Share value is interesting, but unconnected. There was a generalized sell off on Turkish markets today of about 10%. The real question, is how much money has been withdrawn from these banks and how much they have left? Will there be a run on the banks that provokes a collapse? It is a possibility.
I don't think investors have access to real-time deposit information! But the stock markets sold-off by 10% in response to the crisis today. We'll know if it gets bad because there will be a bank holiday.
