    How’s the stock market?

    As SVB grew beyond 50 billion in total assets it would have had to meet, "enhanced requirements including stress tests, stricter capital requirements and risk management practices". Those requirements were put into place to prevent larger "systemically important" banks from making high risk...

    How’s the stock market?

    Okay, let's hear the "other part of the equation". I say tighter regulations is preferable to the economic hostage situation of having to decide between bailing out these uninsured rich idiots or letting them take a bath and hoping it doesn't trigger further bank runs and full on economic meltdown.

    Oh right, I forgot that SVB employed women which is the real reason they went under.

    Last time I gently placed my board on asphalt it exploded, wounding three. If that pad actually is peeling @tedshred5 I've had luck using the 3M spray adhesive (super 77 I think its called) to re-glue corners like that before they turn into full blown tear off and replace jobs.

    everything everywhere all at once

    I couldn't disagree more. Sure, it made more money but if that's the criteria wouldn't it be like superhero movies winning most years?

    How’s the stock market?

    When talking about banks and other financial institutions a more regulated market is my answer. Its not a coincidence that SVB collapsed after successfully lobbying for a repeal of sections of dodd/frank which applied to banks of its size. In my view the constant push to deregulate markets has...

    Tim Stamps - Shaper of the Year

    Flare and Disco cheater are both great step downs. Havent tried the Rocket Wide. Between DC and Flare I think Flare is a little flatter and wider with more pronounced bottom contours. DC has a bit of rocker and a fairly narrow/thin tail for a small wave board and likes an active approach. Both...

    Have the "Experts" ever been right on a climate prediction?

    Exxon scientists have been modeling and projecting the global temperature increases due to human caused CO2 emissions with great accuracy since the 1970's. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/01/harvard-led-analysis-finds-exxonmobil-internal-research-accurately-predicted-climate-change/

    How’s the stock market?

    You love the current unstable system which is why you screech about it daily? I love your strange obsession with my surfboard quiver btw. No you absolutely should bank at a credit union. I bank at a credit union. They are great. I just think its ironic that you are a constant defender of...

    Pyzel Mini Padillac

    I ran EAs for quite a while in my OG Paddi. No real complaints. They are stable and predictible. Good for covering ground in a straight line and still probably my choice for legit bit waves. Not impossible to turn but definitely best for more drawn out lines. This winter while surfing a big...

    Look at mister free market banking at a credit union. The irony of you literally not putting your money where your mouth is is great.
