@GadSaad We Canadians need to focus on what’s happening here in our own country. I’m outraged by this W5 report on Canada’s lack of response to this this major drug problem. Canada is exporting our problems around the world. https://t.co/XuqHj3Aw2A

@marshallexec Shorts are after banks with unrealized losses associated on similar assets on their balance sheets. As these stock prices fall it’s hard for customers not to start to pull cash.

[Les Whiting @leswhiting]

@marshallexec This was a great bank, the treasury has to open the window to other banks with similar risks to capitalize them or others will fail. I don’t think this is as contained as most people think.

[Les Whiting @leswhiting]

@billclerico Fed has to drop rates and open the window for liquidity for banks especially those with this kind of risk exposure. This was a good bank, this is not credit risk, this is policy risk from raising rates.

@FeralMiller @WaveHQ Hi Farrell. I lead financial services at Wave and H&R Block. I’d be happy to discuss with you this issue as it’s complex but as I believe you know my team is actively working on this for you specifically. Please DM me and we can discuss.
