sounding like the ripple effect is stretching farther than the banking industry. Seems there is a lot of inventory verification going on.

And again we see banking regulators in government are never held to account for their failings in this disaster.
Also, I truly cannot understand why the all-knowing Fed has decided that ratcheting up rates at the pace they have been, is a good thing.

Maybe mentioned, what would be the easiest way for a even smaller group to own the entire industry?

Comparing Banks failing and interest rate increases are like comparing apples to oranges.
A basic question "Who is suffering and why" ?
I'm going to pull a number our of thin air. 90% of Americans have nothing to lose when mega banks fail.
On the other hand 90% of Americans are being squeezed by inflation (groceries, taxes, insurance, auto repairs, etc)
Raising interest rates will bring down inflation (Paul Volcker)
Bailing out mega banks is eventually going to be placed on the backs of American's.
Think they might be grooming Warren for a run in 2024
