FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

Janet Yellen just spoke on bailouts

0:02

Jerome Powell gave his opinion on bank

0:04

bailouts and the lagging effects of the

0:06

federal reserve's interest rate hikes

0:07

are finally hitting with the collapse of

0:10

a Silicon Valley Bank and silvergate

0:12

just last week now the largest bank

0:15

failure via svb since 2008 folks buckle

0:20

up and get ready svb and the FDIC have 8

0:24

500 employees now getting paid 1.5 x

0:28

their salary at Silicon Valley Bank for

0:31

the next 45 days just to help the bank

0:33

actually survive during the liquidation

0:36

process Silicon Valley Bank is expected

0:39

to open under FDIC receivership on a

0:42

Monday we expect a lot of people to be

0:45

in line at banks around the nation for

0:48

and quite frankly around the world given

0:50

that svb also has International

0:52

facilities looking to withdraw their

0:54

money from svb but it's not just svb

0:56

it's also the potential contagion risk

0:59

of people not knocking on the door of

1:01

banks like First Republic or other local

1:04

Regional Community Banks potentially

1:07

even Credit Unions as even Credit Unions

1:10

people are likely to be clamoring on the

1:12

doors of banks demanding to get their

1:14

money out of the banking system at first

1:17

we expect the bank run to only be

1:19

limited to smaller less likely to be

1:21

systemically important on banks those

1:24

are most likely to see the largest

1:26

withdrawals in that classic Bank Run

1:29

that we haven't seen since 2008 despite

1:32

the fact that this is exactly what

1:34

Donald Trump actually predicted might

1:36

happen during the 2020 election now back

1:39

then and it doesn't matter if you're on

1:41

the left or right you might have thought

1:42

it was hyperbole I think almost

1:44

everybody did because back in 2020 I

1:46

don't think many of us were thinking a

1:48

massive recession was coming in that

1:49

there would be bank failures much like

1:51

1929 and so whether or not he was making

1:54

that up or he has a crystal ball that's

1:56

what's happening now you're seeing the

1:58

prominent lender for wineries disappear

2:01

so Winery credit lines being frozen

2:03

companies like lemonade having money

2:05

tied up in a Silicon Valley Bank Roku

2:08

having 25 of their available cash tied

2:11

up rocket lab 38 million dollars of cash

2:14

tied up there's a particular a sofa even

2:17

has a 40 million dollar lending facility

2:19

tied up by Silicon Valley Bank and

2:22

usually money that's drawn on those

2:23

lending facilities that isn't used in

2:25

working capital has to be left deposited

2:27

with the bank as a lending Covenant

2:28

though we're not sure of that detail so

2:30

far of course I'm bragging that their

2:32

money is safe but of course we've never

2:34

heard anybody lie to us before about how

2:37

safe their money is hint hint

2:39

sandbankment free just two days before

2:40

don't worry everything is fine or how

2:43

about block fi the same morning don't

2:46

worry everything is fine just eight

2:48

hours later oh no everything's not fine

2:50

we are now bankrupt and we can't process

2:52

withdrawals anymore the worst thing that

2:56

you want to hear from a bank is don't

2:58

worry everything is a fine in a bank run

3:01

unfortunately that's just the way the

3:03

game is played banks have to fight for

3:05

their own Survival so they say what they

3:06

will to try to soothe people with money

3:10

in Banks so what should you do and what

3:12

do we think is going to happen because

3:14

right now fears of contagion are running

3:16

rampant Larry Summers is warning of

3:19

severe economic consequences if

3:20

Regulators don't smooth it Venture

3:22

capitalists who have a lot of money tied

3:24

up in startups that could go bankrupt if

3:26

they can't get their money out of

3:27

Silicon Valley Bank are scrambling on

3:30

Twitter saying it's The Regulators who

3:32

were asleep at the wheel that it's the

3:34

regulator's fault that Silicon Valley

3:36

Bank was able to get away with terrible

3:39

risk management procedures that led to

3:41

the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank

3:43

quite frankly there is a ton of finger

3:45

pointing even 180 tech companies sent a

3:49

letter to Jeremy Hunt the chancellor of

3:52

the exchequa in the United Kingdom

3:54

begging Jeremy Hunt to intervene and

3:57

guess what he said in the United Kingdom

3:59

for sale silicon Valley's branches there

4:01

sorry we ain't bail India out so what do

4:05

we think is going to happen in America

4:07

is it possible that the loss of deposits

4:10

by consumers at the Silicon Valley Bank

4:12

have the potential to the entire

4:14

sector and set the ecosystem back 20

4:17

years and Destroy potentially 10 years

4:20

of innovation in America as the CEO of Y

4:24

combinator wants you to believe is it

4:26

possible that the 16th largest bank in

4:29

America will end up leading to a

4:32

disaster financial crisis in the United

4:36

States and ultimately whose fault is it

4:39

well let's get into all of this and more

4:43

we're specifically going to refer to

4:44

history we are going to refer to what is

4:47

happening with hedge fund buyouts we're

4:49

going to refer to Jerome Powell Janet

4:51

Yellen we're going to talk about a

4:52

potential backstop fund we're going to

4:54

4:56

5:57

price guarantee that promises you you

5:59

will not have a lower price in the

6:02

future otherwise you'd get the

6:04

difference back but generally the

6:06

courses are on a straight path up when

6:08

it comes to pricing so what do we need

6:10

to talk about first let's briefly touch

6:12

on hedge fund buyouts what's happening

6:14

right now with startups is startups are

6:16

realizing that they have statements that

6:19

say hey man look we got a statement and

6:22

our statement says we have 10 million

6:24

dollars at the bank we need that working

6:26

capital Monday otherwise we're going

6:28

bankrupt and what are some hedge funds

6:31

doing they're coming in and saying write

6:33

us all of the rights to this account

6:36

that has 10 million dollars we will give

6:38

you six million dollars right now that

6:41

is called a hedge fund buyout where a

6:44

hedge fund literally swoops in and says

6:46

here's six million dollars write your

6:47

entire account over to us the benefit to

6:50

the startup is they get at least some

6:51

access to their Capital without having

6:54

to wait potentially weeks or months to

6:55

find out what happens once they're above

6:58

the uh the 250k FDIC limits or the other

7:01

limit depending on how your accounts are

7:03

structured now the benefit to the hedge

7:06

fund is if they end up getting a larger

7:08

bailout say a 70 80 90 or even a hundred

7:11

percent backstop the hedge fund gets

7:13

that other up to four million dollars

7:15

just in this example those hedge fund

7:17

buyouts are happening now because

7:20

businesses are actually panicking that

7:22

they might go bankrupt if they don't

7:24

have access to at least some of their

7:26

capital and folks this has happened

7:28

before in history obviously this has

7:31

happened back in the 2008 financial

7:33

crisis there's no doubt about that and

7:35

in nominal terms we have seen this

7:37

happen recently as well because consider

7:39

that in nominal terms we've had just a

7:42

wee bit of inflation here so when we

7:45

compare the current banking failure of

7:48

Silicon Valley Bank to banking failures

7:50

of 2008 it looks a little scary it's not

7:54

something you want to look at but I'm

7:55

going to show you anyway look on screen

7:57

now look at silicon Valley's 209 billion

8:01

dollars asset failure which almost

8:04

Rivals the 307 billion dollar bank

8:07

failure of Washington Mutual also known

8:09

as WAMU that ended up being bought up by

8:12

JP Morgan Chase I was actually part of

8:15

that because I personally had banks at

8:18

WAMU that ended up being converted to

8:20

JPMorgan assets which JPMorgan today is

8:24

the largest bank in the country with

8:25

over 3.3 trillion dollars in assets it's

8:30

absolutely insane but what does history

8:33

tell us well the first thing we could do

8:35

is we could look at the history of 1991

8:38

and 1991 gives us some insights into not

8:42

only Jerome Powell's opinion on bank

8:44

bailouts but we also learn what actually

8:47

ended up happening in 1991. let's go

8:50

ahead and start with Jerome Powell take

8:52

a look at what Jerome Powell did and

8:55

said back in a book written by hawks Ado

8:59

or actually titled talks doves and

9:01

jaybird anyway take a look at this page

9:04

here what you find here is a Harvard

9:06

academic whom Powell reported to came

9:09

down firmly on a one side now this is

9:12

this is a Harvard academic here and this

9:15

individual whom Powell reported to in

9:17

other words Powell's boss came down

9:20

firmly on one side Powell's boss hated

9:23

bailouts and Powell huddled with the

9:26

federal Governors uh or these various

9:28

different Governors at the treasury

9:30

Department about uh where we had the uh

9:34

boss of Jerome Powell pounding the table

9:37

insisting that depositors take a haircut

9:40

and pay for the sins of the bank if we

9:44

always run to the rescue he said it

9:46

creates a moral hazard so in other words

9:49

Jerome Powell grew up his financial

9:52

knowledge when here in 1991 when he was

9:57

just beginning his career in in

9:59

essentially monetary and fiscal policy

10:01

and his boss told us

10:05

that Banks should not be bailed out and

10:09

neither should depositors the reason for

10:12

that was it creates the impression that

10:15

the government will always run to the

10:17

rescue and it creates something known as

10:19

moral hazard which is a term the

10:21

insurance industry uses to refer to

10:23

people who take risks knowing they're

10:26

protected against larger losses now what

10:28

I think is fascinating about this is

10:30

think about this yourself it if you have

10:32

accidental damage protection for let's

10:35

say your iPhone you're much more likely

10:37

to take your iPhone on the roller

10:39

coaster and video yourself because if

10:41

you damage it you're insured anyway this

10:45

is the same thing obviously on a

10:46

different scale that also happens in our

10:50

economy when Banks believe that the

10:53

government is going to come in and save

10:55

depositors then what happens banks are

10:59

more likely to take on risky debt and

11:02

make risky loans because at the end of

11:04

the day the depositors will end up

11:06

getting protected anyway whether they

11:08

have more money than the FDIC Insurance

11:10

limits or not and this is where Jerome

11:13

Powell's boss insisted that depositors

11:16

end up taking a haircut to pay for the

11:19

sins of the bank and this is important

11:21

because this is the same kind of

11:23

discussion that is very likely happening

11:25

today we don't think that people who

11:28

have more than 250 000 at uh the fdi's

11:31

or over the FDIC limit at svb are going

11:35

to lose all of their money but consider

11:37

this let's say that the bank Silicon

11:41

Valley Bank has seven has enough money

11:43

to cover 70 deposits above the FDIC

11:46

limit let's say you're a startup with 10

11:49

million two hundred and fifty thousand

11:51

dollars at the bank well 250 000 gets

11:54

covered by FDIC so let's kill that and

11:56

say you have 10 million dollars above

11:58

the limit and now potentially through an

12:00

FDIC guided liquidation of the bank it's

12:03

possible that the individual or the

12:05

business with 10 million dollars could

12:07

get seven million dollars back this is

12:10

an example of receiving a haircut on a

12:13

deposit at a bank now some people say

12:15

why is it the responsibility of an

12:17

individual or a business to take a

12:19

haircut well it is that individual or

12:22

business whom technically received the

12:24

benefits and choice of working with that

12:26

bank and in a capitalistic environment

12:28

whether it is right or wrong a depositor

12:31

who share and the benefits of the bank

12:33

may also have to share in the risks of

12:35

the bank and this is exactly the kind of

12:37

discussion that's going to be happening

12:39

now because if Federal Regulators bail

12:42

out every deposit or to a hundred

12:43

percent it reiterates that hey as long

12:46

as you're in the top 16 of banks don't

12:48

worry the government will just come in

12:50

and bail you out even if you had

12:52

terrible risk management procedures at

12:54

the bank which Silicon Valley Bank did

12:57

we'll talk about those in a different

12:59

segment but here's what we think uh will

13:02

happen and this went on here so other

13:04

folks in the discussion argued that if

13:07

uninsured depositors take a haircut

13:09

there will end up being a run on every

13:12

American Bank when they open on Monday

13:15

and all those Money Center banks will be

13:18

at our door do you really want to run

13:20

that test and ultimately without dissent

13:24

Powell and crew chose to bail out banks

13:28

in 1991. now that's actually really

13:30

interesting but because the discussion

13:33

showed there was a thought that

13:35

depositor should take a haircut and not

13:37

everything should be bailed out and we

13:38

just got some hints from Janet Yellen

13:40

about what our government might be

13:42

thinking about doing today but let's go

13:44

ahead and jump into this first this is a

13:47

piece from

13:48

1991. this 1991 piece from The New York

13:53

Times shows us the following acting to

13:56

avert a run on one of the nation's

13:58

largest banking companies the federal

14:00

government today sees the Bank of New

14:02

England and two Affiliated Banks and

14:04

said it would protect all depositors

14:06

until the bank could be sold the rescue

14:09

is likely to cost taxpayers 2.3 billion

14:12

dollars listen to that if the government

14:14

bails out Silicon Valley Bank it's

14:17

likely to cost taxpayers money now

14:21

there's been some talk that maybe it

14:22

wouldn't don't worry it will it will

14:25

cost taxpayer money taxpayers money and

14:27

we will talk about it here now JD young

14:30

did just say we're not going to do that

14:32

again referring to bailouts but she gave

14:35

some hints about what they're

14:36

potentially going to do let me first

14:38

continue on with 1991. in 1991 there was

14:42

a bank run of 1 billion dollars being

14:44

withdrawn over two days

14:47

on Friday in America

14:50

42 billion dollars were withdrawn from

14:54

Silicon Valley Bank on just the Friday

14:56

think about the magnitude of that back

14:59

in 1991 you had just 500 000 per day

15:03

withdrawn and that led to the government

15:06

essentially creating a too big to fail

15:08

bailout on Friday we had 84 times the

15:14

bank run of that and that is why many

15:17

are scratching their head going wait a

15:20

second usually usually when the FDIC

15:23

takes over a bank you know what they do

15:26

they wait until 5 PM on Friday they take

15:30

the bank over they operate over the

15:33

weekend to officially

15:36

take over

15:37

the bank and then what they reopen

15:41

Monday now when did the FDIC take over

15:45

Silicon Valley Bank

15:48

at about 8 52 a.m Pacific time on Friday

15:53

in other words

15:55

Regulators went into this bank early

15:57

Friday morning and potentially late

15:59

Thursday and said this is so bad we're

16:02

not even going to wait until the day is

16:04

over we are going to shut the doors of

16:07

the bank just 52 minutes after the bank

16:10

opened and potentially in some cases

16:12

Banks don't even open until 9 A.M so

16:14

potentially this bank got shut before it

16:17

ever even opened that day

16:18

depending on the branch so anyway so we

16:21

talked about uh Powell's boss we talked

16:23

a little bit about uh a potentially

16:25

Janet Yellen we'll talk more about that

16:27

in just a moment but take a look at this

16:28

Bank of New England was the 33rd largest

16:32

bank in America at the time the Silicon

16:35

Valley Bank is the 16th largest bank in

16:40

America big difference so the bank is

16:43

twice as big as a ranking Factor as uh

16:46

the New York or the New England bank

16:48

that was bailed out was in 1991 but

16:51

there are also banks that did not get

16:54

bailed out and look at what happened to

16:55

them

16:56

here in 1990 the freedom National Bank

17:01

of New York in Harlem one of the

17:03

nation's largest minority-owned

17:05

institutions was not bailed out and as

17:08

the bank collapsed the FDIC ended up

17:11

deciding to only make good on 50 cents

17:15

on a dollar for all accounts larger than

17:19

the then FDIC limit a 50 Cent haircut

17:23

was created for banks in 1990. that's

17:28

actually surprising it is something that

17:30

could happen today but here's something

17:32

else that happened in the early 1990s

17:35

Governors like the governor of Rhode

17:38

Island ended up swooping in and actually

17:41

preemptively shutting down local banks

17:45

and Credit Unions for Fears that they

17:48

might not be solvent so in other words

17:50

you could literally have Regulators come

17:52

in and just close every local bank

17:56

potentially if not saying they will but

17:59

it's possible you could potentially have

18:01

Regulators come in close every local

18:03

bank and say give us a few weeks we need

18:05

to figure out what's going on this is

18:07

why it's incumbent upon you to probably

18:09

get your money out of local and Regional

18:10

and credit union banks that are local I

18:13

understand credit unions are different

18:14

we'll talk about that in a different

18:15

segment but most people do not

18:18

differentiate between credit unions and

18:20

Regional Banks they just go uh not JP

18:23

Morgan not Bank of America not Wells

18:24

okay let's move but honestly even Bank

18:27

of America and Wells are trending on

18:28

Twitter for people frustrated that their

18:30

Bank does not have enough cash on hand

18:32

for them to actually withdraw money now

18:35

even though those banks are deemed to be

18:37

too big to fail and stand under the

18:40

bazel 3 statutory requirements of

18:43

substantially stronger stress tests and

18:47

so technically you shouldn't have to

18:48

withdraw your money from those large

18:50

Banks people are freaking out that

18:52

branches are actually running out of

18:53

cash now do keep in mind branches do not

18:56

have an unlimited amount of cash so the

18:58

best thing you can do to guarantee that

19:00

you can get your money out of a facility

19:01

is come in with a bank account and

19:03

routing number and two forms of ID and

19:06

ask that it be wired out of your account

19:08

it's like an electronic funds transfer

19:10

that can happen same day usually if you

19:12

go in your bank before 1 pm Pacific time

19:15

and generally since it's probably going

19:16

to take time you'll probably have to

19:18

show up at like eight or nine to

19:19

actually get it done you can initiate

19:21

your wires online maybe that's even

19:22

easier

19:23

but what did Janet Yellen just tell us

19:26

well let's jump into exactly what she

19:28

just said because well we need to know

19:30

about it not only do we need to know

19:32

about it but we want to know about it

19:34

because ultimately Janet Yellen

19:38

so Janet Yellen uh and and this she had

19:42

about a 10 minute clip on with Face the

19:44

Nation this morning I'm just gonna sum

19:46

it up for you because I I respect your

19:48

time I'm also going to sum up what

19:49

rokana said about the Silicon Valley

19:51

Bank uh uh right after that in the

19:54

collapse so we're going to go through

19:55

both of those but what did Jen Yellen

19:57

say this morning Janet Yellen told us

20:00

that they are paying attention to

20:03

exactly what's happening at Silicon

20:05

Valley bank and they are coming up with

20:07

a plan now this is really interesting

20:10

she said that they will not bail out

20:13

Banks like they did in 2008 but there is

20:17

a Nuance there generally now especially

20:19

if you look on Twitter or in the

20:21

financial news media you're going to see

20:23

the word bailout be different from a

20:26

protection of depositors especially the

20:29

Venture capitalists who are getting

20:31

screwed they're making this very clear

20:33

distinction hey a bailout is when you

20:36

bail out the owners of the bank like

20:38

shareholders bondholders people who have

20:42

Bank preferred stock basically people

20:44

who are associated with the profits of

20:46

the bank that's deemed to be a bailout

20:48

these days on social media whereas

20:51

protecting depositors is what people are

20:53

clamoring for and the idea here is that

20:56

if as long as there's no quote-unquote

20:59

bailout of the profit holders hey we

21:02

could protect depositors so what did

21:05

Janet Yellen say when she was asked

21:07

about protecting depositors she said

21:09

quote we're working timely on a solution

21:13

she was specifically asked will you have

21:15

a solution before the Asian markets open

21:18

today Sunday Sunday afternoon she said

21:21

we're working Timely

21:23

well what kind of plans are you working

21:26

on Janet Yellen what was the answer the

21:28

answer is we're working on some kind of

21:32

solution to prevent contagion that's

21:35

what she said she did not say that they

21:39

would protect depositors she made it

21:41

very clear that they would not bail out

21:44

this bank so let's write this down and

21:46

try to picture this a little bit more

21:48

clearly

21:49

so on the full left side you have what's

21:52

known as basically a full bailout this

21:54

is where you come swooping and you

21:56

really you try to protect shareholders

21:58

bondholders anyone associated with a

22:00

bank

22:01

in the middle you have what's known as

22:03

protecting depositors right people who

22:06

have deposits on hand with the bank

22:08

protecting them is sort of the middle

22:10

approach however the middle approach is

22:13

likely to cost money right this costs

22:16

tax money and obviously so would the

22:19

full bailout cost money so what is she

22:23

potentially considering a contagion fund

22:27

that is what's being talked about right

22:29

now A contagion fund so what is a

22:33

contagion fund a contagion fund is

22:36

basically a way of saying this look

22:38

here's Silicon Valley Bank let the FDIC

22:42

liquidate the bank and give people

22:45

whatever they can from the liquidations

22:47

of the bank if that's everybody with up

22:50

to 250 000 gets a hundred percent of

22:52

their money and everybody else above

22:54

that gets 70 then you know what maybe so

22:57

be it let Silicon Valley Bank fail now

23:01

you eliminate moral hazard you create

23:03

pain depositors take a haircut but

23:07

you risk contagion contagion means you

23:10

risk the potential that people go to

23:13

other Banks and start taking their money

23:15

out so what could a contagion fund do

23:18

well a contagion fund could say the

23:19

following

23:21

it could be the treasury Department

23:23

saying hey we are confident the

23:26

following ex-banks uh will have will

23:31

have their deposits backed 100 percent

23:34

and it could basically be a list of

23:38

maybe the top 300 Banks as a thesis

23:41

right because what the treasury

23:42

Department doesn't want to do is create

23:44

contagion to where everybody just goes

23:47

to the top four Banks even though that's

23:49

probably what you should do it is likely

23:52

that the treasury Department does not

23:54

want to create an oligopoly an oligopoly

23:57

is basically where you have like oil

23:59

companies or TV companies like Charter

24:03

or ATT or whatever controlling very few

24:06

options for you to actually receive

24:08

goods and services in this case banking

24:10

goods and services so if the treasury

24:12

Department creates a fund a contagion

24:14

fund and says hey these top 300 Banks

24:17

let's say accept svb are good just an

24:21

idea here and we are confident with an x

24:24

billion dollar amount of backstop that

24:26

you won't lose your deposits at these

24:28

Banks fantastic now you could limit

24:31

people fleeing those top 300 Banks and

24:35

basically the other ones that are not

24:37

listed could potentially go into some

24:39

form of temporary receivership now this

24:43

is not guaranteed this on the right here

24:44

is just an idea Janet Yellen has not

24:47

given us an idea uh or or has not given

24:51

us a a very clear guide in terms of what

24:53

the treasury is going to do she has just

24:56

said we want to limit contagion and we

24:58

will not bail out Silicon Valley Bank

25:00

this is what we know this idea about a

25:04

treasury contagion fund is what is being

25:07

talked about and it is my speculation

25:10

that they could come out and say hey

25:12

we're going to backstop and promise the

25:14

top X Banks it could be the top 300 it

25:17

could be the top 30. it could be the top

25:19

20. who knows the point is the the last

25:23

thing we want is people going into every

25:25

single bank and trying to rip their

25:27

money out you don't want people lining

25:28

up a JP Morgan trying to Joint their

25:30

money out because all of a sudden

25:31

they're afraid of banks right

25:33

that's what you don't want to happen but

25:35

it does look like a bailout for svb is

25:38

unlikely could there be a backstop of

25:40

deposits yes but that is likely to cost

25:43

taxpayer money rocana this morning on

25:46

Face the Nation said oh no no no no we

25:49

can backstop 100 of deposits without

25:53

spending a dime of taxpayer money he

25:56

said that because he doesn't seem to

25:58

understand financials now that's okay I

26:01

don't know if he's looked at the

26:02

financials maybe he's only been told

26:04

about these I actually happen to like

26:06

rocana I think he's a very reasonable

26:08

person

26:09

he's a California Democrat I know a lot

26:12

of people don't like California

26:12

Democrats but of the Congress men and

26:15

women now there are the crocanas one of

26:18

the the people with a good heart uh and

26:20

and actually some reasonable opinions I

26:23

just think he's wrong about what he say

26:25

the reason I think he's wrong about what

26:27

he's saying is because in my opinion

26:29

it's very simple okay I'm gonna make

26:31

this very simple for you here is the

26:34

financial statement for Silicon Valley

26:36

Bank as of December 31st 2022.

26:40

and let's look at exactly what they told

26:43

us we've done this before so I don't

26:45

want to sound redundant but I want to

26:46

make it extremely clear let's go over

26:48

here total liabilities what do we have

26:51

folks we have

26:52

195 498 okay sounds good what do we have

26:57

up here total assets 211 793 oh but wait

27:01

hold on a second we need to look at

27:04

these hell to maturity Securities which

27:05

might be liquidated we actually have to

27:08

Discount this number so 91321 minus

27:12

76169 that leaves us with a reduction of

27:16

assets of fifteen one five two now in

27:22

addition to reducing assets by 15

27:24

billion dollars 0.152 you also have to

27:29

add the following discounts these

27:31

financial statements are 72 days old

27:34

which means the losses are actually

27:36

probably substantially greater in

27:39

addition to that that you have to

27:41

consider the liquidation prices of the

27:44

rest of the assets which means for

27:46

example look at this see this item right

27:49

here that's called Goodwill sorry dude

27:51

Goodwill of 375 is going to be

27:54

subtracted as well what else is going to

27:57

get subtracted other intangibles things

28:00

we can't sell 136 is going to go away

28:02

what about this lease nobody gives a

28:05

crap about the lease you can liquidate a

28:07

lease let's get rid of that how about

28:10

all this equipment that they have well

28:11

you're going to get Pennies on the

28:13

dollar for that so let's say let's take

28:14

a 350 off on that we'll leave about 15

28:16

percent left on that well what about all

28:19

of the leftover loans and the other

28:20

losses that they're going to have just

28:22

by the time that went by you're probably

28:24

going to have I would guess another at

28:26

least at least a 10 reduction on your

28:29

maturities at least that so all of a

28:32

sudden when I take 211 793

28:35

uh and I subtract another 1.5 bill I

28:39

subtract uh 375 I subtract 136 I

28:42

subtract 335 I subtract 350 and this is

28:47

me being generous with another 10 over

28:50

here on on top of this one of this 15

28:52

bill this is generous that generously

28:55

puts you

28:56

uh at a position where uh now this 211

29:01

right here actually looks a lot more

29:04

like 15 152 there we go it actually

29:08

looks like

29:09

195

29:11

139 Which is less than the total debts

29:15

the company has so in other words as of

29:18

this old statement here the company is

29:20

upside down now do we think that the

29:23

company is only upside down by this

29:25

let's pray because if the company is

29:28

only upside down to this tune the

29:30

company could probably pay out somewhere

29:32

around 99 on all deposits over 250k this

29:38

would be a dream scenario what I've just

29:41

described is the dream scenario okay so

29:44

this idea that taxpayers won't have to

29:46

pay a dime is a dream and it ain't gonna

29:50

happen okay even even in the Stream

29:52

scenario there's still gonna be

29:53

sometimes getting paid but anyway

29:56

wait a second what we did is just set an

29:59

extra 10 losses on the 15 they already

30:01

have let's start over for just a quick

30:04

moment and show you how nasty this gets

30:05

you ready for this let's erase all this

30:07

stuff that we just drew right here and

30:09

let's go over here

30:11

and look at all their maturities that

30:13

they have well they have

30:16

76.1 billion dollars let's just look at

30:18

those 76.1 billion dollars of health and

30:20

maturity Securities Plus available for

30:22

sale 26 billion dollars they have 102

30:26

billion dollars of maturities if those

30:30

need to be written down another 20 to 30

30:34

percent in a fire sale let's go with 30

30:36

for Giggles that means you're actually

30:39

down another 70 or another 30 billion

30:42

dollars on top of what we showed over

30:44

here that means you're potentially

30:46

sitting at only 165 billion in assets

30:49

compared to about 195 in liabilities

30:52

that in that example represents about 15

30:56

cents on the dollar of deposit or money

30:59

evaporating so the point is

31:03

this bank is insolvent if the government

31:07

bails out Silicon Valley Bank they will

31:10

be paying money to bail this Bank out

31:13

the taxpayer will pay for any bailout of

31:17

Silicon Valley Bank and that is why I

31:20

think rocana is wrong with you say maybe

31:22

I'm looking at it wrong I don't think I

31:24

am so what's next what should you do

31:28

well the first thing you should do is if

31:29

you have exposure to Silicon Valley Bank

31:31

you should consider going to the

31:34

fdic.gov website just Google FDIC

31:37

calculator Google it and you'll see

31:39

where you can actually calculate what

31:42

your exposure is to the FDIC limits if

31:45

you have more than 250 000 in deposits

31:48

the next thing that in my opinion people

31:50

should do

31:51

is get out of the small Banks I hate to

31:54

say it and yes I am including Credit

31:57

Unions I am including fintech apps who

32:00

invest your money into small banks on

32:03

your behalf if you're fintech like a

32:06

chime an acorns an M1 Finance or

32:08

whatever is depositing money into

32:10

another small Regional Bank that is a

32:12

risk in my opinion even so fight to some

32:15

extent is a small Bank

32:19

that in mind it is a bank

32:21

it is a small Bank though so just keep

32:23

that in mind

32:24

personally and I'm not trying to create

32:26

fear I'm trying to prevent the loss of

32:28

money for individuals who watch and

32:30

support my channel that's my goal that's

32:32

why of course is on building your wealth

32:33

the goal is to help everybody build

32:35

their wealth and I would not risk having

32:39

any of my money at a bank that is not a

32:42

systemically important Bank what is the

32:45

cutoff for a systemically important Bank

32:47

in other words too big to fail well

32:49

thanks to Donald Trump we have that

32:51

answer

32:52

Donald Trump actually changed with

32:55

Congress the laws of systemically

32:58

important banks by requiring that Banks

33:00

be considered systemically important not

33:02

at 50 billion dollars like they used to

33:05

be instead

33:07

they listened to CEOs like those at

33:10

Silicon Valley Bank who lobbied for that

33:13

limit to be raised and now the limit for

33:16

a systemically important bank is 250

33:19

billion dollars in assets

33:21

in other words under the Trump admin the

33:24

bar first for a systemically important

33:26

Bank was raised to 250 mil Silicon

33:29

Valley Bank was at 208 and Silicon

33:32

Valley Bank lobbied to have that level

33:33

raised because they didn't want the

33:36

additional regulation so the people on

33:39

Twitter clamoring and screaming and

33:41

saying oh well The Regulators were

33:43

asleep at the wheel wrong Congress and

33:47

the presidential Administration

33:49

LED Regulators to be pulled away from

33:53

Banks like Silicon Valley Bank at the

33:55

request of banks like Silicon Valley

33:57

Bank and that CEO is the same person who

34:01

just dumped millions of dollars of

34:03

shares just weeks before this collapse

34:06

but don't worry their Chief uh managing

34:10

officer with their CMO either marketing

34:12

manager their CMO that worked at Silicon

34:15

Valley Bank happened to have a very

34:18

strong and robust history of also

34:20

working for Lehman Brothers back when

34:22

they collapsed you can't make this stuff

34:25

up

34:26

so to be crystal clear I would not have

34:29

a dime of my money in smaller Banks

34:32

certainly not if I had more than 250 000

34:35

some if you want to maintain a

34:38

relationship hey maybe you keep a few

34:39

thousand dollars and I know this is

34:42

offensive to a lot of smaller Banks and

34:44

I know a lot of people think hey that's

34:45

just going to create more more fear

34:47

uncertainty and doubt but here's the

34:49

reality

34:51

it costs you nothing to move your money

34:56

it could cost you a lot of money tens of

35:00

thousands to potentially millions of

35:01

dollars depending on how much you have

35:02

deposited on behalf of your business or

35:04

yourself by not acting the lazy thing to

35:07

do is not act the smart thing to do is

35:10

in my opinion consolidate where there is

35:12

the least risk where you know jpow is on

35:15

your side we always say don't fight the

35:18

fed and where is the Fed with the money

35:20

printer they're at the most systemically

35:23

important Banks JPM Bank of America

35:26

Wells City so on

35:31

that's my consideration

35:33

ultimately what you do is up to you but

35:35

I hope no matter what you think you
