"We know we're about to see bank consolidation — big banks eating little banks. And that means less competition. More consolidation means more government control. So what are they going to do with that control? Well, all things being equal, if people don't start making a lot of noise and exerting an awful lot of pressure, it'll mean digital currency."
History of financial shocks shows this banking tumult could be a buying opportunity...
"Now we're at the endgame because the US dollar is in all corners of the world; the debt that's been created using something called foreign-dollar-denominated debt, and that's choking the credit system. That's why Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia are all meeting to delink from the dollar. Basically, we're at the end of the US Federal Reserve Currency as the world reserve currency. And what you're going to see is our government and the powers that be in this country tried to save that. So whatever we see going on is a fight for who's going to control the world reserve currency status going forward."

Signature Bank execs starred in cringey Broadway-style musical sketch video...

Derivatives: Types, Considerations, and Pros and Cons... The term derivative refers to a type of financial contract whose value is dependent on an underlying asset, group of assets, or benchmark. A derivative is set between two or more parties that can trade on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). These contracts can be used to trade any number of assets and carry their own risks. Prices for derivatives derive from fluctuations in the underlying asset. These financial securities are commonly used to access certain markets and may be traded to hedge against risk. Derivatives can be used to either mitigate risk (hedging) or assume risk with the expectation of commensurate reward (speculation). Derivatives can move risk (and the accompanying rewards) from the risk-averse to the risk seekers.

U.S. moves to protect all deposits at Silicon Valley Bank in bid to stem wider fallout... The U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said the government would back Silicon Valley Bank deposits beyond the federally insured ceiling of $250,000. The decision addressed concerns around the fate of uninsured funds held at the Santa Clara, California-based bank — the country’s 16th largest — which had $209 billion in assets and more than $175 billion in deposits. “Depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13,” the agencies said in a joint statement Sunday evening. “No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer.” Senior management of SVB will be removed, the statement said. Hours after the federal intervention Sunday, the British bank HSBC said it would buy the SVB’s British assets for just £1 ($1.21), in a deal facilitated by the British government and the central Bank of England. As of Friday, SVB U.K. had loans worth around £5.5 billion ($6.66 billion) and deposits of around £6.7 billion ($8.11 billion).
What Is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)?... A special purpose vehicle, also called a special purpose entity (SPE), is a subsidiary created by a parent company to isolate financial risk. Its legal status as a separate company makes its obligations secure even if the parent company goes bankrupt. For this reason, a special purpose vehicle is sometimes called a bankruptcy-remote entity. If accounting loopholes are exploited, these vehicles can become a financially devastating way to hide company debt, as seen in 2001 in the Enron scandal.
