FWIW, SVB didn't go broke because of subprime loans. They had a bank run.

  They mismanaged their risk. You make it sound like they did nothing wrong.

    Can the other banks handle the same thing that happened to SVB?
    • hef19898 3y ago
      From memory, yes. At least better, since SVB had an unusual high amount of uninsured deposits and Edit: other banks have more short term investments to cover withdrawls that were marketed to market, meaning they were more like cash equivalents than the long term stuff SVB had to sell at huge losses. And those losses kind of killed SVB.
