Held-To-Maturity (HTM) Regulations. I don't follow bank stocks much, never could understand the accounting or all the regulatory rules. But the most shocking thing to me in that thread was:

"regulators do not force $SIVB to mark HTM securities to market."

I certainly didn't know that. I'm shocked that it works that way and is allowed. What good are the bank regulators if that's the case? You can be sitting there basically insolvent or with huge losses and the regulators don't say anything? That's shocking to me.
