Considering the value of SVB stock until yesterday, no reasonable risk assessment would have found anything actionable until yesterday.

Payroll being delayed a few days is indeed annoying, but it's not the end of the world.




Yeah but you have a lot of companies who money is stuck with SVB. Not one of them decided to check out a financial statement for the company holding their money.

They grew their HTM portfolio from ~10b to ~100b in two years. Then you had the Fed come out and say hey we are increasing rates and we aren't going to stop.

No one at these companies well like hey maybe this will become a problem and we should protect our cash.
