Easy: the sellers of bank stocks fled to big cap tech. Almost dollar for dollar the selling in banks = 'd the increase in market cap of the FANNG stocks.

Also, the Fed just injected $1 trillion, that money is going to risk assets. BUT - look at 2007. Bear Stearns died in March and then Lehman didnt go until Fall. In the middle some techs rallied. History repeats itself.

In terms of direct revenues not much. However, remember every clearing firm can loan out and borrow against customers securities. With 7 trillion in customer assets even an inflow of 100b wouldn’t initially move earnings. The way I look at it is that Schwab just saved a shit ton in marketing and has tons of new clients to sell the rest of their products too. Down the road it should produce gains.
