    I keep seeing the headline "Janet Yellen says Banking System is Sound".

    That is so hilarious to me every time I see it.

    Here's something the media isn't covering. The press conference held about the merger practically admits that UBS is now stuck with the GME swaps that blew up Archegos, then blew up Credit Suisse. UBS chair says they will start unwinding CS's (paraphrase) "risky swaps positions" that do not line up with UBS conservative goals. His comments track exactly with my posts on the GME/meme stock short positions via swaps that CS got stuck with. Now UBS is stuck with them. Huge backstops via central banks now? hmmm

    GME is just not that important. Big night tomorrow though. Does GME finally collapse to where it belongs in the single digits? Or does it get a stay of execution for a little longer? It sure looks like it is in the death spiral. A gap down and perhaps it is lights out. Would be a healthy sign for the market to see the last bit of bubble excess wiped out

    SHANGHAI/HONG KONG, March 20 (Reuters) - Credit Suisse told staff its wealth assets are operationally separate from UBS for now, but once they merged clients might want to consider moving some assets to another bank if concentration was a concern, according to an internal memo.

    The memo, dated Sunday and seen by Reuters, gave talking points to Credit Suisse (CSGN.S) staff for client conversations after a historic Swiss-backed acquisition of the troubled bank by UBS Group (UBSG.S).

    Yes, they are regulars on CNBC shows as talking heads. I don't watch CNBC anymore because I got tired of paying to be gaslit by Wall St, and I've mostly figured out their big scam psyop, but there's still no denying that placing DEI/ESG above profitability (which those ladies do usually subtly advocate for) is a recipe for business destruction, probably intentionally even. Go woke go broke....less competition and more consolidation is end result.

    Perhaps not that important individually but what if the swaps basket is a bunch of "dying brick-n-mortar meme stocks", not just GME? GME was one that wasn't expected to survive but just turned profitable and has an investor base most companies would kill for and has also been (naked) shorted, thanks to CS being the shorting counterparty to Archegos swaps, many times the float. (Never mind that the available float of shares is being locked away via direct registration and thus not borrow-able for further shorting.) UBS now needs to unwind the swaps somehow. Surely here are other nasty positions that CS held, also, which UBS is now on the hook for. This also explains the super low valuation offered for CS and the huge central bank backstops and central bank currency swaps pledged.

    I can't say I predicted it, because I admitted it was a guess, but I did post several times that I thought the fed might try doing QE while still raising rates. Now it looks like that's exactly what they're doing.

    I think they're doing this for 2 reasons. One is that everyone is focused on the rate hikes and not the QE. So you can make tiny rate hikes while doing massive amounts of QE and make it look like you're fighting inflation. The other reason is QE has an immediate positive effect by saving the banks, but the negative effect of rising prices may not show up for years.

    My guess is the bank crisis is going to appear to be solved but behind the scenes the fed's balance sheet is going to be expanding massively as it puts out fires. I think we're going to see big swings in the balance sheet as new problems come up. It may be stable for a few months, then expand by a trillion in a few weeks.

    Treasuries were paying higher interest rates until the SVB collapse. Now CDs are finally trying to compete (and raise capital).

    APMEX sold over 100 million in bullion in the week after the first failed bank. Amazing that they had that available. Silver still needs about a twenty percent investor increase to push it but gold could easily hit a new all time high this year.

    It's obvious that paper markets are working overtime to keep spot below the psychological barrier of $2000 and have been for a while now. Laughably obviously even, as if people don't notice, while what's still physically available is snatched up by CB's and rich folks at suppressed prices.

    The entire market of commodities is being manipulated. To be honest, I'm not sure how they do it, but the evidence is clear that it's being done. With all the talk of putting batteries in everything, the prices of lithium, cobalt, and copper should be going through the roof! There is simply not enough to go around. And yet, high prices in those materials would trigger alarm bells that would signal the end of TPTB's plans. So can't have that.
