1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Who's really protecting your money?

2
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 2: Right?

3
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: The FDIC? What is that even really pot Like what

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: is that? And then it's like the limit is to

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: fifty there's been talks that they could potentially raise the

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: limit higher. What about the limits for investing that's through SIPC.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: Is that the same will that be raised? Just can

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: you just kind of make sense of the protection aspect

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: of it from an investing in banking side.

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're getting this question every single day on Investipedia,

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 3: as you can imagine, because people are really worried about

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: their money. Yeah, they're worried about their money in the market,

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: but they're worried about their money money right, their bags

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 3: of cash in the bank that's supposed to be safe.

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: So most banks are ensured.

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: By what we call the FDIC Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

17
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: This was formed after the Great Depression, after the big

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: bank runs of the nineteen thirties to protect investors or savers,

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: i should say, customers. And they've raised the limit over

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: time because we've had more money to put in the bank.

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: And that limit is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: and that is per individual. If you're married and have

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: a joint account five hundred thousand dollars. That is your

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: money in the bank that is insured. If your bank

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: goes out of business, you're going to get that money

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: back within a few days once the FDIC takes over

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: that bank. Right now, with Silicon Valley Bank and with

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: Signature Bank, the two banks that failed, the FDIC, the

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: Treasury and the Federal Reserve decided to take extraordinary measures

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: and consider them systemically important banks, and they raised the

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: deposit insurance to make it unlimited for all depositors. So

32
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: if you had money in those banks those banks were

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: taken over, you're getting all of your money back one

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: way or the other.

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: Have they made that blanket raise for all banks? Absolutely not.

36
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: Can they not? Exactly?

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: And I'll explain why in a second. But that's the FDIC,

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: that is its own branch of the government. It has

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: funds and insurance fund that it pays out people whose

40
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: bank goes under that banks can been contributing to for years.

41
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: I think there's over one hundred billion dollars in that

42
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: account right now, but they can always take in more.

43
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: So that's on the banking side. On the investing side,

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: if you have a brokerage account, pick your broker, I

45
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: don't care which. And your broker gets taken over or

46
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: goes under or gets seized by a regulator, it's the

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: SIPC that guarantees your money two hundred and fifty thousand

48
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: dollars per individual, five hundred thousand dollars per couple. That

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: doesn't mean they're protect you against making bad investments. That

50
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: doesn't mean they protect you against taking bad advice. That

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 3: doesn't mean they protect you against buying products that go under.

52
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: That means they protect you if your broker goes under.

53
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: So it's very important that you understand the distinction between

54
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: those two agencies and what they protect.

55
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 4: So we saw the collapse of some banks, right, we

56
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: saw a signature SVB. A lot of us remember two

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 4: thousand and eight, and I'll get worried. Right, So, can

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 4: you explain the difference between what happened in two thousand

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: and eight and what we're seeing now with some of

60
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: the regional banks. I know they had a rebound today,

61
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: and we'll get into that a little bit later, But

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 4: the difference between the two scenarios in two thousand and

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: eight and now in twenty twenty three, what what's happening.

64
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight,

65
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: banks were over leveraged. They had bought too many mortgage

66
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 3: backed securities. They assumed, like a lot of people did,

67
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: that the housing market in the United States was just

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: going to keep rolling and keep going higher and higher,

69
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: and they gave credit out a lot of lenders to

70
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 3: people that weren't worthy of getting that credit. So when

71
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: the economy hit the skids and we started to go

72
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: into a recession, people were getting foreclosed on their homes.

73
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 3: They realized that all these people they had loaned money

74
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: to were not.

75
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: Really of good credit.

76
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: But banks had loaded up on this credit, on these

77
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: mortgage backed securities, and they started to fail as people

78
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: were not able to pay their mortgages. And that was

79
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: a liquidity crisis where banks all of a sudden didn't

80
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: have money to pay back their depositors, they didn't have

81
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: money to pay lenders, they didn't have money coming in,

82
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: and they weren't lending money to each other. And some

83
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: of the biggest banks out there. You were talking about

84
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: mistakes you made. I and I'm the guy who invested

85
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: in Lehman Brothers at eighty, at fifty, at thirty, at

86
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: twenty at ten and finally at two, I lost a

87
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: lot of money and.

88
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: That can we give a comparison? At the time, Lemo

89
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: was like, go earners, what's up? You ever walk into

90
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: a small business and everything just works like the checkout

109
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 4: by P and C Bank. A lot of people think

110
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 4: podcasts about work are boring, and sure they definitely can be,

111
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 4: but understanding of professionals routine shows us how they achieve

112
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: their success little by little, day after day. It's like

113
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 4: banking with P and C Bank. It might seem boring

114
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 4: to save, plan and make calculated decisions with your bank,

115
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: but keeping your money boring is what helps you live

116
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 4: or more happily fulfilled life. P and C Bank Brilliantly

117
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: Boring since eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty

Speaker 4: five is a service mark of the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc.

119
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: P and C Bank National Association Member FDIC.

120
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 3: Foo or like Lemen, was up one hundred and ten

121
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: year old bank that was way over leveraged, and the

122
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: Federal Reserve decided to just let it go. Now there's

123
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: another bank called bear Stearns that was equally as leverage.

124
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: These were multi trillion dollar banks. Now they engineered a

125
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: sale of bear Stearns to another bank, and that bank.

126
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: Was was that JP Morten? Was it? Yeah?

127
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 3: I think it was the JP Morgan for two bucks

128
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: a share, so they saved that bank. So these were

129
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: the biggest banks in the world that were going under

130
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: and having what we call a liquidity crisis. They could

131
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: not borrow money and they were not lending money.

132
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: To each other.

133
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: So the Federal Reserve, the treasure in the FDIIC saw

134
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: what was happening with Silicon Valley Bank, and whether they

135
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: should have seen that months ago we could talk about.

136
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 3: But they saw the fact that they were not able

137
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: to pay back their depositors and that they deemed them,

138
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: even though they were only the sixteenth biggest bank in

139
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: the country systemically important. If they couldn't pay anybody back

140
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: and other banks.

141
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: Wouldn't lend to them, banks wouldn't loan to.

142
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: Each other, and we would get into a liquidity crisis

143
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: like we saw in two thousand and eight. Now, the

144
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: biggest difference is that after two thousand and eight two

145
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: thousand and nine, there was there are a lot of tough

146
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: regulations put in place, the big ones, the Dodd Frank

147
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 3: Regulation Act that made banks have to hold a certain

148
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: amount of capital reserves in case their creditors or their

149
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 3: depositors came for their money, and that for the biggest banks,

150
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: the twenty biggest banks has to be a certain percentage

151
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: of all deposits and assets on hand.

152
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: So they're in much stronger shape than they used to be.

153
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: Even though the Trump administration.

154
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: Rolled back some of those laws, most of them are

155
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: still in place. So the reserves these banks hold are

156
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: huge right now. And there's about seventeen and a half

157
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: trillion dollars in US banks right now. The run we

158
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: had out at Silicon Valley Bank and the little one

159
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: we had at Signature Bank was not that big in comparison,

160
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: there was only one hundred and eighty billion dollars in deposits.

161
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: We're talking about a banking system that's almost eighteen trillion dollars.

162
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 5: Asks a good question about what are the differences that

163
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 5: you saw between twenty eight and twenty twenty three. What

164
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 5: similar is do you see like in the mismanagement of

165
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 5: risk profiles from mortgage backed securities in two thousand and

166
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 5: eight and like the venture capital debt bubble, and what

167
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 5: parallels do you see like we're making the same mistakes.

168
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: Great question.

169
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: So we always say the Federal Reserve raises interest rate

170
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: until something breaks, Well, something broke. That was the balance

171
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: sheets of a lot of banks, a lot of regional banks.

172
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: Why what do regional banks do with your money? What

173
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: are banks in general do with our money? They loan

174
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: it out to one another, But they keep a lot

175
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: of those deposits in government backed securities US treasuries and

176
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: mortgage backed securities. Why those are supposedly the safest investments

177
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: on planet Earth, maybe in the whole solar system, because.

178
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,119
Speaker 2: The US government, even though it has an enormous debt.

179
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: Usually pays off its debt little by little, so they're safe.

180
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: But when the Federal Reserve raise interest rates like it

181
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: did for the past thirteen months aggressively north of five

182
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: percent here, then something breaks, and that is usually the

183
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: value of those bonds. As those interest rates went up,

184
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 3: yields went up, bond prices plummeted, so the value of

185
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: the assets and those banks that were held against deposits

186
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: when they mark to market them.

187
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: And that means if they say, if.

188
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: We had to sell those today, what those be worth?

189
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: They were not worth enough to cover the depositors. So

190
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 3: now the big one of the big differences is banks

191
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: have to have enough reserves to be able to even

192
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: if they have marked to market losses to cover their depositors.

193
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: That's one big thing.

194
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: But those rising interest rates, they cause a lot of

195
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: bank failures. That happened way back in the seventies with

196
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: Continental Bank. The Fed Reserve raised interest rates aggressively in

197
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 3: the eighties under Paul Volker, the tallest FED chairman out there,

198
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: to break inflation which was twelve percent. And guess what,

199
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: Orange County, California. The whole county failed. The whole county

200
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: went bankrupt. One of the richest counties in the world

201
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: went bankrupt. So your raise rates again really aggressively. In

202
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: the past year. We've lost two banks so far, we

203
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: may lose another.

204
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: My graduates from my school being forced bad drops drop drop.

205
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: Bad drop Drop.

206
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 6: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

207
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 6: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

208
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 6: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

209
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 6: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

210
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 6: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

211
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 6: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

212
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 6: Secretary of Homeland Security under President Trump, Attempted illegal border

213
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 6: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

214
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 6: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

215
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 6: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

216
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 6: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

217
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 6: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

218
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 6: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

219
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 6: Do what's right, leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

220
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 6: border and families will be protected.
