>The whole point of the FDIC is to avoid contagion, and they nipped this in the bud, again.
Maybe. Part of the problem here is related to Glass-Stegall. Depositors are essentially the ones backing the investors at a bank these days. So, they just shifted who's footing things here, from the depositors and investors at SIVB, to depositors and investors at other banks. This approach has essentially dispersed the risk into the broader economy. As so, don't be surprised if this ultimately exacerbates contagion in the end.
