The Magnitude of Bank Failures in Just Five Days
Silvergate, Silicon Valley Bank and signatures went under in just five days. When three banks fail, investors go into panic mode, they sort of throw the baby out with the bathwater. The problem is that structurally all banks face the same issue to varying degrees from a decade of near zero interest rates.
On today’s episode, Clay sits down with Shawn O’Malley to provide an update on the banking crisis. For months, many have said that the Fed will continue hiking interest rates until “something breaks”. Shawn breaks down why it feels like the Fed broke something, and what it means for investors.
Shawn is the chief editor and writer of our daily financial markets and investing newsletter. He aims to bring a value investor’s perspective to understanding current events.
