Banking Crisis: Who's to blame and what to do? I David Woo

A banking crisis has broken out in the US, after Washington spent a decade strengthening banking regulations. Who's to blame? The banks themselves, the Federal Reserve, the short-sellers, banking supervision or the FDIC? What does the fall of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank say about US banks in general? Could the banks in aggregate have hedged their interest rate risk? Should we be concerned about the unrealized losses of the bank's holdings of US government bonds? What does the improving net interest margin of the banking system say about the health of the banks? What should the US government do to stop bank runs right now and to avoid full blown financial contagion? What should be done to save the regional banks like the First Republic Bank, Zions Bank and Pacific Western Bank? Is a recession now inevitable? Will the banking crisis force the Federal Reserve to give up its fight against inflation? What about UBS and its takeover of Credit Suisse? What does the banking crisis mean for the stock market? How should you be investing your money right now? David Woo, a former top-ranked Wall Street global macro strategist tells it as it is. You may not agree with everything he says but he will make you reassess everything you thought you knew.
