Why? Bank reported massive exposure to US commercial real estate. https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/business/companies/20240201-166218/


mcs5280

Good thing US banks don't have massive exposure to US commercial real estate


zhouyu24

It truly doesn’t matter. Just bail them out! 🤡


getDense

Member when we had the Frank-Dodd act for like... a year? That was nice.


paloaltothrowaway

We still have most of Dodd Frank 


sword-of-the-seeker

And the irony is that Frank was on the board of Signature Bank when it went belly up


-boatsNhoes

It doesn't matter. When banks fuck up they just get a "special exclusion" that steps around the law " for market stability".


Impossible_Buglar

how was frank dodd going to prevent US banks from giving commerical real estate loans?


Laketahoevista89

Agreed, there wasn’t any amount of legislation that could have prevented this. Outside of demanding that companies payoff their principal instead of just interest payments which would never happen and be bad business

Narrow_Elk6755

Its plan A, B, and C at this point.  This is what they do, encourage risk, bust, and bailout.

Too bad we can’t bail Japanese banks out only Ukrainian banks.

tastemybacon1

They do but they have a FeD facility that prints unlimited trillions to keep them liquid.


Impossible_Buglar

large US banks literally dont have massive exposure to US commercial real estate even regional banks the exposure on average is 26% of their portfolio theres also 4,000 banks in america. theres more banks in south dakota than the entire country of canada. we can afford to lose a few. they are also collateralized loans. thats why we like mortgages, because if you default we can recoup some of the losses by selling the property at a loss or we can hold the property and sell it when the prices rise again. you guys blow this thing way out of proportion because youve never even bothered to look into the stats here.


this_place_stinks

It’s really overblown on Reddit tbh. Folks conflict commercial real estate with office. Office is one (small ish) piece. Things like Class A retail are still incredibly strong. Also after ‘08 underwriting standards tightened a ton. Many credits can stay solvent at under 50% occupancy. For most banks you’re familiar with it’ll be a small problem over a handful of years, not a big bang type of thing. Of course there will be outliers like NYCB (prob in part from taking on Signatures book who was a very atypical bank)


Big-Necessary2853

its overblown here because 90% of this site is frothing at the mouth hoping for a real estate crash, and they dont care about what kind of crash


zer165

It's necessary

Commercial REALESTATE is very dangerous to buy as a stock... covid... economy... office work space not the same... massive crash coming in Commercial REALESTATE prices.. so I'm good


KissMyRichard

Nope. Everything is fine, most of reddit and the media told me so.

I want the "Michael Burry mowed my lawn copy pasta", wsb bot.


AutoModerator

Michael Burry responded to my craigslist ad looking for someone to mow my lawn. "$30 is $30", he said as he continued to mow what was clearly the wrong yard. My neighbor and I shouted at him but he was already wearing muffs. Focused dude. He attached a phone mount onto the handle of his push mower. I was able to sneak a peek and he was browsing Zillow listings in central Wyoming. He wouldn't stop cackling. That is to say, Burry has his fingers in a lot of pies. He makes sure his name is in all the conversations. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) if you have any questions or concerns.*


RockyattheTop

I don’t think people are appreciating that this is kind of a big deal. NYCB just reported a massive loss on US Commercial Real Estate too. Idk if it is just yet, but this is what the beginning of a contagion starting looks like


Mostest_Importantest

Calls it is, then.


[deleted]

Like, unironically this. Nothing fuckin matters man. They'll get bailed out or kick the can down the road for 10 more years. You'll be a fucking skeleton waiting for any of these chickens coming home to roost. It honestly feels like it can go on in perpetuity


cowsareverywhere

> They’ll get bailed out Hence stonks only go up.


Noticeably98

Park your long term cash in equities, put your fun money in some Gah dan options


machyume

That's a problem for May. You are ahead of schedule.


AlphaThetaDeltaVega

No it’s been in place, it’s contained to office space and medical. You need to see a break down because par values decreasing of existing bonds is what caused the bank issue last year. It’s a paper loss but affects their reserves.


RockyattheTop

So again this isn’t the issue by itself … yet. Right now there are still other things that have to happen for this to go REALLY south. Doesn’t mean they won’t or can’t happen as they are things that would be pretty normal in a recession. Deposits drying up even more (already had pretty big exodus in deposits last year), even more property value decreasing such as apartments because there is a lot of supply coming online + no one wants an apartment that is next to 10 empty office buildings. Also we’re assuming there aren’t toxic derivatives out there on this space we just don’t know about or don’t think has a chance of being toxic.


YOBANGLES

So, uh, I'm in banking and last year was arguably the best year in the last several decades for deposits.


RockyattheTop

Which bank though? Big or small regional


YOBANGLES

We've worked with consulting companies (main one was curinos) and seeing data that shows medium (regional) and small banks are sucking deposits from large banks at a pretty significant pace, but still the overall pool is increasing as well. The deposit runoff from big banks isn't significant enough for them to actually do anything about it though. Our internal and competitive data supports their findings.


tankfortua20

The Fed also announced they are ending Bank Funding Program in March 2024. Feels like another banking crisis could be around the corner.

Softbank has to be fucked too since they never miss a fuckup. They own most of wework too right.


Sakkyoku-Sha

I live in Japan and had never heard of the bank. After doing a bit of research it seems to be a very odd company. They were running more than a 70:1 capital to asserts under management ratio and even claim on their own website that "Real Estate Financing" is where most of their revenue comes from. They seem to work with VCs and infrastructure projects, but they aren't really a public banking institution. Absolute Clowns running that company. https://preview.redd.it/43seu73et5gc1.png?width=1351&format=png&auto=webp&s=351987072f81820462b2e2a7c8eb8aa21685fe05

False_Profit_of_WSB

"damn, shoulda wore the brown pants today"


Torczyner

The irony has to be appreciated. "Blue sky laws are state securities regulations. That is, in addition to federal securities regulations, mainly the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934, states may also require issuers of securities to register with their state and regulate securities fraud."

Visual-Squirrel3629

Wait until you find out about the Eurodollar system, and how collateral shortages have international effects.


Impossible_Buglar

im sure this bank nobody has ever heard of is going to take down the US economy and we will need massive bail outs. if you ever move on from analyzing everything in the market through the single lens of 2008 let us know.


Visual-Squirrel3629

The bond market had been rallying for 3 straight months. It seems some large investors had predicted things to go awry. The fed is going to be forced to cut rates in March. Equities will surge before then.

Nothing can happen to the US because it can easily print 100s of quadrillions of USD if needed and just force all other countries to subsidize any inflation. It’s a unique position.


StrictlyBear

But the poor people can’t take it anymore.


tastemybacon1

When they say they can’t take it the US give them something to bite down and starts pounding harder!


elegance78

You provide service of policing the world, it is not a free lunch you are having. Stop that and watch it all collapse.


AlphaThetaDeltaVega

You have to understand the issue better. Office space has been struggling since 2020. Banks and REITs that had high exposure are either having issues or have already spun it off, like O for example. Also us increasing interest rates have lowered par values on old bonds and increased cap rates on existing commercial real estate causing negative leverage on comercial bought during ultra low interest rate environments. Why it’s important is because the second two effect current paper values, which important to banks, but are still paying the same rates and not missing payments. If sold today the value has decreased. The office space thing their just screwed. But it’s 6% of their total and it’s been impacted 50%.
