Just 5 minutes into this interview, I felt compelled to comment on how fantastic it is. Seeing Bill Ackman in a relaxed setting, candidly discussing his journey, is truly enlightening. I've been following his career for years and it's been remarkable to see his evolution.

[@veronica.baker1]

The impact of the SVB and SI crises has been clear as day on the regional bank ETF (KRE), which has taken a nosedive by more than 20%. This has triggered a ripple effect, causing a drop in the overall market. But, as history has shown us, a localized and narrow contagion like this presents a ripe opportunity to invest in solid and fiscally responsible companies that have substantial cash reserves on hand.

[@james.atkins88]

The Collapse of Silicon Valley Bank has torn into global markets, with investors ripping up their forecasts for further rises in interest rates and dumping bank stocks around the world. I'm at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping 200k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?

[@edward.abraham]

@@james.atkins88 Given that we are not accustomed to such uncertain markets, the fact that the US stock market has been on its longest bull run ever makes the widespread anxiety and excitement comprehensible. There are opportunities if you know where to go, as you noted that it wasn't difficult for me to earn more than $780k in the previous 10 months. Since I was aware that I would need a reliable and strong plan to get through these tough times, I engaged a portfolio advisor.

This year has proven challenging, marked by losses from failed banks, real estate downturns, a struggling economy, and setbacks in stocks and dividends. It seems like everything has been going wrong, making it a particularly tough period.

[@Gabrielle..]

Government policies have, for decades, jeopardized the future. The impending repercussions suggest an anticipated 80% decline in the stock market. Investors are expected to shift focus towards real estate, as traditional banking may face financial instability. It's crucial to formulate a survival strategy in light of these potential changes.

[@Dave_Wills]

Having a sound financial plan is essential. Collaborating with a professional planner and fixed income strategist, would ensures you that the fixed-income segment of your portfolio not only acts as a buffer against equity volatility but also generates substantial income.

[@alfred5123]

Indeed, I concur! Working alongside John Desmond Heppolette has been instrumental in connecting me with a robust financial community. Through this verified organization, I've gained valuable insights into the mechanics of investing and making informed investment decisions. The added benefits of free books, courses, and daily lectures have significantly enriched my knowledge. Plus, the opportunity to meet new people has proven to be the most rewarding decision I've made.

[@rafaelrosa6579]

this was a great session. Loved the questions. Bill should do more long-form content like this. Insightful.

[@Emmacurtis]

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was the 16th largest bank in the US, and it wasn't subject to the most strict controls. How many banks actually are subject to those controls, besides the big four? Any bank could suffer a run and fail, and if that happens to a community level or even state level bank it probably won't upset the national economy or ecosystem of banks, but any multi-state bank should be more closely watched.

[@jacobelord]

Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival

At 24:40 he states , “I’m a big believer of free speech”….except if it involves speaking out for human rights, equality or ending apartheid in Israeli Palestine.

But just bc there’s low unemployment doesn’t mean people are actively hiring, most businesses are looking out for their bottom line and they don’t want to expand right now past what works. So opening immigration might not be the right solution. 40:29

[@natemora]

Not the right solution for the common man but the right solution for well hedged or benefitting individuals. More employees equals more money for the top companies. They can care less about the folks waiting in the lunch line. If the restaurant is busy, who cares about if people can afford it.

[@donwhizz7880]

The negative impact of SVB and SI debacles has been reflected in the regional bank ETF (KRE) which has witnessed a decline of over 20%. This event has triggered contagion effects, dragging the entire market lower. However, historically speaking, a localized and narrow contagion of this nature presents an opportune time to invest in strong, financially stable companies with substantial cash reserves on their balance sheets.

[@blessingoffong7620]

Indeed, the recent market downturn serves as evidence that a vast majority of individuals lacked a sufficient understanding of the underlying financial dynamics at play.

[@stevenjuan259]

I agree, which is why I prefer having an investment coach make my day-to-day investment decisions. Given that their entire skill set revolves around using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the unique information and analysis they have, it's practically impossible to underperform. I've been using an investment coach for more than two years and have made over 2.8 million.

I am extremely concerned about the ongoing banking crisis, especially since even a large institution like SVB is at risk of failing. I am worried about the potential impact on other banks as well. A friend of mine who runs a high-growth startup was severely affected by the bank run. Consequently, I withdrew over $340k from my bank, knowing that the FDIC only covers up to $250,000, and the repercussions of a collapse could be severe. As a result, I am now considering investing in the stock market. Can anyone advise me on how to proceed?

Bad start to the year with these banks collapsing, META down 40k, ALLP down 35k, Draft Kings down 6k, NIO down 15K, ABML down 8k, and my wife doesn’t know.

Working with a reputable investing coach is now the greatest market approach.
