I don’t put a lot of faith in Moody’s ratings for a number of reasons.

As far as your claim “big money left” why would BofA, Citi, JPM etc just deposit $20B if they suspected their deposits would disappear?

You're way overthinking this. Look at banking stocks right now, they all got slammed because of the bank issues. They helped FRC because if FRC went bust it would take them down even further. They didn't help FRC out of love, they helped FRC to save their own asses because they knew the government / the fed would have let FRC blow up.

I believe you’re underthinking it. The prevailing narrative as these regional banks were collapsing was to get your $ into the largest banks. If anything, the more regional banks that went under, the more depositors would flee to the big boys… of course they didn’t do it for love, they did it because they see FRC as a low-risk, short-term-high-reward investment because it’s being unfairly lumped into the same group as SVB and Signature (who both a had a much different, irredeemable type of exposure)

With every banking crisis comes increased regulation which is bad for business and profits. Even if the big boys got more deposits, they would get kneecapped by the government and any new regulations will last a lifetime.

Right. Because in 2009 after everything collapsed the Banks went bankrupt and definitely had very strict regulations that were ruthlessly enforced up until today…

By lifetime I think you mean the next Republican president.

They’d all rather be depositors than shareholders

Their deposits aren’t insured. Less risk than being a shareholder (in the meantime) but definitely not zero risk

I thought fed said they’d continue to insure over 250k at banks whose failures might hurt the economy (too big to fail). I’ll bet the big banks with all their political control are sure their money falls in that category. If nothing else, their massive deposits brought FRC into that category.

That’s an awful lot of speculation and the Fed has received increasing backlash from bailing out SVB

It’s been opaque at best. Powell and Yellen literally were saying opposite things last week

I had only seen Yellen say “only the big bois “. Thanks for pointing that out. I still think you underestimate the power of these banks. Fed meets at banks’ offices when it hits the fan. Not the other way around.
