A *MASSIVE* Bank Run *JUST* Started | DO THIS NOW | The 2023 Financial Collapse.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
this video could be the most important
video that you watch in finance this
year because a potential 2008 is brewing
and it just started let's just put it
this way there's a bank called Silicon
Valley Bank that is now having trouble
helping you withdraw your money that's
because they're suffering from what's
known as a bank run everybody's trying
to get their money out of small Banks
and you should too I'm not trying to
cause Panic I'm trying to prevent you
from losing access to your Capital be
very careful because there are dirty
things happening on balance sheets and
you already have panicked investors like
Bill Ackman begging the government to
bail out the banks that are not letting
people get their money out of the banks
right now that's scary because the banks
have already squandered that money
there's a reason why Silicon Valley Bank
dropped 45 in one day and even though
the stock is suspended right now is
likely to end today down another 50
percent this is despite the fact that
people like Jim Cramer told us
everything is fine at Silicon Valley
Bank this company is a merchant bank
with a deposit base That Wall Street had
been stately concerned about SUV's on
Silicon Valley Bank recently bought one
of our favorite research firms Buffett
Nathanson it's become less dependent
upon private equity and venture
capitalist offerings wait a second let's
try to play sure they could come back
yeah some of them come back here with a
stock directly affectionate oversold
position stock was the fourth worst
performer in 2022. I think the fears
were not justified and it's a very
compelling situation yes that was Jim
Cramer literally talking about this bank
that's now trading for under a hundred
dollars a share back when it was 300
saying Wall Street is wrong to think
that this Bank isn't distract yet now
the bond market is starting to price in
that this Bank could go bankrupt then
again Jim Cramer's track record isn't
that great here he is talking about bear
Stearns back before the company went
bankrupt look at what it was trading for
when Jim Cramer was pitching it okay
Peter writes sure
in terms of liquidity and get my money
out there no
your money yeah this is real okay if
there's one takeaway other than the plus
400 somewhere bear Stearns is not in
trouble I mean if anything they're more
likely to be taken over
don't move your money from Fair that's
just being silly don't be silly okay
just so you get a sense of what's
causing the agony by this point I know
you've been talking about it it's
financials led by bear Stearns after
what essentially is a bailout from the
FED bear Stern shares down 90 percent
this morning and it's not just bear
pretty much every single bank is
plunging an early trade this morning
Lehman which is very similar to bear and
its Reliance on fixed income is down
nearly 30 percent you have big names
like Goldman Sachs down eight percent
Citigroup down eight percent so it is
paying across the board this morning and
as you know it all emanates from uh this
well the shock this weekend that JP
Morgan along with the Fed was going to
be bailing out bear Stearns for two
dollars a share this is a stock that
recently was trading at 80 last year was
trading at 160. it is the fifth biggest
bank on Wall Street it is significant in
that it is establishing a price for some
of these hard to Value Securities and as
you are well aware that price is pretty
much zero and that's why why you're
seeing pain across the street it's also
despite the fact that JP Morgan said
everything is fine at Silicon Valley
Bank in fact we think it's going to go
to the moon and it's going to be worth
375 dollars they never told you that
maybe there would be a bank run and
their assets are toxic their money raise
is failing the money raised we're going
to talk about that they announced
yesterday has already failed we'll talk
about that as we go through the sheets
in this video but the stocks are likely
to close down even more today as they
Trend towards bankruptcy but the
contagion is not just Silicon Valley
Bank it's already spreading First
Republic Bank is presently Frozen for
trading because First Republic Bank of
San Francisco is down 21 on the day and
likely to fall more we have to pay
attention to this because this could be
the beginning of a 2008 financial crisis
again but with two quick notes that St
Patty's Day is coming up so we've
started the amazing sale on the programs
and building your wealth linked down
below prices will be going up after that
sale and if you're interested in
investing in my startup house hack that
opportunity will end March 31st for
accredited investors where you can still
get warrants and then we're moving on to
the non-accredited round probably in May
or June househack.com Silicon Valley
Bank is a complete disaster and it
should scare you this is the 15th
largest bank and it basically used to
probably still at this point does but
not for long back about half of all
Silicon Valley startups Silicon Valley
and startups are notorious for losing
money and in tough times going bankrupt
basically potentially being vampire
companies that if they don't have a
product that can cash flow end up
sucking more cash out of the systems
only to potentially go bankrupt and
unfortunately
one of the first Banks uh exposed to the
Silicon Valley startup world is going
under well at least they say they're not
going under but and some people actually
think it's a buying opportunity but I
think they've lost their mind because
this is really bad let's go ahead and
cover what's going on so let me give you
a little bit of background first
basically there's a banking world where
what banks like to do is they take
customer deposits and then what they do
with those deposits is they invest them
in things to collect yields basically to
yield Farm if you will and what a lot of
banks did is they would take deposits
and then they put that money into bonds
and they would those bonds would vary
they could be treasury bonds shorter
duration ones not very risky right if
you put your money into six months 12
months 18 month bonds little risk
because you could just hold those bonds
and take money from them right over time
and when you need the cash the money
shows up in 6 12 18 months but what
happens if you've committed to let's say
mortgage bonds and you've committed a
lot and I mean billions of dollars to
mortgages which are much longer in
duration like commercial bonds which
might be a 10 20 years residential bonds
which could be as long as 30 years well
all of a sudden when interest rates go
up the value of your bonds plummet and
that means your balance sheet has what
are known as unrealized losses and when
you need to raise money you might have
to start realizing some of those losses
that's exactly what just happened at a
Silicon Valley Bank and it's leading to
potential fears that we could see a bank
run where people basically go to the
bank and say we're taking all of our
money out of the bank because we don't
trust you anymore the problem though is
if everybody starts withdrawing their
money from the 15th largest bank what
does that mean for the rest of the
banking system well let me give you a
little hint it's bad news yesterday 90
billion dollars of banking market cap
evaporated on the market and that is
because institutions are very fearful
about what just happened with Silicon
Valley bank now this is different I want
to be very clear it's very different
from silverty silvergate was a Community
Bank in California much smaller that
helped provide liquidity in the crypto
space it basically let Banks or or gave
people an on and off ramp to go from
dollars to crypto 24 7 was their pitch
they're liquidating they're closing down
their Bank well just a day after
silvergate suggests you know what we
can't survive anymore we've got to close
down our bank
who who Falls next well now potentially
the 15th largest bank now before we go
into some of the financials I want you
to know some of the background of what's
going on
Peter Thiel
he has has a venture capital fund and he
started telling all of his companies to
withdraw their money from Silicon Valley
Bank the more people withdraw their
money from the bank the less cash the
bank has since Banks generally invest
their money into something that might be
upside down when people demand cash what
happens the bank has to take more losses
on loans or bonds or whatever they have
when the bank takes more losses then
eventually they might default on their
own borrowings on their own obligations
and when a company with what used to be
210 211 billion dollars of assets starts
defaulting on some of their own debt
guess who starts taking the L then well
potentially companies like JP Morgan
Goldman Sachs other big companies
big Banks that's when you really start
having potentially systemic issues
there's a reason why Bill Ackman is
suggesting that the Federal Reserve
should actually bail out silver uh
Silicon Valley Bank how crazy is that
right back to 2008 bailout world because
we are concerned about the consequences
of a bank run at one company potentially
spreading
but it's not just Peter Thiel who
suggests you know what there's
relatively low risk of you taking your
money out of a bank but you don't want
to be the last person standing why would
you take the non-zero risk of
potentially losing your Capital at a
bank if you could just withdraw your
money and go put it in a safer Place
remember anytime you have more than 250
000 at a bank you're generally over the
FDIC limits now I say generally because
sometimes you can have your money
divided up by something like Robin Hood
where they divide your money into
multiple banks for you but what's
remarkable here it's not just the 90
billion dollar banking Wipeout but the
fear that is spreading Peter Thiel
suggests people take their money out of
Silicon Valley Bank not only that but
you've got Venture firm tribe Capital
advising companies move some or all of
their balances out of the bank as soon
as possible because the risk of a
default and essentially being the last
person standing without any money and
then you get caught up in litigation for
year years to try to get Pennies on your
dollar back is non-zero in other words
get out
there's another Capital company sending
emails and text messages
urgently imploring their CEOs to move
money out of Silicon Valley Bank this is
a classic Bank Run that's what this is
this is a bank run so you have the 15th
largest bank in America now going
through a bank run during a Fed induced
recession so why is the market pissed
well the Market's really pissed because
this is exactly the kind of Black Swan
event that everyone is worried about
that could potentially take down a
greater portion of the financial system
that's very scary that's why you have
Bill Ackman saying hey
we need to bail this company out because
if we don't things could actually end up
being worse that's scary but think about
this
if you really want to see why the
markets are fearful all you have to do
is now look at stock prices look at what
the bond market is telling you the bond
market was telling you ah the fed's
probably going to raise rates 50 basis
points soon ah the terminal rate's going
to go up to 5.6 oh Break Even inflation
rates are rising what actually happened
all of those were versed Break Even
inflation rates on the five-year
plummeted about 45 basis points
yesterday that's a big deal that means
we were starting to show signs of
potentially inflation expectations
running away which is really bad for
inflation potentially shows that uh oh
Paul volcker's got to come to town soon
because inflation's being sticky oh nope
those inflation expectations plummeted
but they didn't plummet because
inflation is now all of a sudden not a
problem anymore they're plummeting
because of fears about real financial
distress in the banking sector the last
place you want to hear about a crisis
because that's what led to the 2008
crisis a real estate bubble that led to
a failure of financial institutions
that's scary listen to Bill Ackman for
example Bill Ackman tweeted to be clear
a bailout should be designed to protect
Silicon Valley Bank depositors not
Equity holder so he's already having to
defend this argument that the government
should guarantee Silicon Valley Bank he
says the failure of Silicon Valley Bank
could destroy an important long-term
driver of the economy as venture-backed
companies rely on Silicon Valley Bank
for loans and holding their operating
cash in other words Bill Ackman is
starting to say look Silicon Valley Bank
goes away and they stop providing loans
to venture capital well then Silicon
Valley goes bust and all the people who
think they're rich in Silicon Valley
they go bust they stop spending money
they stop spending money good luck at
earnings for companies in the S P 500 or
the NASDAQ this is exactly the kind of
Black Swan you want to avoid and so this
is why Bill Ackman says if private
Capital can't provide a solution a
highly dilutive government preferred
bailout should be considered you
literally have Bill Ackman the guy who
went on CNBC screaming that we should
lock down the entire economy for 30 days
to stop the spread of covet just shut
everything down while he's actively
shorting the market he's on CNBC yelling
shut everything down
he basically perfectly made the bottom
of the market March 23rd of uh of 2020.
the same person is now saying the
government should bail out Silicon
Valley Bank
the same person
now this is insane because not only is
he calling for this kind of bailout but
what's actually really interesting is
Jim Cramer made a CNBC video just a few
days ago he had a piece on uh Silicon
Valley Bank and unfortunately much like
bear Stearns suggested Silicon Valley
Bank is potentially a buying opportunity
before it lost 60 percent yesterday and
another 50 percent in pre-market right
now this is eerily similar and ways that
you don't want it to be similar
to 2008 and to the collapse of bear
Stearns bear Stearns was about a 40 to
50 dollar stock when Jim Cramer told us
your money is safe with bear Stearns and
what ended up happening
the company ended up being bailed out by
JP Morgan for ten dollars per share
massive collapse from that point the
same thing is now happening with Silicon
Valley Bank it was almost the kiss of
death for Silicon Valley Bank
but it's not just that it's the
financials I want you to see the
financials of how dirty these financials
actually are and what the company is
doing and why the stock is falling as
much as it is so take a look here this
document right here shows you first of
all I wrote some notes at the top in
terms of uh some some losses here that
have been happening with the stock but
first I want you to look at this today
we took strategic actions to strengthen
our financial position basically we's
running out of money but not only are we
running out of money the company sold
substantially all of their available for
sale Securities portfolio with the
intention of reinvesting the proceeds
and commenced an underwritten public
offering in other words the company is
scrambling to raise
2.25 billion dollars 1.25 billion from
shares 500 million from another private
company general Atlantic who's investing
500 million and then a bond race in
other words the company as of
yesterday's market cap is scrambling to
raise one third of the company's value
in cash just to try to stay afloat
that's very bad very bad and look they
provide a lot of liquidity for Silicon
Valley and startups but that liquidity
is now gone because the company doesn't
have any money anymore now could this
have been seen how could you see things
like this potentially coming well the
beautiful thing is you could go into
their earnings and you could see where
these losses actually Mount up and it's
kind of scary to look at but we'll take
a look at exactly it because these are
the things that if you're exposed to
banking stocks you potentially want to
start paying attention to so first thing
we have to do is we're going to go to
the Q4 report from Silicon Valley Bank
Silicon Valley Bank Q4 and we can jump
on over to page 14 of the Silicon Valley
Q4 report and I want you to see what you
have over here so this is page 14 of Q4
and what I want you to know is this
company just took an over 1.8 billion
dollar loss on their available
Securities and what I want you to see
here is the net income for this company
the net income for this company on an
annual basis was 1.5 billion dollars
last year
1.77 the year before that they just in
one Fell Swoop lost over one year of
income okay it's not just that though
because even though they may have taken
around a two billion dollar loss that's
just the beginning because their losses
are actually substantially greater than
that and you could see unfortunately
similar things in the banking sector and
other areas as well which I'll show you
so now we're going to go to the annual
report and we're going to look at page
64. so what do we have at page 64. well
page 64 shows you where this company
this is silvergate has unrealized losses
so what banks are allowed to do is
they're allowed to show you hey look we
have a lot of bonds and security
Holdings see here are some of our
residential bonds here are some of our
commercial bonds here's some uh of the
the other agency bonds that we have
these could be like to Jeannie Mae
Fannie Mae where these bonds are doesn't
so much matter but what's scary are the
potential unrealized losses that this
company has and what you're going to
find is they have losses in excess of 15
billion dollars take a look at this this
is the actual Q4 right here and what you
can see right here is the helter
maturity Securities Show an actual value
of a 76 billion dollars but they're
actually showing them on their balance
sheet at 91 billion dollars so this is
how the banking system can literally lie
to you in your face they will tell you
on their balance sheet look we have 91
billion dollars in available capital
from these hell to maturity Securities
like those bonds that I showed you oh
but in this footnote over here we're
actually going to let you know that
that's actually only worth 76 billion
dollars that difference is an unrealized
15 billion dollars of losses at the 15th
largest bank in the country that's
because they're yielding may be about
1.9 percent on the average of their bond
portfolio well free risk-free rates
right now are sitting around four
percent in order to sell off these bonds
to raise cash you basically have to give
the bonds away and why would you have to
sell bonds well you have to sell bonds
when people stop depositing money with
your bank and guess what startups don't
have money to deposit with your bank
anymore so now not only are you running
out of the potential deposits that
basically fund your Ponzi but people are
actively being told to as quickly as
possible withdraw money from Silicon
Valley bank now JP Morgan wouldn't have
been any use to you unfortunately
because take a look at this that I saw
on Twitter somebody posted this from
November 15th of 2022 and they wrote
they provided this JP Morgan piece which
gave an overrate weighting of this stock
of 375 dollars and they bragged about
how even though this company has
unrealized losses this company is
probably going to see a massive inflow
of client funds and the exact opposite
is happening so in other words you add
JPMorgan covering for Silicon Valley
Bank which is now I mean the stocks
trading for for a fraction of what it
has been trading for so right now
Silicon Valley Bank is trading for a
hundred and six dollars in pre-market it
is actually down to 36 dollars
the day before yesterday it was trading
for 267 dollars and it had a price
Target from JP Morgan of over a hundred
dollars more than that of 375. so in
other words JP Morgan was telling the
world oh don't worry this bank's gonna
get massive inflows it's worth 375
dollars not only is it worth 375 dollars
but we know it's only trading for 275
right now and don't worry about all the
unrealized losses the company has don't
worry it's fine they'll get massive
inflows from their clients well now not
only are they not getting deposits
they're basically suffering a bank run
people are running to the the exits as
you should I would not be speculating on
this Bank I'd be getting my money out of
a Silicon Valley Bank if I had any money
exposed to them or any of the other
companies that they're involved with I I
personally would recommend getting my
money out but anyway so you have a stock
trading for in the 260s that JP Morgan
says is worth 375 because don't worry
money's gonna come in then money stops
coming in the Ponzi stops the stock goes
down to 100 bucks now it's down to
thirty six dollars at the same time as
the company is trying to raise a third
of their yesterday market cap okay but
wait a minute if the stock is now down
another two-thirds that means they're
basically trying to raise as much money
as their market cap they're going to
crush this stock this is like rivian all
over again except it's in the banking
sector and rather than just a car
company going bankrupt where you have a
car company that's worth 15 billion
dollars supposedly that needs to raise
another 15 billion dollars to survive
rather than just having a car company
going bankrupt this could really have
systemic issues for the entire Financial
system and this is why bond yields are
actually falling this is why
expectations are uh oh the fed's not
going to go 50 because they could
actually break what's turning out to be
a fragile banking system this is scary
not only is it scary because you think
okay well it's just Silicon Valley Bank
like who cares right it's worse than
that I want you to see three pages from
the JP Morgan annual report and in my
opinion this is scary okay you ready for
this I don't like this I don't like
reporting bad news but look at this
first I want you to look at this
JP Morgan on their balance sheet shows
185 billion dollars that they have lent
out to other institutions they also hold
hell to maturity Securities much like
Silicon Valley Bank data somewhere
around 600 billion dollars right here
but be careful because Securities
borrowed means Securities or or like
bonds or whatever things they've lent
out to other companies it's an asset
that's how you know see assets that's
how you know it's lent to someone else
well what happens if a Silicon Valley
Bank has to start defaulting on stuff
they've borrowed well then JPMorgan
potentially starts getting hit and what
if they have to start raising money well
then you have a big oopsy-doopsy why do
you have an oopsy-doopsy because JP
Morgan as well has massive unrealized
losses look at this folks right here
unrealized gains slash losses on
investment Securities
11.7 billion dollars but it gets worse
ready for this we go to we go to I mean
this this is like insane it's it's like
borderline fraudulent you ready for this
look at this over here so that's just
the available for sale Securities losses
right watch this chart this is from JP
Morgan December 31st JP Morgan this
isn't Silicon Valley Bank anymore this
is JP Morgan look at this this column
here is unrealized gains this column
here is unrealized losses which means
they're actually not showing up on net
loss yet they're just sitting on those
losses oh it ain't a loss until you sold
well what if you suffer a bank run or
other Banks stop start losing their
capital or defaulting on their
obligations to you JPMorgan well watch
this you ready for this follow that
column okay the left side is unrealized
gains the right side is unrealized
losses you ready for this unrealized
gains 995 million unrealized losses
47.9 billion dollars of unrealized
losses at JP Morgan
47.9 billion dollars of unrealized
losses do you think the the 15 billion
over there at Silicon Valley Bank is bad
JP Morgan's got three over three times
as much in unrealized losses now
hopefully JP Morgan and the other Banks
don't hit any kind of banking crisis or
bank run because then you'll really got
oopsie doopsy problems now I don't think
so but let me put it this way you got to
pay attention to Silicon Valley Bank
this is not a matter of some stock that
you wish you shorted two days ago
everyone and their mom wishes they
shorted it two days ago okay that's not
the issue the issue if nobody really
cares about Silicon Valley Bank other
than people who have deposits there and
then some of the Venture Capital folks
who are like damn it there goes our easy
money I mean quite frankly money is
still so easy which is insane the fact
that you could have an AI startup called
character AI which is just two employees
who left Google who worked in the AI
Department start a company in Andreessen
Horowitz gives them a 250 million dollar
cash bundle at over a billion dollar
valuation that shows you how frothy the
market still is it's absolutely insane
this is really bad this is the start of
what a Black Swan looks like it's the
beginning of the dominoes falling it's
really bad we don't yet know all of the
implications of this but you need to pay
attention to this whether you're exposed
or not
