Almost exactly 1 year since Silicon Valley Bank.
It was New York Community Bank who took over Silicon Valley Bank.
Once upon a time NYCB was a terrific bank trading at 8 bucks with a buck a share dividend. I know I once owned it.
Unfortunately as it often happens.....little people wanted to be
big people and enjoy the ego boosting experience of running a
big bank.....So they went on a
big acquisition spree including taking ownership of the failed Silicon Valley Bank along with dumping out
big loans to back
big New York real estate ventures that never lived up to their
big expectations.
By the looks of things the truly
big hammer that being the FDIC and the Federal Reserve will come walking into NYCB within the next few days and lay some truly
big hurt on the
big people wannabes. The result of course will be these aspiring
big people will once again become little people .
