How BofA Came Back From The Brink Of Collapse

[@jacklyn-b1u]

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

[@randettawolf]

Consider buying stocks when the economy is not doing well, like during a recession. It could be a chance to buy them at a lower price and sell later when prices go up. Just keep in mind, this isn't financial advice, but sometimes it's better than keeping a lot of cash.

[@Carolj-p9j]

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

[@phill-s3s]

You seem to know the market better than we do, so that makes great sense. Who is the guide?

[@Carolj-p9j]

The impending banking crisis, fueled by reckless borrowing and risk-taking, necessitates a proactive investment approach. As the financial sector teeters on the brink of collapse, investors must prioritize diversification, astute asset allocation, and judicious risk management. By doing so, they can minimize exposure to the crisis and capitalize on emerging opportunities, ultimately ensuring the resilience and growth of their portfolios in the face of uncertainty.

[@MarshalWagner457]

Mitigate the risks of the looming banking crisis by diversifying your portfolio with strategic stock investments. Even in the midst of recessions, astute investors can identify compelling buying opportunities, exercising prudence and informed decision-making. Market volatility can also give rise to profitable short-term trading prospects. Nevertheless, with cash yields presently low, now is an auspicious time to invest and potentially benefit from market dynamics, while minimizing exposure to the banking crisis.

[@TicheDebb0]

With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.

[@EvelynBrooks0]

Very true, people downplay advisors role, until burnt by their mistakes. I remember just after my layoff early 2020 amidst covid outbreak, I needed to stay afloat, hence researched for license advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge, and decades of experience, my stagnant reserve of $325K has yielded nearly $1m after subsequent investments so far.

[@EvelynBrooks0]

I’ve been down a ton, I’m only holding on so I can recoup, I really need help, who is this investment-adviser that guides you?

[@TicheDebb0]

The advisor I use is Rebecca Noblett Roberts she's verifiable , so you could just search her.

Bank of America is trash. I paid off my car loan and still showed up on my credit. It dropped my credit score 200 points because they put the car loan under default. I made so many calls and no one would remove it from my credit. I had to get an attorney and after a day it was taken out. I hate bank of america.

[@GreenAppelPie]

How did they come back? Off the back of American taxpayers bailing them out

[@blipblop92]

I believe they had to sell themselves away for the bailout, basically BoA traded their shares for bailout cash which they had to buy back. So the Feds actually made money as BoA share price goes up.

[@BTrain-is8ch]

@@julm7744 They didn't make the wrong gamble. The federal government did. The federal government is the entity that decided mortgage origination standards needed to be relaxed because they were excluding people... needless to say we found out that the standards were excluding people for good reason and should have been left as they were. The feds put their finger on the scale and we got 2008. The same way they put their finger on the higher education scale and we've got another bailout in the works. When are people going to learn that the federal government ensuring accessibility leads to problems because everything isn't for everyone?

[@BTrain-is8ch]

@@julm7744 I bet you blame colleges for the price of post-secondary education too huh? Never mind that they're just rational actors responding to an incentive put in place by the federal government because voters decided, foolishly, that post-secondary education needed to be accessible to anyone too. Now we've got another "crisis" on our hands because no crisis is enough for some people to understand that the federal government meddling in markets to make things accessible will probably always end in disaster. Ultimately blame for 2008 is on voters and their elected officials for not shutting down the voters' childish, naive demand. Want to hold someone accountable? Don't vote for people who sell silly "blah blah blah for everyone" rhetoric. Nothing works for everyone and the federal government has no real power to make that happen.

[@BTrain-is8ch]

@@julm7744 It's a political issue because a federal policy sent us careening down the hill into disaster. If you want to hold the appropriate people accountable as you say you have to do root cause analysis. You don't get to stop wherever you feel good about your supposed culprit. Now does it matter which laundry you vote for? No because in this case it was a bipartisan screwup.

[@BTrain-is8ch]

@@julm7744 Root. Cause. Analysis. Why did the fed go on a money printing spree in 2020-2021? Oh that's right. Because the federal government, at the behest of voters, went on a welfare spending spree. You keep wanting to make this a red vs blue thing when 2008 was bipartisan as was your newest example. The electorate is the issue followed by politicians that kowtow to that electorate, deal with inevitable consequences later, and spin their screwups to be the fault of other entities like the fed, or banks, or colleges, etc. Charlie Munger said "Show me the incentives and I'll tell you the outcomes." Who really controls the incentives? The federal government. Although you might not have had the opportunity to vote for Powell the American electorate did vote for the blue and red people who nominated and confirmed him for both of his terms as fed chair.

[@m3technologies236]

Moral of the story: Invest to become big enough so that the government has a reason to bail you out, in case of failure. They're not gonna let a giant take down a huge chunk of the financial industry. The impact would be too important on the American economy.

I generally agree with your sentiment but BoA did pay its loan back. In a capitalist economy, a company should fail if it doesn’t manage its finances correctly. We hate helping the poor directly but for some reason we had no issues with a socialist loan to a company in a free market economy. Make it make sense.

[@chrisyanover1777]

I have worked for B of A for 16 years in the mortgage sector and it was scary working there during the mortgage crisis. I was severely worried about losing my job during that time. It wasn't nessesarily B of A's fault but the acquisition of Countrywide and Merrill Lynch and their mortgage portfolio that brought so much trouble to the bank. But they have been extremely smart since then with their lending practices and they do take care of their employees! They have portfoliod most there lending but where extremely conservative in their underwriting practices. This has allowed them to make huge profits off their mortgage portfolio but also doesn't put them at risk.

It will be interesting to see how a higher interest rate world does to US banking. Since the 08 crash, the banks could access near free cash (from near zero consumer deposits before fees) and QE free cash to boost share prices and share buybacks to do the same. Now consumers might ask why their savings are not earning more especially as inflation eats into any bank interest returns. QE will end and that MASSIVE amount of central bank lending will have to reverse. This will dampen share prices and end the free government money tree. Then there is the ever larger world appetite for gov debt (and gov spending plans are not falling). Its surprising that so many megabanks are still so reliant on their home market and so few have spent it on foreign M+A even in adjacent countries. Share buybacks are a sign of no idea what to do with the profits and c-suite ways of boosting bonuses based on share performance. Lending credit to these banks is probably not profitable at all. Why no acquisition of even smaller banks in other nearby countries (canada/Mexico must be somewhat profitable) that would not attract anti-trust blowbacks. Remaining a big player in the home market means assuming your home economy grows - one egg in one basket (and that assumes no stronger competition). Branch costs are falling as users do it all online (more profit) and there is still options for selling other fin services and buying any fintech (post market "crash") leaders.
