The longer 4000-character limit tweet really carried us through this SVB crisis.

The character length of tweets is a good example of path dependence: https://t.co/gGXzEt0eqV https://t.co/0wZmrAo847

I’ve been sharing the 4k-tweet knowledge to everyone I know https://t.co/HaJiXBYxCS

Life Goal: Be as good at anything as this guy is at forming pizza dough. https://t.co/IRYj479zoq

Listen, I have no idea what restaurant this guys owns (looks like “Sarpitos”) but @MichelinGuideNA needs to wake the F up https://t.co/KIzdWZ2EoR

Ok, looks like this dough is either silicon dough or specialty dough — there’s literally a recipe called “Acrobatic Dough” — made for pizza-tossing competitions. 

Didn’t even know that’s a thing but here’s a whole Reddit thread arguing about which it is: https://t.co/iFGnNxw8eA https://t.co/ZQzt2LEBRA

No, I will not be releasing the 18 thinkboi SVB threads I had lined up. But you can enjoy this one: https://t.co/eJxeRVUzD9

Major financial institutions need to get better social comms. The tweet from The Fed should just say:

— All SVB deposits are protected 
— Deposits are available on Monday 
— Zero losses borne on taxpayers https://t.co/S0xx12yzBk

Here is a round-up of a bunch of things I’ve been reading on: 

• The obesity drugs (Ozempic/Wegovy)
• Silicon Valley Bank (SBV) 

 https://t.co/wwSCkZBBCN

My bad: “SBV” supposed to be “SVB”.

Here is one “SBV” acronym that looks semi-related. https://t.co/YcH5y1hiun

Giannis Antetokounmpo with next level risk-management skills https://t.co/JSHPVhGEDW

Giannis lived in Greece when its GDP shrank by 25% during financial crisis and kept those lessons (although having 50 accounts is a fraud risk, so the owner set him up with a wealth manager). 

Came on this for a round-up doing for my email tomorrow: https://t.co/dUm3cB2axY

And yes, I glossed over the part that Giannis had $12m in random checking accounts. Anyways, he got the $250k FDIC insurance on all 50 accounts but here is what former Bucks owner Marc Lasry told him to do: https://t.co/pSGcOg0QzT https://t.co/6APrTwNKvf

People, please don’t ape into Audible. It’s a joke…and Audible is doing fine:

Warren Buffett right now https://t.co/ZL5i58PcRA

Buffett’s BAML deal in 2011 was wild:

— $5B cash for $5B preferred shares (5% dividend)
— warrants for 700m common at $7.14 per share (when he exercised in 2017, it was ~$30 a share)
— So in 6 years, turned $5B into $20B+ and $1.5B in dividends
— Today, owns 13% of BAML

Buffett’s Goldman deal in 2008:

-$5 billion in preferred stock paying a 10% annual dividend
— warrants enabling it to buy 43.5 million of Goldman's common shares at $115 each at any point in the ensuing five years
— By 2020, he netted $3B on top of https://t.co/PBZt3BFD0F… https://t.co/4M110TaOzP https://t.co/1aBG0umuaC
