    I've long thought that we spent up our cushion in 2008-9. I was amazed we could come up with the COVID excesses spending.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I think there’s a good chance the Swiss government would prevent that.

            What's with Credit Suisse? It seems to get into trouble more frequently than other international investment mega banks. :man-shrugging:

              I'm not making any decisions until I hear what Jim Cramer has to slur about it.

              I was only joking

                  It's hard to believe that somebody as serene as that guy could possibly have high blood pressure.

                    It was one of the few major banks in the world that needed and received no government money during the financial crisis.

                    But that was when I was there.

                                  Cute and all but:

                                  1. Banks like that $3 overdraft, they get to charge her $20 for it.

                                  2. SVB didn’t get money. The executives all lose their jobs and the shareholders are zeroed out. The depositors got made whole.

                                    Pending investigation, perhaps there should be claw-backs of their recent performance-based bonuses and stock awards too. They should not get to keep short-term gains from poor risk management practices.

                                      There's no need to pay bank or credit card fees if you have a phone. Call them and take a position and they'll drop them.
