Ignore the fact that JPM is one of the largest shareholders of SIVB. It in now way influences this memo...

Reading the FDIC memo, it sounds like they intervened before it became a total disaster ala lehman bros. With Credit suisse seemingly circling the drain, I wonder what other monsters are hiding in the banking sector.

Should just buy used Rolexes obviously lol. I can see that being a hard crash eventually if inflation keeps going.

Rolexes especially have gone up an INSANE amount. You can’t get them from dealers anymore by just walking in. You have to be put on a list, if you’re lucky. Daytonas we’re 11k base msrp like 5 years ago. Now they go for around 32k++++ on the regret market. Day-date submariners I think are 9.6k or so msrp from dealer and now go for 17k new on regret market.

Ive wanted this rose gold yachtmaster for past few years but can’t stomach paying 10k+ over msrp. Even Davidsw, who used to be able to get watches below dealer price, now has them all at regret market pricing.


I’ve literally been telling you plebes for years that watches are one of only three things you should be investing in but of course no one listened to me.
