1639328265986015232 | @M_C_Klein I can’t square Powells solemn affirmations that there must be pain to end inflation (when discussing unemployment) with their furious effort to prevent pain in the banks and taking on their depreciated assets. | 5 |
1638551351369289728 | @M_C_Klein @IrvingSwisher This sounds insane when I write it down, but if the Fed is making a decision based on “secret knowledge” they should explicitly say “we’re making this decision based on secret knowledge”, the ambiguity is bad | 3 |

1640468949086400512 | @Read_N_Learn @M_C_Klein It is also hard not to notice that the guys in the best position to know about the credit quality of the loans were the ones who were panicking most about the uninsured deposits, something I should have noticed more at the time. | 2 |

1639974016839557120 | @M_C_Klein @StevenKelly49 I wouldn't say red herring and I don't think Steven is saying that either. The big problem was a run-prone liability structure but it's possible to manage that if you keep the asset side liquid and don't run too much interest rate risk. There was synergy between the two mistakes | 33 |
1641497797378691072 | @M_C_Klein @jeuasommenulle That's my impression as well | 31 |
1638620514577948678 | @M_C_Klein It seems to violate the laws of economics that if you're an uninsured depositor at a bank, there is an option available to you that pays you more and also is safer. Seems like a free l unch. | 21 |
1640459736620609536 | @M_C_Klein Where is jeroen dijsselbloem when we need him? | 19 |
1641508575666225153 | @TheStalwart @M_C_Klein @jeuasommenulle It was important to them for it to be a story about general banking sector disaster induced by the Fed and not an idiosyncratic startup sector disaster induced by skittish VC herd behavior | 18 |
