FDIC does not keep enough money on hand to fully insure all banks, you know... they really only have about $128b which is < 2% on the entire US banking industry.

If it got to that, then you have to add whatever they print out as a bailout “to restore faith in the American banking system.”

Let’s unpack this.

It’s not fear mongering, it’s information sharing. I can’t help if someone is fearful based on their perception of information. Sure there could always be more context, but that’s subjective.

No where did I mention or imply “hidden” losses in this chart. Nor did I equate unrealized to hidden losses. Again, this is your bias making an assumption the chart or article never mentioned. It’s simply showing exactly what you mentioned in the first few paragraphs regarding their HTM securities were not meant to be sold, but now they have an increasing gap in their securities valuation and have an increasingly larger unrealized loss position. This issue plus how the bank responds to handling their situation is what spooks investors and in turn depositors.

Is it possible to scale the dots based on size of total deposits?

Square_Tea4916 OP t1_jc3cpau wrote

Yeah that’s possible. I’d really want to see how much of their deposits are from accounts under $250k vs Commercial.

Notice the lack of recognizable banks doing normal business.

Unfortunately, that says more about your familiarity with large regional banks than anything. At least six of the 50 largest banks in the US are in that diagram (Fifth Third, KeyCorp, Ally, Comerica, Banco Popular, Synovus), plus two more that are top 50 sized but excluded from the list for technical reasons (First Financial, Zion's). All but First Financial are traditional banks that have been around for more than 100 years.

So is the top left quadrant less risky? Guessing based on failures in bottom right quadrant.

Fifth Third Bancorp?

I’d shut it down just for having a stupid name.

Stupid question, First Republic- yea or nay?

Does this only take into account assets for sale? Fifth third ceo said on cnbc today his bank holds all securities as available for sale. So does this chart penalize this banks while obscuring banks shifting securities to assets held to maturity?

Thank god the republicans got rid of Dodd-Frank (which was toothless anyway).
