Just remember, the privately owned "public benefit" entity known as The Fed currently has about a $1 TRILLION loss on the bonds they YOLO purchased during COVID.

Brian Fantana once said that when bank stocks break correlations with slope in the YC, 80% of the time it works everytime. in the reply are my thoughts on what to do when this breaks and other bank fun.

My guess is $WAFd is (1) huge embedded losses on fixed rate loans meant ROE would drag for years (2) didn’t have stock price to buy others (3) CEO had plane crash and remarriage in last few years and so less patience for the grind ahead (4) so merge into a bigger market cap and trigger the change in control. The corollary to (1) is they had the embedded rate risk because that was the only way they added value for the customers.

Klarna seeks U.S. bank charter in latest push beyond buy now, pay later | @CNBC “The application marks Klarna's latest step toward becoming a broader consumer bank rather than just a buy now, pay later provider. Last month, Klarna introduced high-yield savings accounts to U.S. customers, though its partner WebBank holds those accounts.” cnbc.com/amp/2026/07/06/klar…

I must not understand political machinations as I think I do: This article makes it seem like these community bankers are mad at their trade group when they should be mad at their regulator? And also this is likely the party they voted for? politico.com/news/2026/06/20…

Another problematic proxy, this one at Capital Bank $CBNK. The board has a reputation for meddling. The shareholders don’t appreciate it. 5mln shares are owned by insiders and 1+ by ETFs, suggesting almost every outside shareholder vote went against Whalen.
