HSBC bought the UK arm of SVB only.
The acquisition – which cost HSBC £1 – followed overnight talks between Downing Street, the Bank of England and HSBC bosses including the chief executive, Noel Quinn, as authorities rushed to protect the finances of SVB UK’s 3,500 customers. Those customers included venture capital investors and hundreds of tech startups that feared they would go bust if their deposits were wiped out.

I guess I'm confused by the assets and liabilities part. I'm assuming they are still part of the deal. Like buying your parent's house for a dollar type of deal. You still get the house and all the problems.
So it was an auction of 1 and noone else showed up?

Closed out the C puts I wrote yesterday. 73% profit. Most likely I could have road them to expiry for a penny, but I'm not greedy and who the fuck knows what Janet Powell is gonna do. Imma take my shekels off the table and be happy.

My personal opinion is War stocks are still highly overpriced. That being said, look at this:
3 Defense ETFs for 2023
XAR offers the lowest fees, PPA has the best return, and ITA is the most liquid.

Raytheon makes missiles but its currently running a PE over 27. The boat for defense stocks sorta left a while ago.

Yes, exactly. The Boat left when Ukraine war kicked off. Outside of WWIII, defense needs to cool TF out to normal levels

I am a big fan of the MIC stocks normally. I sold my RTX, LMT, NOC for some pretty good change. Havent had an opportunity to jump back in them.

I am as well huge fan of MIC, especially when we're Free-Market killing communists as we are in Ukraine.
Though, this market was already inflated and the Chinese has brokered peace for Saudis/Iran so no Middle East WAR.
