Every time that they tell us that everything is fine, things just seem to get even worse. This banking crisis was supposed to be âoverâ after Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank collapsed. It wasnât. Then it was supposed to be âoverâ after First Republic collapsed. It wasnât. By now, most of you already know about what has been happening to PacWest, Western Alliance, First Horizon and countless other regional bank stocks. In all my years, I have never seen banking stocks fall so quickly. If this avalanche continues to pick up momentum, pretty soon we will have to stop talking about a âbanking industry crisisâ and start talking about a âbanking industry apocalypseâ.
The banking bummer Jamie Dimon said was over is far from over. More banks are going down and more banks are finding themselves in deep financial trouble. The banking collapse of 2023 is already far greater that the banking collapse that touched off the so-called âGreat Recessionâ in 2008. Did I say it was far from over? In a new Gallup poll, almost half of all Americans are âworriedâ about their deposits in the bank. Thatâs reassuring!!
