100% agree

And even if Schwab had svb symptoms, the Fed facility announced yesterday fixes it. That program gives loans of up to a year with collateral priced at face value, not market value.

There is zero risk of Schwab running out of cash to cover deposits.

This is correct, but remember that the stock may also be down because they do still have losses on these longer maturity low-interest rate loans.
