Yeah fair. I think MTM helps here because it forces the regulators hands a bit. If all these banks had to go out and raise capital in the summer and fall of 2022, because their regulator comes in and say "Hey, your undercapitalized, fix that.", then they probably don't go under 6 months later.
Where I think we need to agree to disagree is you seem to think the run it's self is the problem, whereas I believe the insolvency which spooked the herd is the issue.
- bagacrap 3y agoAnnouncing a capital raise is what pushed SVB over the edge (triggered the run). I don't see how doing that in summer or fall of last year would have helped. If anything their position was slightly improved by the time of the run as compared to October when the ten year yield was peaking.
