Regions Trading Halted

 The New York Stock Exchange stopped trading on Regions Financial Corp at least twice today.  Morningstar (not that Morningstar) reported today: 

To gauge the panic-like activity of bank investors in the wake of the recent failures of SVB Financial Group's (SIVB)Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank(SBNY), investors can check out the Nasdaq's "Current Trading Halts" page. Multiple banks have had their stock halted for volatility, some more than once, since the opening bell. Among some of those that have already been halted at least twice, shares of Western Alliance Bancorp(WAL) plummeted 78.2%, Regions Financial Corp. (RF) sank 15.6%, First Republic Bank(FRC) plunged 65.5%, Comerica Inc. (CMA) tumbled 39.4% and PacWest Bancorp. (PACW) took a 47.7% dive. The selloffs come as the S&P 500 inched up 0.1%, erasing an earlier drop of as much as 1.4%.

Today's trading halts.

The more I see how capitalism works, the more I want to throw all caution to the wind. I'll get bailed out so there is no risk. We're already living socialism

Finance and capitalism are not the same animal. John Forbes Kerry said "unfortunately democratic governments cannot deliver the Great Reset, but it will happen, and it will happen much faster and with much more intensity than most could imagine" The WEF says (of the Great Reset) that "you will own nothing".

All of that lead and brass and other firearm related items are increasing in value by the second.

Credit Susie appears to be going down finally so it’s not limited to the USA. Hopefully we car re-enact the Dodd-Frank regulations that Trump gutted and prevent some of this unnecessary risk in the future.

Trump didn't gut Dodd-Frank.

If Trump did (he didn't) why haven't your democrat overlords put the guts back yet 2:52?

What else were they focused on that let such a horror go uncorrected?

Barney Frank, Of Dodd-Frank, was on the board of Signature bank and said the 2018 law had nothing to do with it. Sorry lib nuts.

The US banking system is safe, sound and strong. If you rely on this blog for financial advice, you really don't have much money anyway.

Don't you see what's happening? Potter isn't selling. Potter's buying! And why? Because we're panicky and he's not.

Amen 7:18
Regulations Trump signed lowered the reserves regional banks are required to hold to backstop runs. Once Frank became a member of Signature Bank’s board he begin think like an investor.

Trump took off this Dodd-Frank regulation: must comply with stringent Dodd-Frank rules if >$50 billion.

Trump admin (plus some Dems! Sinema!) voted to RAISE the threshold to >$250 billion.

Thus, the 3 banks that went under were no longer under the Dodd-Frank rules. Thus, limited oversight by the Fed.

@11:33 clearly doesn't understand how the legislative process works.

Wow, suddenly everyone becomes an expert about the pitfalls of Fractional Reserve Banking!
This isn’t the fault of Biden, Trump, or Obama.
If you want to blame someone, then blame Woodrow Wilson.
He signed the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
He also signed the Revenue Act of 1913 that instituted income taxes to repay the national debt to the private Federal Reserve Bank.
In the 100 years between 1913 and 2013, the dollar was inflated to less than five cents of the 1913 value.
The size of government also grew 300%
It’s fitting that the local road named in his honor is a pothole filled and runs through a violent hellscape.

You can thank Trump era banking policies for deregulation. No regulation = no stability.

Imagine being such a halfwit that you actually blame the pawn installed by the 1% for the blowback caused by the greed of the 1%.
Every US president who opposes the Federal Reserve loses his presidency. Trump was done as soon as he criticized Jerome Powell. That’s what ended his chance at a second term. He still got lucky and kept his life. The European central bankers instigated the Civil War in the USA and assassinated Lincoln because he opposed a central bank. When JFK began considering a Fed audit and possibly changing monetary policy to improve the lives of Americans, he was assassinated. They almost got Andrew Jackson too. They are once again Balkanizing the nation and pushing for another civil war here.

But we are the good guys. Debt and inflation are good!

Meanwhile the global “bad guys” are filling their vaults with every precious metal and commodity they can buy.

@5:33 AM, Irrational Trump hates trumps all.

The Federal Reserve has always controlled the boom/bust cycle by increasing liquidity first with easy money, and then later by retracting that liquidity. They are currently putting the squeeze on us all. Some banks can handle the squeeze like a terry cloth rag. Others are about as strong as cheap toilet paper.

Billionaires are made and destroyed this way. If you didn’t go to schul, you won’t know what moves to make.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
