Jeff Cox @JeffCoxCNBCcom _____________________________ Peter Schiff made a great point on Friday: #Gold is up $65 today and gold stocks are up 6%, yet @CNBC hasn't even mentioned either. It's laughable watching their coverage. The degree of ignorance of investments and basic economics displayed by anchors and quests is amazing. It's hard to imagine a more clueless group.

U.S. Banking System ‘Is Sound,’ Yellen theory vs rubber meeting road & unchained animal spirits - ..."Even if only half of uninsured depositors decide to withdraw, almost 190 banks are at a potential risk of impairment to insured depositors, with potentially $300 billion of insured deposits at risk. If uninsured deposit withdrawals cause even small fire sales, substantially more banks are at risk. Overall, these calculations suggest that recent declines in bank asset values very significantly increased the fragility of the US banking system to uninsured depositor runs."

Just to be clear Bonds are just a colloquial references I use in place of G-Secs, which sometimes are misrepresented (Tuna Bonds), and misunderstood (Noob investors) and sometimes even misheard as carrying undertones not worthy of mention... Who knows what they gonna think of next... Prolly, Zebra Bonds, marketing donkeys painted with white stripes!

Mtl JP 18:43 GMT 03/16/2023 - My Profile The first peice of advice I can give to the retail public is buy government bonds, like that no more stress for the public and moreover much less stress for the central bankers, they need not to table anymore unenforceable legislation as all of the public's money is banked directly with them by way of retail public participation in bond purchases. I was never able to justify 99% things I wrote here but time and the markets have been proven me right.

maybe ... more so today than ever before jeff cox the water carrier for jerome: - * The Federal Reserve likely will approve a quarter-percentage-point interest rate increase next week, according to market pricing and many Wall Street experts. * A rate increase would come just over a week after other regulators rolled out an emergency lending facility to halt a crisis of confidence in the banking industry. * “This might be one of those times where there’s a difference between what they should do and what I think they will do. They definitely should not tighten policy,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. Fed poised to approve quarter-point rate hike next week, despite market turmoil

New York Post Editorial Board: Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions Spot the difference: “During the financial crisis . . . [banks] were bailed out . . . We’re not going to do that again.” — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Sunday vs. “[Yellen’s action] fully protects all depositors.” — Treasury, Federal Reserve and FDIC statement, Sunday (hours later) -------- * Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told senators that government refunds of uninsured deposits will not be extended to every bank that fails, only those that pose systemic risk to the financial system. * Yellen has been at the center of an emergency program to refund billions of dollars in uninsured deposits held by clients of the failed Silicon Valley Bank and the shuttered Signature Bank. * But with markets recovering somewhat, lawmakers were concerned these backstops could become a new norm for big banks, giving “too big to fail” banks an unfair advantage over community lenders. Treasury Secretary Yellen says not all uninsured deposits will be protected in future bank failures

MTL If indeed $ 74 billion of SVB loans are to buy and carry securities then this will cost the US taxpayer a lot of money. This also correlates to the story that SVB gaves those very risky loan only if they got warrants in the companies.
