    take a deep breath...

    FRB is the same bank it was two weeks ago but with $30 bln more in deposits

    there is no material evidence that it is dire straits

    there is no material evidence of malfeasance

    there is no material evidence of a run on the bank

    the P/E for FRB is now UNDER 2

    re-read that...UNDER 2

    you either believe FRB's collapse is IMMINENT (and if so, what is the evidence?)...or this is the strongest insane buy signal I have seen in years

    the stock is trading for $16 and most analysts still have a price target of over $120

    this is literally a panic selling mania that seems to have no basis in evidence at all, its crazy

    even NYT commenters are pointing out...there's nothing wrong with First Republic
