The perpetually wrong Federal Reserve, MBS anxiety, and dumb regulations…this is the reality, this is our terrain.How does one guarantee $18 trillion? MBS 2008 vs. MBS 2023.

The Vampire Squid Strikes Again!Goldman Sachs completely dropped the ball in handling SVB’s capital raise…or did they??www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Having a really difficult time getting my head around how stupid these bankers, regulators and accountants can be. Understanding duration risk. Quite a bit of moral hazard around this bailout. Lies, half-truths, misdirection, crony capitalism and Silicon Valley Bank.
The narrative being pushed by Washington and the media is a complete lie. This is a bailout for Silicon Valley, Venture Capital firms, irresponsible start ups and most importantly…Democratic donors. How to catch a falling knife? The perils of trying to get in at the bottom and out at the top. There is still a ton of risk in the regional banking sector. My Amazon tale. The death of startups??The whining and moaning from the “startup ecosystem” is annoying, pathetic and sad. Credit Suisse and contagion. How we navigate financial storms and corrections. What the three little pigs can teach us about portfolio management.

Kudos to Emmanuel Macron!The French President showed some guts and raised the retirement age in France from 62-64. We choose to pretend that there is no problem in the United States.www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
