Or have banks in their 401(k) index funds. |
My accounts at one of the banks on this list are well below the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit, so I'm really not at all worried about what would happen even in the somewhat unlikely event that it did fail. The same bank holds my mortgage, so who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and whoever buys their assets out of receivership will forget about me. |
Luckily this link is broken, but articles like this are so irresponsible. Like yelling fire in a crowded theatre. |
Interesting... NP I clicked on the link much earlier this morning and it was working then. The article was very little substance. More akin to clickbait. I agree it was irresponsible. |
This is a broader issue where the cancer can spread. There is a gigantic issue if the fed has to bail out multiple banks;”: 1 execution, fed is horrible at executing on anything 2.money coming out of the fed is indeed bottomless, but at a very heavy price 3.More bail outs will cause generational harm to our economy. This is no minor issue, especially with our the self sabatoging misery porn they will just keep the cycle of panic going. |
This is not how it works. How soon do you think your money would become available? If we are talking a run of nearly a dozen banks your money would be locked up for a long time. The government is more likely to “forget” about your bank account than the loans that get sold. Collecting is much more important to the stakeholders than paying out what is owed to the peasants. |
So right now it’s coming out of FDIC fund with plans to top it off with higher assessments. Essentially this one bank run drained the insurance. If we have more bank runs, it becomes a problem in that it has to come from… somewhere else… like TARP |
Exactly. Irresponsible click bait journalism |
The US government made $15B in profit on TARP. |
Isn't Ally based in Hong Kong? |
🤦🏽♀️ |
The great irony was it was George W. Bush's foray into socialism! Literal socialism! |
Ally began its existence as GMAC. You can't get more American than GM. |
No https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ally_Financial This whole thread is coming across as trying to cause a panic over internet banks. Even the clickbait article that was probably pulled since there was no substance to it at all. |
But if they had taken that fund and paid off outstanding debt, they would have saved $70B in interest. |
