Melissa Terri Swayne is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
It was a very bad decision to remove the Glass-Steagall Act in the late 1990s, which led to the spectacular failure of huge banks during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. To prevent another disaster, Dodd-Frank and this statute both need to be reestablished right away. What happened with these banks is only the beginning of what will happen if nothing is done to address the current situation.
In my opinion, some of the banks was attempting to restructure their bond portfolio, which involved selling their low-yielding bonds despite the potential loss, and compensating for it by buying higher-interest-rate bonds on the open market.
Despite the economy's resilience thus far, the banks scenario cautions that the effects of Federal Reserve rate hikes persist. During such periods, investors must remain alert to anticipate what comes next. It is not necessary to act on every prediction, so I recommend seeking the guidance of a financial advisor, which has been my go-to advice for some time now.

Yes, yes, and yes. When low interest ARM's were being advertised on every TV station, billboard, and internet site in the early to mid 2000's I turned to a friend and said "This is not going to end well." When the crash happened she turned to me and said "You were right, you predicted this years ago." I replied "I'm no financial genius but I do know human nature." Greed and the promise of the American Dream to people without the means to sustain a huge increase in interest rates leads to disaster. I cautioned a couple of people about the ARM's but was dismissed.

The banks weren't making money. They were just taking it from pension funds and other investors, via fees. They were also taking it from borrowers in the form of higher rates. The banks didn't actually create value in the economy, they are a net negative. A company that takes raw materials, and manufacturers equipment which is used in construction, adds value to the economy. The bank which charges fees saps value.
The company needs a facility to transact with the players, raw material labour, transport labour essentially they need capital and banks provide that. Like where are you gonna store money, get money and facilitate trustworthy transactions without banks. Banks have created the most efficient way of facilitating trade that it's easy to undermine the value they bring. You need financing( essentially credit) to start any project of value

There were home builders that just stopped. Countless home's stopped in mid construction. It was crazy. I was a framer and was informed all construction was halted.
This video didn’t explain why Lehman had that much debt. It was because they sold insurance on those sub prime mortgage bonds. They basically took a long position on housing.
They bought subprime mortgages and derivatives with borrowed money up 30:1, borrowed vs owned money. With the value of the underlying assets (the mortgages) dropping, it becomes obvious that you can no longer pay your debt since it’s not covered by the same value in assets.
watch the movie margin call and that will answer your question. They were buying mortgage backed securities...holding them on their books too long where they would lose value which caused loses larger than the market cap of the entire company since people couldn't pay their mortgages. They were borrowing money they never had.
It is a superb video giving viewers a throwback to the what triggered the 2008 financial crash. Hedge fund investors were piling an astronomical amount of money into investment banks' bubbles which culminated in 2008.
The executives didn’t lose money. The people did. People lost money, cars, homes, and ultimately lives and banks didn’t care. Thank God that He will judge and won’t let them get away.
Everyone is screaming market crash and it's getting me worried. How can I protect my investment portfolio of around 800K. I don't want to get burnt out.

No banka should have been bailed out. The bailouts should have gone to small businesses and individuals affected by their greed. All the c suite and senior execs involved should have been locked up for life. Instead, we simply kicked the credit ball down the road and now sit on the edge of another collapse.

Ppl blame the printing of money for our economic problem. The fact is, the whole loan and credit system is the true problem. Right now, it's what's causing our unbearable unaffordable inflation.
yes 'printing of money' is an old fashioned concept that most people still believe is how the supply is created, whereas it's 'loans' from thin air that are created through signatures that are the 'money supply', residing on a digital/electronic ledger somewhere on a screen and not paper in a safe. This is then 'spent' into existence thus watering down the value of existing circulating 'money'.
Unfortunately the lack of credit from banks was destroying businesses across the world. Without a bailout (which I also hated), we would have been in a depression within months (like 1929). The bailout was bad but the lack of prosecution of companies like the credit rating companies, Lehman and Washington Mutual was absolutely a crime. The US did make its money back with a profit from AIG but they had to sell off a large portion of their company.
The bailout was fine. But the lack of accountability for the big banks and stricter regulations and oversight that should have been immediately attached to it was terrible.
The only people who would've actually suffered from that are us. The regular folks. Businessess, everybody who isn't rich. Not the CEOs. They bailed us out.

@@1greenMitsi The ratings agencies didn't do their job of evaluating these CDO's. The entire system was fraudulent. The government printed a bunch of money and at some point the next collapse will be even bigger than that one since no one was punished for creating that situation in the first place.
Oh, they knew. They just had to unwind their own positions before revealing the truth. Most of them escaped with losses, but still escaped. The executives? Yeah, they cashed out and took their bonuses.
There were a lot more causes of the crisis that really all came together at the same time even though people were warning as far back as late 90s this was going to happen, but it wasn't just one thing. And this has happened before in the past in different ways and will happen again in the future. Really it was like a volcano, a lot of things were going on underground the signs were there but then the top blew and everyone saw it
Privatise gains and socialise the losses. If you fail and you are big enough you basically get rewarded for risk taking & undermining the whole economy.
Its weird how they make it out like people that worked at Lehman losing their jobs was part of the crisis, it wasnt. It was the people that lost their life savings, not these random jobs people lost. You can easily get another job, you cant get your life savings back.
It probably was, but it would involve going through thousands of mortgage contracts and doing a background check on all the borrowers. A task that even the rating agencies avoided.
There are always tell tale signs of impending issues to come. But we never pay any heed. The reason is coz we fashion ourselves around market buzz and cannot comprehend any of it until later on when its a little too late
the crisis did not start with Lehman Brothers. it stsrted in 2007 when all of the large investment bank were taking heavy losses. The cris really git going with the dmfailure of Bear Stearns in March 2008.
Minuto 9:24.- Lo que dice Chris Rubbock, es que los Bancos ofrecían casas con hipotecas con pagos más allá de las posibilidades de pago del futuro deudor hipotecario, ya que su salario (y sus futuros aumentos) NO alcanzarían a pagar las mensualidades hipotecarias (con sus incrementos , sobre todo a tasa variable), lo que provocaría, en algún tiempo, el impago por necesidad, dejando la deuda semi pagada y al Banco ya sin recibir pagos. Se engatuzaba, engañaba (previa ilusión de la casa mas alla de su posibilidad dalarial) al cliente, mediante la alteración que el empleado bancario le llenaba la solicitud del credito, diciendo, donde el cliente, ganaba más salario del verdadero. (Años 1980 y subsiguientes)
Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poors, Moodys; credit rating agencies, defrauded millions of retired worker founds saying the lend mortgage where given to people with enough money to pay. It's crazy these 3 still operate.

This all well and good. And Lehman Brothers was the fuse lighting point. But still, I want to know what bank paid the lobbyist to persuade Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd to pass the legislation that created this whole disaster! And why on earth were Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd put in charge of investigating themselves!
When banks lend out far more money than they have on deposit, any hiccup is the potential for disaster. Washington DC pushed Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac to underwrite mortgages for people that were not credit worthy. The banks just took advantage of that.
5:15 this kind of explanation and diagram is used in various videos but still not very clear to me.. Who would buy these debts? If they have money to buy debts, why not use the money to pay off their mortgages? Why bet on others making bets? And who decided the ratio 20:1 or whatever it was.. The poor will stay poor but why the banks collapse if it was working so well?
@@robertgworek2497 Bad business decisions? Dude it was outright FRAUD! The banks knowingly sold SHITBAG prime home loans and packaged them with a few solid home loans...and labeled them all AAA. That's fraud. And the ratings agencies colluded by signing off on them as AAA knowing that they werent. That's FRAUD.
Can someone please explain to me how come people couldn't pay their mortgage anymore when the prices were going down? Shouldn't be the other way around? I never got that
Well some people were upside down on their loans so they can't get their money back as long as people are not wiling to exchange at least as much as they spent on an item. 2nd with 30 year mortgages those payments and rates assuming they are fixed remain the same for the life of that loan unless refinanced which I have heard is difficult to do when the house drops in price. If everything I wrote is correct that might explain the issue(s).
A lot of first time buyers got adjustable rate mortgages because of low credit scores or bad credit all together. 4% for the first 3 years. Then would be adjusted to 7%. I'm not kidding. Those buyers had absolutely no chance of owning those houses
Yes. Clearly, the fault lies with the sub-prime loan takers - they were the ones who willfully lied to the banks, and in doing so precipitated the entire crash. Certainly, it had nothing to do with predatory lending, unregulated markets, or investors counting on the government bailing them out when their boom went bust.
The mortgage brokers allowed all those people to overstate their income without doing the actual work which is to validate the information on those applications.
Sadly, banks continue to stumble, mortgage rates is on the rise with higher imports and lower exports, yet the FED is to lessen cost. So, where do we grow and safeguard our money now? something will eventually break if they keep raising interests and quantitative tightening.

He brought the most needed confidence and alone saved the world.
What about the rating agencies, Congress and AIG?
In a nutshell, people got greedy.
Got?? The system is built on greed. They were doing exactly what the system was designed to do: turn sweat into cash & take it from the folks who sweated..
In England, we have something called rhyming slang. It doesn't take much to come up with something suitable for the word 'bankers'

Dr. Agarwal articulated the issues very well.
It is still hard for me to believe that books with that many figures went to zero without anyone knowing before it was too late.
those CDO's were rated AAA
Yes hard to believe that making outlandish commissions for absolutely no work would make you blind😂
@@1greenMitsi The ratings agencies didn't do their job of evaluating these CDO's. The entire system was fraudulent. The government printed a bunch of money and at some point the next collapse will be even bigger than that one since no one was punished for creating that situation in the first place.
Oh, they knew. They just had to unwind their own positions before revealing the truth.
Most of them escaped with losses, but still escaped.
The executives? Yeah, they cashed out and took their bonuses.
They cooked the books months before the collapse
Tremaine questions are market protection of the native business, what complainers called bailing out of big banking or protected
There were a lot more causes of the crisis that really all came together at the same time even though people were warning as far back as late 90s this was going to happen, but it wasn't just one thing. And this has happened before in the past in different ways and will happen again in the future. Really it was like a volcano, a lot of things were going on underground the signs were there but then the top blew and everyone saw it
Most complex and costly bankruptcy ever
Thanks. For the information.
Privatise gains and socialise the losses. If you fail and you are big enough you basically get rewarded for risk taking & undermining the whole economy.
I lost my house and job. 😭
The guy that claims “no one could have seen this coming” is so delusion that it’s comical.
See it wasn’t the Wall Street Banks, that caused a problem. It was the greed of the investors.
Fantastic film. The Big Short was a perfect movie about this.
Its weird how they make it out like people that worked at Lehman losing their jobs was part of the crisis, it wasnt. It was the people that lost their life savings, not these random jobs people lost. You can easily get another job, you cant get your life savings back.
What's the point of earning a lot of money?!?! You can only buy THE SAME THINGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE ELSE!
Was it possible to see the underlying loans before purchasing these MBS's? It seems that some people knew what was in them according to the Big Short.
It probably was, but it would involve going through thousands of mortgage contracts and doing a background check on all the borrowers. A task that even the rating agencies avoided.
too much trust in the system,
CNBC's The Week That Shook The World, was fascinating.
There are always tell tale signs of impending issues to come. But we never pay any heed. The reason is coz we fashion ourselves around market buzz and cannot comprehend any of it until later on when its a little too late
I'm glad he can smile when he was part of the problem.
No more bail outs!
What happened to letting the market decide?
the crisis did not start with Lehman Brothers. it stsrted in 2007 when all of the large investment bank were taking heavy losses. The cris really git going with the dmfailure of Bear Stearns in March 2008.
Bare sterns got bailed out
These companies are greedy.
They’ve always be greedy. Always will. What changed was deregulation.
People are greedy.
props to that guy for just saying he was wrong
All the banking sharks smelt blood in the water and went into a feeding frenzy.
... sharks follow instincts, but who poured the blood in the water?
This is exactly when I got my mortgage- with no money down! It was crazy
Minuto 9:24.- Lo que dice Chris Rubbock, es que los Bancos ofrecían casas con hipotecas con pagos más allá de las posibilidades de pago del futuro deudor hipotecario, ya que su salario (y sus futuros aumentos) NO alcanzarían a pagar las mensualidades hipotecarias (con sus incrementos , sobre todo a tasa variable), lo que provocaría, en algún tiempo, el impago por necesidad, dejando la deuda semi pagada y al Banco ya sin recibir pagos. Se engatuzaba, engañaba (previa ilusión de la casa mas alla de su posibilidad dalarial) al cliente, mediante la alteración que el empleado bancario le llenaba la solicitud del credito, diciendo, donde el cliente, ganaba más salario del verdadero. (Años 1980 y subsiguientes)
Thanks
These Indian guys who were totally drunk on the Kool Aid, but who are now in documentaries about how they knew and were very concerned at the time 😅
Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poors, Moodys; credit rating agencies, defrauded millions of retired worker founds saying the lend mortgage where given to people with enough money to pay. It's crazy these 3 still operate.

This all well and good. And Lehman Brothers was the fuse lighting point. But still, I want to know what bank paid the lobbyist to persuade Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd to pass the legislation that created this whole disaster! And why on earth were Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd put in charge of investigating themselves!
When banks lend out far more money than they have on deposit, any hiccup is the potential for disaster. Washington DC pushed Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac to underwrite mortgages for people that were not credit worthy. The banks just took advantage of that.
I didn't hear anything about how these investment firms knew the government would bail them out when it imploded too.
Whenever a bank says your money is safe, get it out as fast as you can

Who would buy these debts? If they have money to buy debts, why not use the money to pay off their mortgages?
Why bet on others making bets? And who decided the ratio 20:1 or whatever it was..
The poor will stay poor but why the banks collapse if it was working so well?
Interesting how no one went to jail!
For what? This affected people's life, but eventually those were just bad business decisions.
@@robertgworek2497 Bad business decisions? Dude it was outright FRAUD! The banks knowingly sold SHITBAG prime home loans and packaged them with a few solid home loans...and labeled them all AAA. That's fraud. And the ratings agencies colluded by signing off on them as AAA knowing that they werent. That's FRAUD.
Millionaires don’t go to jail..
Tens of millions had their lives ruined by this.

How is it possible...for a business to lose $613 billion dollars within a year?
Mismanagement, greed, and stupidity
Lehman Brothers proved that it is possible. LOL
Can someone please explain to me how come people couldn't pay their mortgage anymore when the prices were going down? Shouldn't be the other way around? I never got that
Well some people were upside down on their loans so they can't get their money back as long as people are not wiling to exchange at least as much as they spent on an item. 2nd with 30 year mortgages those payments and rates assuming they are fixed remain the same for the life of that loan unless refinanced which I have heard is difficult to do when the house drops in price. If everything I wrote is correct that might explain the issue(s).
@@donaldlyons17Excellent description. Do you think another 2008 could happen in 2024?
@@armandorey557 I hope not!!!
A lot of first time buyers got adjustable rate mortgages because of low credit scores or bad credit all together. 4% for the first 3 years. Then would be adjusted to 7%. I'm not kidding. Those buyers had absolutely no chance of owning those houses
THE SAME PLAYERS ARE IN PLACE; THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE OF THESE FINANCIAL GENIUSES.

Who will
Be the next big bank to collapse?
Bank of America
Luckily after this governments all over the world reintroduced strong regulations to prevent banks taking such massive risks in the future,right?
This behavior is just human nature, we can't help ourselves if the opportunity presents itself.

What could possibly go wrong….
Too many people were overstating their income on their loan applications, and collectively they all defaulted.
Yes. Clearly, the fault lies with the sub-prime loan takers - they were the ones who willfully lied to the banks, and in doing so precipitated the entire crash. Certainly, it had nothing to do with predatory lending, unregulated markets, or investors counting on the government bailing them out when their boom went bust.
The mortgage brokers allowed all those people to overstate their income without doing the actual work which is to validate the information on those applications.
What was the bailout for in Bear Stearns case. It evident that capitalism is unsustainable?
Why don't we talk about the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac disaster???, which is where it all really started, and not to mention the Fed's monetary policy
Greed and no accountability = Failure
