Even when assessing a fund / business / your own positions it used to be: - cash in bank ✅ (losing out on some potential interest but here is some $ that isn’t going anywhere) - assets 🔎 (how liquid? ROI?) - stocks 🔎 (what businesses? How are they doing? How are they managing their money?) Now it’s: - cash in bank 🔎 (which bank? How are they managing their money?)

I’m still struggling to reconcile how to think of $ risk with banks. Conventional wisdom has been $ in banks is lowest risk— it’s where you put your emergency fund. You trade off low risk against interest. Recent bank runs turn that on its head. At least the risk is understood with a mutual fund: theres some group of people who are investing your money, which can have up or down side. Should conventional wisdom shift to reflect the reality that banks are mutual funds with a bit of insurance behind them?
