The recent events with SVB make it unlikely for the market to make significant gains soon, so it's wise to manage expectations and prepare for a potentially long recovery period. It's recommended to avoid making significant investment decisions until the economic environment stabilizes in areas of concern. It's best to exercise caution and avoid engaging with the current turbulence.

While the information in this video is pretty much old news, this lady made a very eloquent presentation.

0:44 the proportion is misleading. JPMorgan is only 17-18 times larger than SVB, but they draw two circles that differ in size by 400 times. this doesn't fit Bloomberg's reputation.

They should absolutely let SVB fail no bailout whatsoever.

The stock market has been a really tough one this past year, but I watched an interview on CNBC where the anchor kept mentioning "KATRINA VANRENSUM ". This prompted me to get in touch with her, and from August 2022 till now we have been working together, and I can now boast of $540, 000 in my trading portfolio.

Capitalists telling everyone how capitalism is not a scam somehow...

[wegder]

I like venture capitalists almost as much as I like hedge funds.

I'm shocked that Biden had the guts to pin this on Trump's administration.

This is why cryptocurrency is the future.

Silicon Valley Bank used to lend out money in short durations. However, in 2021, they shifted to long-term securities such as treasuries for more yield, and they did not protect their liabilities with short-term investments for quick liquidations. They were insolvent for months because they could not liquidate their assets without a large loss.
Despite the crypto pull back I think digital currency is best, I’d suggest you give a trial to bonaveststockfx and see for yourself.
