SVB 1) will get bought out or 2) Bailed out
which one of these two are more realistic?
I certainly don't think a bail out is the cards. But I have a strong feeling there will be a few suitors willing to buy them out
I think it's more realistic it's bought out. The balance sheet doesn't seem awful, the equity has to be worth the shortfall.
Bailing it out would set a precedent they wouldn't want to set. But if it doesn't get bought out, it's surely necessary?
