I think SVB was attempting to restructure their bond holdings. Yes, they would lose money if they sold their low-yield bonds. However, they were attempting to make up for it by repurchasing bonds on the open market at the higher interest rate.
The SVB scenario warns that the effects of the Fed's rate hikes are still being felt, despite the economy's so far successful resilience. Investors need to be cautious about the upcoming inevitable in situations like these. I'll suggest hiring a financial advisor because you don't have to act on every forecast. For a time, I've been using this as my backup strategy.

Something doesn't seem right. Someone needs to investigate who the investors are who are being hurt. Why shut it down so suddenly and completely? Why not freeze withdrawals until money can be raised? At least leave the chance open until the books are thoroughly checked. Again, someone needs to investigate who the investors are, who are being hurt. For example, the Brave browser, which is popular with Conservatives, has been trying very hard to sell crypto to its users... Then it crashes. You see where I'm going.

FED: We need people unemployed and bankrupt to calm inflation.. **2 days later SVB goes under** FED: Wait, not THOSE people, only poor and middle class can fail in this economy, as usual
About the current bank situation, I'm really concerned. I am worried about a lot more if a bank the size of SVB may fail. I have a friend who manages a fast-growing startup and was severely impacted by the bank run. I have taken more than $840k out of my bank. Since the FDIC only provides coverage up to $250K, an implosion could have negative consequences. presently want to invest in the stock market. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might proceed?
I've never felt secure keeping a large sum of money in a bank, so I invest through my financial advisor, reap the benefits, and then spend the money. We fail to realize that banks are commercial enterprises that are driven by greed as well. The over-leveraging of assets by banks starting in 2020 was one of the factors that led to SVB's collapse.
We were traveling in the same direction, my wife and I. I withdrew my money over the past two years and invested with her wealth manager. I won't be able to match her earnings over time, but at least I make more. Haha.
I just Googled her name and her website came up right away. It looks interesting so far. I'm going to send a mail to her and let you know how it goes.Thanks for sharing truly!
SVB’s real problem was the homogeneity of their depositors. A liquidity crunch in the startup scene meant that pretty much all of their cash was gone. Had they had a more diversified pool of depositors, this wouldn’t have stung as badly.
Nah, that's not the problem. The issue is not in SVB but in the Feds rate hike. SVB did nothing wrong in theory - they invested in the "AAA asset" aka US bonds , which went down so rapidly once the rates went up that nobody could predict. This is the real problem and also the waiver of 10 percent cash reserve during the pandemic, which is another blunder by the regulator. Now, every bank is exposed, not just SVB. They are only the first ones to go. There will be many more, please stay tuned 😂
That literally has nothing to do with it. The depositors were not at fault. They were just the ones who got screwed over by irresponsibility in terms of how banks use their money. No business , no matter how diversified, would just let their $ get thrown away if they knew a bank was being negligent.
@@TheJcrist But the rates *had* to go up due to inflation. The issue is that they were raised so quickly, and this was due to them being so low for so long.
@@TheJcrist They invested all their money in 10-year bonds while the interest on those bonds was very low. Had they invested in three-month bonds and kept rolling it over, they would have had even lower interest but they would have been able to sell them off much more easily.
Honestly, I'm unsure if investing is a wise move right now. Take note of how frequently things fail. As I still have some time before I retire, I'm still looking for a better strategy to invest my money despite reading charts and predictions from well-known investors from the past and present. In order to generate passive income, I want to build a solid and reliable portfolio.
The SVB situation is a reminder that Fed hikes are having an effect, even if the economy has held up so far,” It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor.
I agree, having a brokerage advisor for investing is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having investing nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $850k with the help of my advisor from an initial $120k investment.

A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival.

I am going to look her up too, I have about $81k i want to start with, might be small but it's better than nothing though. Since the 08 crash is playing out again.
I don’t understand why the government is backing this. Why? The bank and investors played with a risky hand needs to suffer the consequences and not use our tax payers money who are playing it conservatively to help these risky players
The ceo & executives effectively cashed in by selling shares & had this bank dissolved in 2 days. When you put your money in the bank THEY own it, they let you use it in the interm. They use it daily to invest & grow THEIR porfolios... not yours.
The irony is that the bank is getting slammed for being too safe. Generally bonds are one of the safest investments possible. But it's a unique perfect storm of devaluation and withdrawal. Generally these types of financial institutions should be punished for making risky investments with our money, but this isn't it. Regardless, these people have had enough bailouts.
no the problem was svb and other banks lobbied trump to relax the dodd frank regulations on their bank so they started playing loose with their liquidity since they were not subject to stress tests.
@@Don-md6wn its really not about the bonds but svc and other mid sized banks lobbied and payed donald to relax the dodd frank regulations put in place so bank callapses wouldnt happen. the reality is if svc and other callapsed banks had been subject to stress tests and liquidity regulations, they would not have callapsed as they would not have been allowed to play loose with their liquidity.
While it might be true that bonds are generally safe. The problem comes when they aren’t diversified correctly. Had they hedged against their bond assets or had proper diversification in their portfolio then they could have maximized gains and minimized losses to their assets. They didn’t do that so I wouldn’t say they were being too safe they were being negligent in that respect. Whoever made that decision is by my standards not mentally fit to invest for a bank or even give out financial information.
In 2015, Silicon Valley Bank stated that it served 65% of all U.S. startups. In 2022, Silicon Valley Bank began to incur steep losses following increased interest rates and a major downturn in growth in the tech industry, where the bank's liabilities were heavily concentrated.
nope the problem was svb bank lobbied trump to relax the dodd frank regulations on svb bank and thats why it failed cuz they started playing loose with the liquidity and not subject to stress tests.
@@giovanni-ed7zq Oh gio vanni, you're absolutely right. It couldn't possibly be the fault of the bank's executives for mismanaging their finances and taking on too much risk.

And of course, anyone who disagrees with your expert analysis is clearly a "financial hooligan." Keep up the great work!
There is not a single bank that could withstand a majority of of customers pulling all their money from their accounts. Most banks don’t have more than 10% capital. Under the right circumstances any bank can fail.
@@jefflarson1652 That's dumb. Those are the customers the banks care most about. The large accounts enable the banks to loan out money so the little guy can get car and home loans. Not to mention they are the accounts of employers who pay for the bills for their businesses and the paychecks of their employees. They stimulate the economy and allow others to make money. They need to bank just like anyone else. Although I would have multiple banks if I had a large sum of money its not smart to keep it all in one place. Myself with almost no money in cash has multiple bank accounts.
@@CouchMan88 generally it’s more expensive to have multiple account’s especially for smaller businesses. That being said, the fault of this whole ordeal falls on the banks. They basically gambled with the depositors money and lost all of it. As you might or might not know, there’s this thing called modern portfolio management theory that basically says to diversify evenly to maximize returns and minimize risk. Had they just followed this basic principle they would have avoided losing any money and everyone would be happy. The fault is and only is on this regional bank. Of course if I was a depositor I wouldn’t be putting my money in small bank like them. I’d put it with Chase or Bank of America and invest my own money and that’s it(I’d have no worries because they are too big to fail and they invest the proper way).
@@blacklyfe5543 This right here, to weather a financial crisis it’s better to put it into assets that have proven time and time again that have recovered. Like stocks is a good one, just be careful not to put all your eggs into one basket valuing growth over risk adverse stocks like Coca Cola or other ones like Verizon(these are risk adverse stocks.
If you don’t bail out the depositors of the regional banks, then all the depositors at all the other regional banks would withdraw them and cause literally ALL of them to collapse. Thereby ensuring JP morgan, Wells Fargo, BoA etc control the entire banking system. And if any of the “too big to fail” banks fail then we’ve got anarchy. As the above commenter said, easier said than done.
No regulators to watch how these banks diversified their investments? Putting almost all of the depositors' money in long-term bonds is absurd. The management can easily see also the inflows and outflows of cash in their Cash Flow Statement every month. This might have triggered the dumping of shares from the CEO, CFO, and CMO of the company weeks ago since they know already the problem several weeks or months ago.
I just watched Margin Call for free last weekend. UA-cam was warning us to get liquid. With Silverado S&L Reagan's Bailout, I bought some of that re-monetized junk, it ended up being illiquid and I only got 5c/$1 back. The investment firm got a handslap from the SEC because the firm was funneling cartel drug money into Wall Street. It's a great big club!!
@@bobby7703 Banks are overregulated because they're allowed to create money (not value, but money) out of thin air, and the only thing backing the USD is the faith that it's still going to be worth something for the foreseeable future. If banks didn't do fractional reserve lending and/or money was still backed by gold, you wouldn't need nearly as much regulation because normal people could find out whether their bank is trustworthy before they put their money there.
It’s not purely based on speculation, for the most part there is a correct way to invest that hasn’t failed me ever. It’s following the modern portfolio management theory. Which you might or might not know tells you to diversify evenly to maximize gains and minimize risk in the market. That being said, the whole ordeal was caused by this regional bank’s stupidity. They put their majority of their assets into bonds, knowing full well that interest rates will go up in the future due to the trillions of dollars pumped into the economy by stimulus. Not only that, but back then to increase spending they made it so banks have to only keep about 10% of their depositors money in case something happens. All of this caused the crisis. The financial system is not a 100% on speculation but those that manage the money speculate in responsibly that lose money or cause these crisis.

I'm not understanding how there was a "run" by depositors to withdraw their funds? Did everyone just wake up that day and decide to withdraw all their money from the bank? How would any of us know if our bank or deposit institution is in financial trouble?
Probably someone from within the bank sent out a mass email to customers. Maybe someone who didn't get the bonus they thought they deserved, or maybe someone who wanted to short the stock or something, who knows?
Their depositors are mostly tech/startups and since interest rates are so high it's been difficult/expensive for those companies to get new investor money. So instead they have been burning through their existing cash (withdrawing it from the bank) to pay expenses and such. Thay's why the bank saw so many outflows over the last few months. Once the news got out then there was panic and everyone tried to withdraw their funds but the bank couldn't sell its assets fast enough to meet the demand.
@@ew6546 On a similar note, how or why would depositors go to the bank to withdraw their funds? If I had $100k in the bank, can I just go up to the teller window and ask for it in cash? Wouldn't you instead just wire the funds to another institution?

During the Trump administration, SVB CEO successfully lobbied to have mid-sized banks not obligated to perform the bank stress tests. Who could have thought that would have turned out badly?

No bailout for billionaire banks enough is enough. The FDIC should introduce very strict new regulations to these private banks since they cannot police themselves. The last thing we want is to rescue another billionaire bank. Let these banks go down under like everyone else.
Silicon Valley Bank hosted too many US treasury bonds, and US government could not solve inflation issue and still waste money for Ukraine and other unnecessary cases to cause the interest rate increasing. So, it made US treasury bonds' value dropping and bank asset value went down to cause such collapse. It is why other countries don't want to take US treasury bond anymore. Increase debt ceiling will be useless since not one wants to take US treasury bonds. Biden administration made many wrong decisions for US, and it will destroy US economics. We need better government administration knowing how to take care US for paying our debt to make economic stable instead of wasting money to make show.

The notion that it hamstrings financial institutions and harms the economy is a myth that’s been busted over and over again. It’s like claiming that referees interfere too much in sporting contests. It’s like claiming that umpires interfere too much with baseball games.
Trump repealed Dodd-Frank and repeatedly bragged about it, but you think the regulators were the problem. I'm surprised you didn't say the collapse was because the bank was too "woke".
SVB did the exact same thing as FTX they used customers money on bad investments and had no money when the bank run happened.. yet they r getting bailed out
I have been saying that businesses need to have multiple sources of income just like an individual does and look at what this woman said, "The bank needed to raise funds.". How come a bank has nothing to mitigate mass withdrawals. People need to learn how to diversify. Having so much money in the banks is dangerous. There are so many places to you can put money in case things go bad.
All we want is the peace of mind that when we work for our money that it's safe , it's not a lot to ask for considering how much we already give the government
Thanks for the explanation, in using critical thinking skills I ponder why money was withdrawn at a pace where the bank needed to raise capital? Does inflation have something to do with it?
They serve majority tech startups and when interest rates rose, the environment was not conducive for startup growth and they started to pull cash out to perhaps support their own operations
You'd be correct. Short term rates were low which made the long term rates more attractive. But this changed. Short term rates went up due to the inflation and made an otherwise sound decision on the banks long term bonds unsound. There are at a minimum of two ways besides speculation to make money on bonds. One buys it at face value, accepts the interest payments until maturity and you get full face value back. Not a bad strategy if you plan to hold. The second way which is probably what bit them in the @$$ is to buy the bond at a DISCOUNT and then at some future point sell the bond at face value or higher making a profit. This means the SVC bank would have had to sell at a significant discount below face value to get the cash flow it needed when it didn't want to. So rather than sell at a loss the bank just failed. One thing to keep aware of. In May the Exempt employee salary threshold is going to rise. This means that employers will either have to raise salaries, convert those salaried employees to hourly, pay them overtime or just get rid of them. Some employers are offshoring, some have risen pay and some will be shedding jobs. In any case there will be withdrawals from companies that have no choice but to pay essential employees in raised salaries or overtime.
So the panic came from the message that the bank needs to raise capital because the bank failed to anticipate the withdrawals of its own clients? So the depositors received it as the bank is running out of cash which in fact the bank's money is invested in bonds? In my eyes, so far it's not an issue of trust or corruption. The issue I think is miscommunication and the failure to anticipate
Banks that rely on generating deposits in huge chunks from corporations and large investors are particularly vulnerable to getting wiped out by a run on deposits. Prior to the 2008 financial collapse, there were a lot of banks that raised deposits via "brokered CDs" that were offered through investment firms and paid higher than normal interest rates. This bank was raising deposits in huge amounts from tech companies; apparently the billionaire Peter Thiel's companies had a bunch of deposits with them and started pulling it last week.
Bank hours and locations have been on a decline for the last 2 years. This limits withdrawal transactions. This limits average workingclass from closing, or moving accounts. Think Greece. This is not all right.
I bet the WEF, is totally shocked that this is happening. How could such a thing happen? I mean, train wrecks, food processing plants exploding and now this. Iam shocked that this could ever happen and stuff.
Lol 😆. When your company Hindenburg is busy to searching loopholes Indian company Adani but their own bank is closed due bankruptcy. Hypocrisy as it's limit
This is why I never use banks that are publicly traded on the stock market. It only takes a little panic to cause a lot more panic and when your stocks tank, that causes a LOT of panic.

When you deposit. That money is automatically invested by your bank. Because they are so greedy, the bank invests in scary big money returns. Risky stuff. Due to deregulations…stupidity allows the banks to over invest and overspend all your dough.
And who bought all those bonds? When someone loses money, someone else makes money. This is how the game is played, present the other side of the story, not just the one that is massively publicized
"When rates rose, the bonds fell in value". Can someone explain why this happens? I thought Treasure Bonds are securities with guaranteed returns. Why would the value fall regardless of what the interest rate is as long as the initial rate was set? Are the treasure bond return rate not fixed?
You are right, but the whole deal is about market prices which do change every instant. Suppose I bought bonds with 1% rate, but after some time rates rose and now it's possible to make a deposit with 2% rate, double the rate. In that case no one would want to buy 1% bonds with original price. Bonds will mature in 1 year, so in order to not lose money I have to hold them all the time. Basically they are frozen and I can't do anything with them without losing money.
Step 1: Assume you are buying a zero coupon bonds of maturity one year and face value 100$. Based on the current rates of interest prevailing, let's say you get a yield of 2 % (annually compounded) on it. This bond would be priced at 100/1+0.02 = 98.03$. Step 2 : After 4 months, let's say now the interest rates have risen and the yield provided in the market is now 5%. The bond would then be priced at 100/(1+0.05) = 95.238$ As you can see, when interest rates rise, the yield on these securities have to increase. if the yield has to increase, the prices have to go low and vice versa. Now you are fine unless you don't have to sell these securities because ultimately you'll get the same amount of face value at the end of the maturity. If however, you need to sell these securities in between in order to provide cash to someone else, you'll incur a loss as the market price has reduced. I hope it was clear.
@@utsavsinha5157 I guess I did not understand how T bonds worked and how they are priced. Using your example, I thought if i can buy a bond at $100 face value at 2% rate with a 1 year maturity date. At the end of the year I will receive $102 regardless of the interest rate moving up or down during the year. Thank you for your example and break down
@@Nikola95inYT that doesn't even make sense. You don't sell treasuries to another person. You sell them to the government. You paid the government to own a piece of paper worth something at a set rate. You're now selling it back to the government after it matures. It has nothing to do with someone not wanting to buy it at a higher rate. You're a human robot.

Something doesn't seem right. Someone needs to investigate who the investors are who are being hurt. Why shut it down so suddenly and completely? Why not freeze withdrawals until money can be raised? At least leave the chance open until the books are thoroughly checked. Again, someone needs to investigate who the investors are, who are being hurt. For example, the Brave browser, which is popular with Conservatives, has been trying very hard to sell crypto to its users... Then it crashes. You see where I'm going.

Underrated comment
For commies, it doesn't matter who goes down. They would betray their own mother if that helps their plans.
Exactly.
About the current bank situation, I'm really concerned. I am worried about a lot more if a bank the size of SVB may fail. I have a friend who manages a fast-growing startup and was severely impacted by the bank run. I have taken more than $840k out of my bank. Since the FDIC only provides coverage up to $250K, an implosion could have negative consequences. presently want to invest in the stock market. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might proceed?
I've never felt secure keeping a large sum of money in a bank, so I invest through my financial advisor, reap the benefits, and then spend the money. We fail to realize that banks are commercial enterprises that are driven by greed as well. The over-leveraging of assets by banks starting in 2020 was one of the factors that led to SVB's collapse.
We were traveling in the same direction, my wife and I. I withdrew my money over the past two years and invested with her wealth manager. I won't be able to match her earnings over time, but at least I make more. Haha.
I need advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this coach?
Her name is “Vivian Carol Gioia” can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like
I just Googled her name and her website came up right away. It looks interesting so far. I'm going to send a mail to her and let you know how it goes.Thanks for sharing truly!
SVB’s real problem was the homogeneity of their depositors. A liquidity crunch in the startup scene meant that pretty much all of their cash was gone. Had they had a more diversified pool of depositors, this wouldn’t have stung as badly.
Nah, that's not the problem. The issue is not in SVB but in the Feds rate hike. SVB did nothing wrong in theory - they invested in the "AAA asset" aka US bonds , which went down so rapidly once the rates went up that nobody could predict.
This is the real problem and also the waiver of 10 percent cash reserve during the pandemic, which is another blunder by the regulator. Now, every bank is exposed, not just SVB. They are only the first ones to go. There will be many more, please stay tuned 😂
That literally has nothing to do with it. The depositors were not at fault. They were just the ones who got screwed over by irresponsibility in terms of how banks use their money. No business , no matter how diversified, would just let their $ get thrown away if they knew a bank was being negligent.
@@TheJcrist But the rates *had* to go up due to inflation. The issue is that they were raised so quickly, and this was due to them being so low for so long.
@@aztronomy7457 I mean, leaving $450 million in a checking account that is only insured for $250k is pretty negligent.
@@TheJcrist They invested all their money in 10-year bonds while the interest on those bonds was very low. Had they invested in three-month bonds and kept rolling it over, they would have had even lower interest but they would have been able to sell them off much more easily.
Honestly, I'm unsure if investing is a wise move right now. Take note of how frequently things fail. As I still have some time before I retire, I'm still looking for a better strategy to invest my money despite reading charts and predictions from well-known investors from the past and present. In order to generate passive income, I want to build a solid and reliable portfolio.
The SVB situation is a reminder that Fed hikes are having an effect, even if the economy has held up so far,” It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor.
I agree, having a brokerage advisor for investing is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having investing nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $850k with the help of my advisor from an initial $120k investment.
@@MarkFreeman-xi3rk That’s impressive! I need guidance so i can salvage my portfolio due to the massive dips and come up with better strategies. How can i reach this advisor?

A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival.
These are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones.
i don't know much about the market, but based on what little knowledge I have of economic supply and demand, this is the best time to venture into the market, but the only thing holding me back is the constant fluctuations in prices, which it's not supposed to be a problem, but i really need guidance because i want to use this avenue of everything being on discount to build a portfolio that pays dividends and takes care of me in retirement.
I am going to look her up too, I have about $81k i want to start with, might be small but it's better than nothing though. Since the 08 crash is playing out again.
I don’t understand why the government is backing this. Why? The bank and investors played with a risky hand needs to suffer the consequences and not use our tax payers money who are playing it conservatively to help these risky players
The ceo & executives effectively cashed in by selling shares & had this bank dissolved in 2 days.
When you put your money in the bank THEY own it, they let you use it in the interm. They use it daily to invest & grow THEIR porfolios... not yours.
The irony is that the bank is getting slammed for being too safe. Generally bonds are one of the safest investments possible. But it's a unique perfect storm of devaluation and withdrawal. Generally these types of financial institutions should be punished for making risky investments with our money, but this isn't it.
Regardless, these people have had enough bailouts.
no the problem was svb and other banks lobbied trump to relax the dodd frank regulations on their bank so they started playing loose with their liquidity since they were not subject to stress tests.
@ReviewChan, the idea that long term bonds are one of the safest investments possible is complete rubbish.
@@Don-md6wn its really not about the bonds but svc and other mid sized banks lobbied and payed donald to relax the dodd frank regulations put in place so bank callapses wouldnt happen. the reality is if svc and other callapsed banks had been subject to stress tests and liquidity regulations, they would not have callapsed as they would not have been allowed to play loose with their liquidity.
While it might be true that bonds are generally safe. The problem comes when they aren’t diversified correctly. Had they hedged against their bond assets or had proper diversification in their portfolio then they could have maximized gains and minimized losses to their assets. They didn’t do that so I wouldn’t say they were being too safe they were being negligent in that respect. Whoever made that decision is by my standards not mentally fit to invest for a bank or even give out financial information.
In 2015, Silicon Valley Bank stated that it served 65% of all U.S. startups. In 2022, Silicon Valley Bank began to incur steep losses following increased interest rates and a major downturn in growth in the tech industry, where the bank's liabilities were heavily concentrated.

There is not a single bank that could withstand a majority of of customers pulling all their money from their accounts. Most banks don’t have more than 10% capital. Under the right circumstances any bank can fail.
Though this is true, customers of this size should also realize the risks and don't deserve to be insured more than the $250,000 FDIC limit.
@@jefflarson1652 That's dumb. Those are the customers the banks care most about. The large accounts enable the banks to loan out money so the little guy can get car and home loans.

Technically in this case the bank wasn't bailed out, the depositors were bailed out.
@@Tempires yes, that is how you remove bad banks
No regulators to watch how these banks diversified their investments? Putting almost all of the depositors' money in long-term bonds is absurd. The management can easily see also the inflows and outflows of cash in their Cash Flow Statement every month. This might have triggered the dumping of shares from the CEO, CFO, and CMO of the company weeks ago since they know already the problem several weeks or months ago.

It’s not purely based on speculation, for the most part there is a correct way to invest that hasn’t failed me ever. It’s following the modern portfolio management theory. Which you might or might not know tells you to diversify evenly to maximize gains and minimize risk in the market. That being said, the whole ordeal was caused by this regional bank’s stupidity. They put their majority of their assets into bonds, knowing full well that interest rates will go up in the future due to the trillions of dollars pumped into the economy by stimulus. Not only that, but back then to increase spending they made it so banks have to only keep about 10% of their depositors money in case something happens. All of this caused the crisis. The financial system is not a 100% on speculation but those that manage the money speculate in responsibly that lose money or cause these crisis.

It would be prudent to conduct a thorough assessment of the companies you have invested in and their potential for future growth, especially considering the possibility of a further market downturn. Engaging the services of an investment advisor to help restructure your portfolio could help alleviate any anxiety and improve your investment strategy.

I'm not understanding how there was a "run" by depositors to withdraw their funds? Did everyone just wake up that day and decide to withdraw all their money from the bank? How would any of us know if our bank or deposit institution is in financial trouble?
Probably someone from within the bank sent out a mass email to customers. Maybe someone who didn't get the bonus they thought they deserved, or maybe someone who wanted to short the stock or something, who knows?
Their depositors are mostly tech/startups and since interest rates are so high it's been difficult/expensive for those companies to get new investor money. So instead they have been burning through their existing cash (withdrawing it from the bank) to pay expenses and such. Thay's why the bank saw so many outflows over the last few months. Once the news got out then there was panic and everyone tried to withdraw their funds but the bank couldn't sell its assets fast enough to meet the demand.
@@ew6546 On a similar note, how or why would depositors go to the bank to withdraw their funds? If I had $100k in the bank, can I just go up to the teller window and ask for it in cash? Wouldn't you instead just wire the funds to another institution?

No bailout for billionaire banks enough is enough. The FDIC should introduce very strict new regulations to these private banks since they cannot police themselves. The last thing we want is to rescue another billionaire bank. Let these banks go down under like everyone else.
Silicon Valley Bank hosted too many US treasury bonds, and US government could not solve inflation issue and still waste money for Ukraine and other unnecessary cases to cause the interest rate increasing. So, it made US treasury bonds' value dropping and bank asset value went down to cause such collapse. It is why other countries don't want to take US treasury bond anymore. Increase debt ceiling will be useless since not one wants to take US treasury bonds. Biden administration made many wrong decisions for US, and it will destroy US economics. We need better government administration knowing how to take care US for paying our debt to make economic stable instead of wasting money to make show.

Wasn't much of an explanation
Within 10 hours!
Thanks for the explanation, in using critical thinking skills I ponder why money was withdrawn at a pace where the bank needed to raise capital? Does inflation have something to do with it?
They serve majority tech startups and when interest rates rose, the environment was not conducive for startup growth and they started to pull cash out to perhaps support their own operations
You'd be correct. Short term rates were low which made the long term rates more attractive. But this changed. Short term rates went up due to the inflation and made an otherwise sound decision on the banks long term bonds unsound.
There are at a minimum of two ways besides speculation to make money on bonds. One buys it at face value, accepts the interest payments until maturity and you get full face value back. Not a bad strategy if you plan to hold.
The second way which is probably what bit them in the @$$ is to buy the bond at a DISCOUNT and then at some future point sell the bond at face value or higher making a profit.
This means the SVC bank would have had to sell at a significant discount below face value to get the cash flow it needed when it didn't want to.
So rather than sell at a loss the bank just failed.
One thing to keep aware of. In May the Exempt employee salary threshold is going to rise. This means that employers will either have to raise salaries, convert those salaried employees to hourly, pay them overtime or just get rid of them.
Some employers are offshoring, some have risen pay and some will be shedding jobs. In any case there will be withdrawals from companies that have no choice but to pay essential employees in raised salaries or overtime.
So the panic came from the message that the bank needs to raise capital because the bank failed to anticipate the withdrawals of its own clients? So the depositors received it as the bank is running out of cash which in fact the bank's money is invested in bonds? In my eyes, so far it's not an issue of trust or corruption. The issue I think is miscommunication and the failure to anticipate
Banks that rely on generating deposits in huge chunks from corporations and large investors are particularly vulnerable to getting wiped out by a run on deposits. Prior to the 2008 financial collapse, there were a lot of banks that raised deposits via "brokered CDs" that were offered through investment firms and paid higher than normal interest rates. This bank was raising deposits in huge amounts from tech companies; apparently the billionaire Peter Thiel's companies had a bunch of deposits with them and started pulling it last week.
Bank hours and locations have been on a decline for the last 2 years. This limits withdrawal transactions. This limits average workingclass from closing, or moving accounts. Think Greece. This is not all right.
Great explanation
Wells Fargo next?
The SVB collapse has taught me to never have a bank account with more than $250k.
I bet the WEF, is totally shocked that this is happening. How could such a thing happen? I mean, train wrecks, food processing plants exploding and now this. Iam shocked that this could ever happen and stuff.
Lol 😆. When your company Hindenburg is busy to searching loopholes Indian company Adani but their own bank is closed due bankruptcy. Hypocrisy as it's limit
Insider news :- Adani shorted US banks as retaliation. True story 😂
Very nice video
so the rich get bailed out again, and again, and again....
yes and that's how it should work
SVB President and CEO, Greg Becker, served as an advisor to DJT's US Dept of Commerce from 2016-17. Fact.
This is why I never use banks that are publicly traded on the stock market. It only takes a little panic to cause a lot more panic and when your stocks tank, that causes a LOT of panic.
So no Bank of America or chase or Wells Fargo?
just curious, why instead selling the bonds they opt to not execute repo facility in Central Bank ?
Janet Yellen stated that she has been closely monitoring the banking industry.
I’m curious if she was able to foresee this event
😆 No
She didn’t foresaw it but she was seeing it at it occurred…. very very close to the TV 👀 📺 😂
The FDIC should have been able to identify the *relatively* risky banks. Hellen’s useless, as a mouthpiece for political agendas.
Just a day or 3 before SVB collapsed, Jerome Powell said all is well. The feds aren't sending their best.
Sure. You know she's allowed to do insider trading, right? :-)
When I heard this news I feel very glad .
I don't believe in luck I believe in trust and
understanding. I've been trading forex for some
months now and I've made good amount of money
of over $78,100 with her simple strategies of
trading. Meeting with stacy has been one of my best
experience these past few months and am expecting
more withdraws from her
I have incurred so much losses trading on my own..I trade well on demo. But I think the real market is manipulated. Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong
trading in the financial market is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most investors trade with a professionals
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
I think | heard that name before, I stumbled
upon one of her clients testimonies here some
You don't need to be surprised because I'm also a huge beneficiary of expert Mrs Stacy
So where are they putting their money after withdrawing it from these banks.....CD's?
Trump's Deregulation doing the usual magic that deregulation does. We've seen this dance many times before. Bank CEOs Lobby for deregulation, CEOs get Deregulation. Politicians get massive amount of money for granting deregulation. CEO get paid massive bonuses when their risky gambles pay off, CEOs bank collapses when their risky gambles fail, leaving Uncle Sam holding the bag.
You realize that Trump doesn't pass laws, right? It's the congressmen you elected that voted to change regulations.
Surprisingly no mention of Peter Thiel...
America is finally getting what they voted for. lol
What they voted for in 2016. Trump deregulations coming back to haunt us.
@@MikeBrown-ex9nh the bank focused on diversity quotas and had no risk manager. nice try though, BluAnon cultist. also what kind of "republican deregulation" are you talking about in california?
@@LowerYourExpectationsPleb 2018 Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act, eased regulations. Particularly reducing the required frequency of stress testing
@@tenfoldrotation or the company just had no risk manager (or a diversity hire risk manager) and was focusing on putting blax and the latinx and womynz into leadership positions?
When you deposit. That money is automatically invested by your bank. Because they are so greedy, the bank invests in scary big money returns. Risky stuff. Due to deregulations…stupidity allows the banks to over invest and overspend all your dough.
Рынки посыпались поздравляю
Not like russia gas income
And who bought all those bonds? When someone loses money, someone else makes money. This is how the game is played, present the other side of the story, not just the one that is massively publicized
Why you speak like this!!!!!!!! Get some one who can speak with clear and understandable voice!!!!!
Maybe improve your English
lol
The SEC would have to work at a bank to ever police a bank.
The voice is so irritating!!
The government should only cover the $250,000 insured coverage deposit. Everything else let the market settle it out.
"When rates rose, the bonds fell in value". Can someone explain why this happens? I thought Treasure Bonds are securities with guaranteed returns. Why would the value fall regardless of what the interest rate is as long as the initial rate was set? Are the treasure bond return rate not fixed?
You are right, but the whole deal is about market prices which do change every instant. Suppose I bought bonds with 1% rate, but after some time rates rose and now it's possible to make a deposit with 2% rate, double the rate. In that case no one would want to buy 1% bonds with original price.
Bonds will mature in 1 year, so in order to not lose money I have to hold them all the time. Basically they are frozen and I can't do anything with them without losing money.
Step 1: Assume you are buying a zero coupon bonds of maturity one year and face value 100$. Based on the current rates of interest prevailing, let's say you get a yield of 2 % (annually compounded) on it. This bond would be priced at 100/1+0.02 = 98.03$.
Step 2 : After 4 months, let's say now the interest rates have risen and the yield provided in the market is now 5%. The bond would then be priced at 100/(1+0.05) = 95.238$
As you can see, when interest rates rise, the yield on these securities have to increase. if the yield has to increase, the prices have to go low and vice versa.
Now you are fine unless you don't have to sell these securities because ultimately you'll get the same amount of face value at the end of the maturity. If however, you need to sell these securities in between in order to provide cash to someone else, you'll incur a loss as the market price has reduced. I hope it was clear.
There’s no market for bonds that yield rates from a few years ago when today’s bond yields are higher due to rising interest rates.
@@utsavsinha5157 I guess I did not understand how T bonds worked and how they are priced. Using your example, I thought if i can buy a bond at $100 face value at 2% rate with a 1 year maturity date. At the end of the year I will receive $102 regardless of the interest rate moving up or down during the year. Thank you for your example and break down
@@Nikola95inYT that doesn't even make sense. You don't sell treasuries to another person. You sell them to the government. You paid the government to own a piece of paper worth something at a set rate. You're now selling it back to the government after it matures. It has nothing to do with someone not wanting to buy it at a higher rate. You're a human robot.
I'm switching on getting a credit union now.
This what happens as a bank if you fail to hedge against interest rate hikes.
Hedging against interest rates is not that simple, there are drawbacks and costs associated with every hedge.
this is what happens when any company focuses on diversity quotas
@@ew6546 yes like any hedging facility but you’d imagine they implemented some method to offset any losses
@@LowerYourExpectationsPleb Really hard to tell you're a MAGA when you post something that ridiculous.
