Silicon Valley Bank’s Collapse w/ Mark Cuban and Sheila Bair

Silicon Valley Bank’s Collapse w/ Mark Cuban and Sheila Bair | The Problem with Jon Stewart Podcast

День тому

Could the SVB collapse have been avoided? On this week’s podcast, we chat about how Silicon Valley Bank’s risky investments lead to its eventual failure. We are joined by former Chair of the FDIC, Sheila Bair, and entrepreneurial multi-hyphenate, Mark Cuban, who discuss where the regulation was for these banks, why we don’t bail out our citizens like we do our businesses, and what’s next for banks with similar investment strategies to SVB.

The ongoing situation with banks is causing me significant apprehension. The potential failure of a sizable institution like SVB is alarming, and it raises broader concerns for me. A friend of mine, who oversees a rapidly expanding startup, experienced severe repercussions due to the recent bank run. Personally, I withdrew over $840k from my bank account, bearing in mind that the FDIC's coverage is limited to $250K. The prospect of a collapse has worrisome implications. Given the circumstances, I'm contemplating investing in the stock market. I'm seeking input and suggestions on how I should approach this situation. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

@AntonioBianh 8 місяців тому

We fail to realize that banks are commercial enterprises that are driven by greed as well. The over-leveraging of assets by banks starting in 2020 was one of the factors that led to SVB's collapse. I've never felt secure keeping a large sum of money in a bank. In other words, I invest through my financial advisor, reap the benefits, and then spend the money.

By what mechanism would the feds have "bailed out" the defaulting mortgages themselves? "Oh, sorry to hear you can't pay your mortgage and can't refinance anymore because the housing market crashed, let us just go ahead and pay it off for you"? Backstopping depositors to prevent a liquidity crisis does not seem analogous to any decision that was or wasn't made in the mortgage crisis.

Sorry, but SVB bankers should be indicted for their financial nonsense. If all the accounts are "protected" then it tells banks that they can do anything they want to do and get away with it so the lack of regulations is the main cause of this nonsense. Cuban is wrong as he wants so badly to pretend it's a "one in a billion" incident but, in fact, it's an example of the lack of regulation of banks.

@DanA-nl5uo Рік тому

Correct and it has been pointed out that the large depositors would have gotten 90% of their deposits back if the bank has been allowed to go through the normal process of selling off the assets to pay back the depositors. This is just the wealthy holding the government hostage for insurance they didn't buy in the first place. It is equivalent to buying $25,000 of homeowners insurance then demanding that the insurance policy pay 100% of your losses when the house burns down. No private sector insurance policy would ever pay more than the policy was written for. The FDIC should not be held hostage by the wealthy for more coverage than they paid for.

@@Haan22 Here is the thing it was more regulated before this guess which president came in and F things up starts with a D. After the 2008 crisis and the crisis with Washington mutual bank, a bill was pass called the Dodd frank act which is to have enough capital to cover depositors called FDIC 250K and the most important which SVB did not do is to be able to pass a STRESS test.

@kassistwisted Рік тому

As a former banker, I find it really odd that these bankers were ignoring the interest rates, ignoring the markets, etc. Usually when a bank screws up this badly, it's because the management did something risky in order to make tons of cash for themselves. But in this case, management was making investments that didn't even keep up with normal inflation. It's almost like they wanted the bank to fail and use it as a tax writeoff. What they did wasn't risky. It was just plain lazy.

Thanks - I also heard someone say that companies can have "cash sweep" accounts. In that once the cash deposit limit exceeds the FDIC insured limit amount, then the excess cash gets auto invested into Money Market or a non-cash account (short term treasuries, etc). Not sure of all the specifics but the person was basically saying a responsible corporate treasurer should take efforts minimize the risk of a bank run, even if the probability of occurring is perceived to be very low and by utilizing a cash sweep account, you can keep your cash exposure at the bank only to the insured amount.

@mavor101 Рік тому

It was because of SVB's clientele. A very small # of depositors (comparatively with "mainstream" banks) that are mostly hyper-connected and very *VERY* fast with moving/protecting their money (startups/etc..). Once a few core movers started to pull out, and especially publicly tell depositors to pull out on Twitter, it was all over in 2 days. Ramp-up was only about ~3 weeks long and the spike/death spiral was 2 days. Management at banks are rigidly locked into following what everyone else in the market are doing. Imagine if they held a reserve ratio of like 60% instead of the 0.10% or whatever ludicrously low % is legally allowed... they would have survive this run, but they wouldn't have been able to make any money. It's like... either you leverage the fuck up with a tiny ultra-risky reserve ratio and make money, or you don't and your bank makes less profit and you get fired by your board/ceo/etc..

As Cuban was whinging about, at least the shareholders got taken to the cleaners. A lot of the deposits were *from* Venture Capitalists (ick), but their destination was payroll and R&D - which is generally good for workers (tech workers at least). Considering a whole lot of tech startups got funded in the last few months (with all the Twitter and Facebook layoffs, there's been plenty of spare manpower running around) - that's a whole bunch of small to medium-sized businesses (and their employees) that would have been wiped out if they weren't made whole. I'm all for punishing the Board of Directors and Shareholders who, for example, didn't assign a risk protection officer for 8 months before this - which is banking malpractice to the highest degree. But covering the accounts (whose money wasn't wiped out but just placed in stupidly long-maturity bonds and are thus unavailable right now - which is like trying to protect your car from scratches by putting it on the moon) is a public good.

That's the point... Jon keeps conflating the depositors and the bank, saying they made "bad investment strategies" and got "bailed out", but that isn't what happened, and no taxpayer money was used. The people who made the "bad investment" decisions, ie, the bank, and people who owned the bank, did not get a bailout. The FDIC took over the bank, and made available deposit money, which will be funded by the banks reserves, which not all was immediately available to the bank (long term treasuries, for example, would keep their full value as long as they weren't sold early) and any deposit money that couldn't be covered is being covered by a one off addition to the "insurance premium" paid by the other banks to the FDIC for the insurance of their deposits.

Anyone saying the FDIC needs to pay 100% of deposits doesn't understand how insurance policies work. The depositors bought $250,000 worth of insurance. They paid the FDIC for that level of coverage. This is equivalent to buying 25,000 dollars of home owners insurance but when the home burns demanding the insurance policy pay full retail value for the home. Insurance doesn't work that way if you want 100% protection you have to pay for it before you file the claim.

Comments like this continue to show Americans have little understanding of how banking works. This isn't a home fire. The money didn't get burned down. The money exists, it's just locked up.

Everyone will get their money back because the company has assets worth its deposits. The government is just making it so that people will get their assets, just not all at once.

Yep. The question of whether it's okay to have true billionaires (which is different to "on-paper billionaires", who simply own shares in a business with a notional value in the billions based on future expectations, and NOT current value that can actually be traded... for example, Elizabeth Holmes was an on-paper billionaire, despite not even having a working product, based on a future expectation that was not real, ergo, not a "real" or "true" billionaire) seems to be the wrong question... truth is, we cannot afford all these billionaires, they are destabilising absolutely everything. It's not an economic crash we're heading into, it's a civilisation collapse. The proxy war against Russia is crashing our food systems that were reliant on the fertiliser, and their answer is to do the same with Taiwan as with Ukraine to start a war with China, while making inflation worse by adding higher interest rates to all of the debt in the system, right after a pandemic where we saw global panic buying within a "just in time" system that we spent decades building to allow shareholders to extract the value from stored inventory.

He can say what is going on at the billionaire class while most of media nowadays is just giving conjecture and/or spin. He is a proven capitalist which is good because we need people like this who can bridge our divided national conversation. Listening is not a problem. Worshipping is the problem. The cults of personality are the problem. There is no human savior coming to save this country. We must save ourselves, and it must be done democratically.

Being in the Boston Biotech world it was particularly interesting. A lot of the VC money that companies raised was put into SVB. So much so that there were people on Friday who didn't get paid and weren't sure WHEN they would get paid or if they would end up furloughed. Then came questions on whether this could lead to a collapse of a number of start up biotechs would would have essentially lost all the access to their money. Boston's economy in no small part REVOLVES around pharma/biotech/start ups (for better or worse). The thought that the bubble could burst and the cascading effect it could have (rent, mortgages, commercial real estate, law firms, all that makes up a city etc) definitely gave me pause.

Very Educational. Great work Jon... and both guests were great too. Again, we can see that people can disagree without getting angry. I can't say I agree with any form of bank bailout since we saw what they did with it the last time. They don't pass the bailout option to mortgages and other loans, not that that would necessarily have been a good thing either. I am no banking expert, so I am sure it is far more complicated than what I can understand. But we see constantly how government regulations seem to only benefit those in the government circles... and doesn't seem to matter much which party is in control.

I’m always impressed when hosts of Tv shows or podcasts who speak the truth. And Jon Stewart never disappoints. It is definitely the truth that the VC big wigs in Silicon Valley pulled the rugs underneath SVB. They collectively as a community and selfishly as individuals spread the fear and caused the runs. For SVB with assets of over $200B, the loss from sale of the low interest M-B-S and long term T-Bonds of $2B shouldn’t have pushed them into bankruptcy. While it was bad that the interest rate risk wasn’t managed, the underlying asset of those securities were sound and different than the sub-prime mortgage that really represented poor quality of assets.
