I'm back, briefly, to combat the chronic shortage of hyperbole and rhetorical questions on this board:

The SVB wave tripped a tsunameter. Losses from bonds and mortgages look to be wiping out the balance sheets of many banks. Without an explicit guarantee from the US Govt it looks to me like the whole regional bank system could crash within a week. I don't even know how the SIBs could continue normal operations if the system is imploding around them. Providing liquidity to solvent banks threatened with potential runs is something that most people understand and agree with. Providing capital to insolvent banks is a lot less popular.

Are we about to have another "This sucker could go down" moment?

Isn't the only short-term solution to ramp up QE again? Flood the market with cash and drive down interest rates?

Is this the start of another boom?
