If this whole newsletter was edamame, this would be so much easier. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-05-17/banks-want-a-break-from-the-fdic

The newsletter is just the newsletter: grandma benefits, the long-term reader benefits. https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2023-05-16/traders-do-less-crime-at-home

In 10, 20, 50 years, I do believe—I want to believe, badly—that we’ll look back and say Money Stuff was an invention on the scale of the printing press or the internet. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-05-15/crypto-had-its-bank-runs-too

This newsletter needs to fix the problem instead of putting a band-aid over the gangrene that it created. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-05-11/blackstone-can-be-the-bank

This seemed, by all accounts, a terrible business newsletter. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-05-10/companies-are-allowed-to-do-bad-mergers

Money Stuff does have size and scale, and that matters in the marketplace. This newsletter is job one, two and three. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-05-09/it-s-never-too-late-for-banks-to-hedge

There is nothing stopping this newsletter from boosting production except my own decision to pad wealthy reader pockets and then sit on whatever is left. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-05-08/oil-companies-give-back-the-cash

With sentiment this negative, in my view it won’t take much to see a significant intermediate-term favorable re-rating of this newsletter. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-05-05/bank-stocks-look-worse-than-banks-do

this came out too late to mention in money stuff today but obviously @patio11 on the deposit franchise is self-recommending https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/deposit-franchises-as-natural-hedges/

like 80% of my financial writing is money stuff and the other 20% is emails to silvia

Matt Levine tweeted this while quoting the below tweet.

Replying to @silviakillings

@matt_levine he claims he's written a lot about them but given that I still don't understand the kerfuffle so I don't think it's worked yet. This is all Matt is good for: helping ME personally understand bank stuff.

The spiraling chaos forced me to shelve this newsletter.
