ICC arrest warrant issued, will only push Putin further into a corner.

Only China now, can stop the unjust Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Smart money is still wary of UK financial stocks and remain deeply out of favour with Fund Managers and Institutional investors since the 2008 crash, despite fairly attractive dividend yields.

Banks "too big to fail "

Next time shareholders and investors, not taxpayers will be first in line to bear the full cost of any failing Bank or bailout.

Topsy - turvy week for trader's

Markets still very much on shaky ground, as negative sentiment persists.

Credit Suisse given a $54 Bn temporary lifeline and market calm is restored somewhat.

This is a global banking fundamental problem that is not going away anytime soon.

No cost of living crisis at Cheltenham today, Guinness £20 a pint !

Markets spooked, damage and widespread loss of confidence to the global banking sector is immeasurable.

Banks now face a uphill struggle to restore investor confidence and trust in the wake of this financial debacle.

Restructuring it's capital intensive banking investment arm and failure to reduce costs have not gone well, resulting in significant losses for the bank.

Will the bank fail, No !

Agree, After the SVB fallout and energy prices are now clearly on the backfoot, the current interest rate cycle has probably peaked.

" Credit Suisse "

Material weakness found, balance sheet fluctuations, call it what you like, i call it good old fashioned outflows of customers money from the bank as global wholesale funding costs begin to bite hard into banks bottom line earnings.

" insider trading "

Hard to prove and riddled with grey area's and open to interpretation !

In a bid to shore up the nations finances, will a desperate cash seeking Chancellor deliver increased NS&I premium bond prize fund rates and higher returns on investment savings accounts for investors today ?

Increasing the maximum premium bond holding to £75000 could be worth an extra £22 Billion of much needed cash for the Treasury.

Sell - off in US banks may have been overdone, liquidity issues and balance sheet fluctuations will remain an ongoing concern for many of these small US Regional and Community banks...... confidence will remain shaky.

" Moody's latest negative outlook for US Banks "

US Regional and Community banking sector now ripe for a raft of consolidation and mergers.

Big may be beautiful after all !

Monday's sell -off turned out to be a good opportunity to start spring cleaning and rebalancing share weightings of portfolio assets, in readiness for the change in allowances for the new tax year.

SVB fallout has certainly shaken investor confidence , expect market volatility will continue for a while yet

Traders trying to time the market today....... complete nightmare !

No financial crisis in the making yet , however US banks are now under the spotlight as fundamental flaws and weakness in their business banking models now become apparent for some banks.

Further interest rises are now likely to be curtailed on both sides of the pond.

London rout and sell - off beginning to look a tad overdone now, all eyes now firmly fixed on Wall Street opening.

SVB Bank

A victim of rising interest rates, poor management and lax regulatory controls, put simply..... SVB grew to fast using cheap FED short - term money from depositers and invested it in long - term assets it was unable sell .

Gary Lineker " who cares " ?

He has enough " Walker's Crisps " and cash in the cupboard to last him a lifetime.
