No to bail out. This is moral hazard for others to take stupid decision

[carter]

I blame the FEDs for this, because in the end they benefit by either buying off the failed banks cheaper or something. The fed can print credit as long as someone will borrow it into existence, but they cannot print product (or production).

[cypressbutane]

so the bank took out a lot of investments and then the market changed.. sounds like they failed because they were bad at their job

[cayminlast]

Have we learned nothing? "NO Bailouts", let the chips fall where they may. It would be using funds from taxpayers who were not involved and never consented to their money being used in this way.

[BeDangerousGroup]

Actually it's the opposite. SVB is the perfect bank to actually fail. There is not a banking crisis like in 08. This was a very specific bank that needed much better management. Denying a bailout would send a message to other institutions to get your management structure to a more competent place!

[TheRiiiight]

They played stupid risky games and if it had played out right they weren't going to share their profits with us. NO BAILOUTS!

[williammathis]

No, no, …..NO. No more of MY MONEY to be used bailing out these freaking crooks!!!

[ADobbin]

Stop talking about bailing out banks. They will never learn if you keep rescuing them from their stupidity.

The negative impact of SVB and SI debacles has been reflected in the regional bank ETF (KRE) which has witnessed a decline of over 20%. This event has triggered contagion effects, dragging the entire market lower. However, historically speaking, a localized and narrow contagion of this nature presents an opportune time to invest in strong, financially stable companies with substantial cash reserves on their balance sheets.

NO BAILOUTS! When a depositor is overdrawn, the Bank gives us an overdraft fee, not a bail out, so, whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

[samueldickerson]

No more bank bailouts! Let em' fail.

[keaering]

0 Bailouts for these ghouls, let them sink.

[thinkbeforeyoutype]

00:12 “SVB stock HALTED before the market open today.”
Whatever to happen to let the FREE MARKET decide? This is NOT capitalism at all!

[LuisJayala]

No bailouts !!!! Let em fail. Pay back the people not the corporation.

[WQQKIE]

Stop it with the bailout, let them fail, nobody bails me out when I get laid off

[veracityseven]

SVB was also the bank holding the largest bag when the FTX debacle occurred.

[WK_lad]

I'd love to have my taxes bail out a gambler with money issues 😒

[lsinghr]

But providing some help to students with loans is going too far?

Bailing out a bank that couldn’t hack it in the free market is reasonable?

[stephenmather]

there is absolutely no reason to bail out SVB, its is not a systemic risk to the financial system.

[JR-cmsh]

depositors know the FDIC insurance only goes up to 250K. anything above that is your own risk and responsibility. You CHOSE to park your millions and billions with a bank run by degenerates taking extremely high risks. NO BAILOUTS FOR BANKS OR WALL STREET
