My Take: Schwab CEO on CNBC
My Take:
Not only is a bank run not happening at Schwab, clients are depositing assets at an record rate. On Friday alone clients deposited $4B net new assets - and have averaged $2B per day in March.
Bettinger also bought 50,000 shares at market open today according to Sarah Eisen of CNBC.
They're still somewhat at risk due to their large bond portfolio and rising interest rates.
@alejandro_r don't you think the Fed will lower rates now that theres fear of banking contagion?
@andybuchanan No. I bet they'll still raise a quarter point. There's no contagion.
@alejandro_r Who knows what the Fed will do.
@alejandro_r my understanding is that their bond portfolio has significantly shorter duration than banks like SVB did. Rising interest rates are good for the company since 60%+ of their revenue is from net interest iirc.
@wjared I think SCHW had a shorter duration bond portfolio than SVB, but they still had mostly longer-dated securities for its portfolio. Trying to find where I read that though.
CNBC doing their part to tamp down bank runs by massively featuring the words "Schwab CEO BOUGHT THE STOCK"— even though it was just a couple million dollars worth. Headlines like this probably help stop bank runs more than anything else.
@kygo interesting conspiracy theory. What’s your take on Schwab’s financial health?
@wjared No risk of immanent failure. But too many bonds with super low interest rates. Doing fine, but not fantastic.
Schwabs client base is completely different from Silicon Valley Bank (which was startups). You're not going to see a VC-Twitter induced bank run on Charles Schwab like you did $SIVB
@chip_lunderburg right - zero percent chance Schwab has a bank run with their clientele. People don’t get it.
"There's a difference between a brokerage operation and a banking operation"
A bank takes deposits and invests those proceeds. Brokerage assets are completely different. Brokerage assets are segregated— not commingled with bank assets. The brokerage assets are not being lent out.
Schwab also has bank assets, but the holdings of the bank to not mix with Schwab's brokerage assets.
Trading personal has been difficult for me, lost my funds in stocks and forex lately until I met with rich__trades on instagram who’s been great and reliable. You can contact him as well to benefit from his great knowledge and trading services..
Why is everyone shorting Schwab?
