Those pronouncements may have been very premature. This AM (5/4/23), there are at least 3 banks on the verge of collapse - PACW, WAL, FHN (after the deal with TD fell through). The same issues remain - underwater HTM Treasuries/MBS and CRE holdings, fast bank runs. As the deal collapse of TD + FHN shows, other banks may not step in now to buy shaky regionals because it may be better for those regionals to first go through the FDIC takeover, and then a fire sale. There is talk/rumors on Twitter again that the Treasury is looking into extending the FDIC deposit insurance to contain this regional banking crisis/contagion. Regional bank KRE remains under pressure although now I have a low-ball limit-order to BUY. www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/pacwwww.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/walwww.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/fhnAccessible from Morningstar (M*), Mutual Fund Observer (MFO), Facebook ("at"yogibearbull), Twitter ("at"YBB_Finance).
