That's it?

Alright. What do you mean by a wave? How did any of the 3 previous bank failures collapse "in waves"? Based on your graphic why did the S&L failure have more financial institutions fail towards the end of thr wave, but the 2008 crysis had more fail at the start?

The graph is beautiful but really, none of the analysis done even discusses waves, or how a bank failure can progress.

Finally, you make a point towards the end that SVB made a mistake and we don't know how widespread it is... Can we look at the pretty graph to other scenarios when a bank made a mistake and was isolated?

I somehow felt cheated at the end of the article, as if I expected some analysis but only found surface level news. This feels like a piece that should have been 2-3x long, and could have explored how each of the previous failures evolved over time.
