Putting well earned money into the stock market can be over emphasize for first time investors unlike a bank where interest is sure thing. Well basically times are uncertain, the stock market is out of control and banks are gradually failing. I’m planning on a ballpark figure of $3million for retirement and I have about $700k loaded up for this, could they be any opportunities for a boomer like me?

That’s why I always make it a point to speak with a financial advisor before choosing any investments. Apparently, I’ve been using one since the pandemic, using profits oriented tactics and minimizing risks as a buffer against inevitable downtrends. In addition they have valuable access to insider knowledge and analysis, making failure virtually impossible for them. I’ve made over $1.5million passively investing with John Desmond Heppolette, my advisor for over three years now.

Every time that I hear Economists talking about raising interest rates to fix inflation, without a care for the 3 million people that this will put out of work, makes me angry. When wages increase they say that it's driving inflation. What does that tell me, that they want to help make the rich, richer at the expense of working people?

My Congressman is Ro Khanna and he's not going to do shit. Amusingly my first job was temping on his first political campaign where he was trying to primary someone who had high approval ratings and had held the seat longer than Ro had been alive. He obviously lost. In the process his campaign manager tried to get the temps to work unpaid overtime, violating their contract and his contract with the agency, saying "when we win, we will need good people in Washington," knowing full well they wouldn't win and that the whole thing was pointless exploitation. Suffice to say I have no respect for Ro Khanna, who also happens to be the Congress rep for SVB.

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. And banks should not be bailed out. They should take responsibility for terrible decision-making.

Thank you Prof. Wolff, for letting us know how the system is crashing due to the contradictions of capitalism. You mention 3 banks but couldn't remember one of them. That one was Silvergate Bank which was invested heavily in bitcoin, and it became the first to go when Peter Thiel pulled money out of it. But it's more than 3! We've actually had 4 banks fail so far, and 2 more are in trouble. The failed ones in order of failure are: Silvergate Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and Credit Suisse. The other 2 that are in trouble are First Republic Bank and Charles Schwab and Associates. Credit Suisse and Schwab are huge, systemically important banks with Schwab holding $7 trillion in assets. God knows how many of those $7 trln in assets are in trouble.

I've heard the term _"Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for everyone else."_ I absolutely loathe this saying. Bailing out banks and the rich is NOT Socialism. It's Crony Capitalism. There is nothing in the Socialist ideology that says we need to prevent someone that is being reckless with their money from going broke. These banks invested their money poorly and are suffering the consequences. Having the government bail them out just proves the corporate capture, the corruption of Wallstreet that we suffer in the U.S. (and, indeed, the world over).

SVB definitely made a mistake and they should be punished for it, but the decision by the federal reserve is a good one. It basically limits the impact of a bank failure on the rest of the economy by guaranteeing payment to depositors. Of course the only downside might be inflation...but for a moderate sized bank, and to only satisfying depositors, I hardly think it will be unmanageable.
@mlayton1904
@mlayton1904 Жыл бұрын
The problem is that this bank was too important to fail. So, for those smaller banks that aren't, it will be unwise for depositors to keep their money in them because they don't matter and will not get the same bailout. SVP and its depositors are major democratic funders, therefore they matter. There will be a migration of depositors from small banks to too-big-to-fail banks.

What should we do about the failure of the government? The reason the banks are failing is because the bond market is messed up and the bond market is messed up because we printed trillions of dollars and caused inflation. Never fails to amaze me when I see Marxist ideas lcrash the economy and then I see people thinking Marxist ideas can save it. Printing money got us in this boat printing money is about as anti capitalist as it gets.

As somebody else pointed out in another video, all consumer deposits are insured up to $250,000, so when the government starts bailing out the banks, it is not to save you and me (the average joe) from losing our savings, it's to save the rich and the big corporations money.

Yes but when big corporations have big losses or go broke, thousands/millions of workers lose their jobs, the system keeps the average Joe hostage one way or the other. It's a system based on economic blackmail, if we (the rich) go broke, your children will go hungry.

@@JoelSantos-lk9tu There is more information now. Sounds like all the "depositors" will be made whole, which I am fine with, those people and businesses put their money into that bank in good faith. The bank (SVB) will be liquidated, shareholders, speculators and bank execs will all lose everything, which is how it should be. Hopefully they will do a stock sale clawback, so they will take the money back from the bank president and the other execs that sold their stocks in the last few weeks before the colapse.

After transferring some funds, I spoke with a Fidelity Investment representative a couple of days ago and he informed me that ALL depositors, even those who had accounts in excess of $250,000, would be covered by the government bail out of SVB. Upon hearing that, I immediately wondered how this action will ultimately effect the average American's taxes. However, the bigger question is, "Does anyone still have any faith, whatsoever, in any branch of our corporate owned government and MSM"?
