Those higher yield t-bills are a great way for banks to make money, too. SVB is a case of misreading the trend and getting caught out. I see a ton of banks offering CDs at half a percent below the matching T-bills rate....

That is a shift over the last few decades. The company made its early money by buying undervalued companies at a low price, but came to understand over time that long-term, it is almost-irrelevant at what price you buy a truly wonderful com
