That's ironic. I am actually considering US treasuries; I went to the bank last week and the best they could offer was 2.89% .I think the market is going lower for a bit, so keeping an eye on the positions I missed.

Unintended consequences. Its tragic that for months concerns have been expressed about the consumer being tapped out but SIVB could be the canary in the coal mine. I wonder how much bank equity has evaporated from securities losses coupled with deposits vanishing in the wake of the fed raising interest rates suddenly. I suspect the fed are flat out afraid to release a white paper on how much damage they have now done to the financial system. I wonder if stress testing has taken into this account this scenario or will everyone end up with egg on their faces. I think that we should put up a sign at the federal reserve - " this is where it all went to hell in a handbasket" I never thought I would say this in my lifetime but now I can envision long lines of people trying to get their money out of banks.
