Warren Buffett Explains the 2008 Financial Crisis

A decade after the financial crisis, billionaire investor Warren Buffett explains what was behind the 2008 mayhem, what we can do to limit the damage and opportunities missed last time.

[@williamyejun8508]

Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid crisis, and even pull it off easily in a favourable economy. Unequivocally, the bubble/collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich.

[@johnlennon232]

I do not disagree, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such execution are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience since the 08' crash.

[@checkforme234]

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

[@larrypaul-cw9nk]

It’s always a good option to keep some gold. Well with the current market situation and everything at stake with the present economy, I’d say you’re better off staying away from stocks fr awhile or better still reach out to an adviser for guidance.

[@Mrshuster]

I think it's brilliant to use a brokerage advisor for investing. Prior to speaking with an advisor in the heat of the 2008 financial crisis, I was actually experiencing terrifying nightmares. In summary, with the assistance of my advisor, I have grown my initial $120k investment to over $550k.

Gaining more financial independence is probably the result of knowing how to handle personal finances and invest.

[@Peterl4290]

Although stocks are currently rather volatile, you should be okay if you perform the proper calculations. There have been stories of people making over $250,000 in a matter of weeks or months, according to Bloomberg and other finance media, so if you know where to look, I believe there are many wealth transfers during this recession.

[@thetooginator153]

I agree with Michael Burry. In 2005, the New York Times had an article about how millions of subprime mortgages were currently charging a “teaser” interest rate. Virtually all of those mortgages were going to raise their rates much higher as the teaser rate period expired. I told my friend he should sell his house ASAP because in two years (2007), millions of people will be panic-selling their homes. I knew my friend couldn’t afford a higher mortgage payment, so, he would be one of those people (and he was). It doesn’t take a genius to know that if something suddenly becomes a LOT more expensive, fewer people can afford it. Also, banks had ZERO incentive to warn customers about how not only the customer’s mortgage rate will go up, so will tens of millions of other mortgage rates will also - and at the same time. As for the customers being at fault for buying a mortgage they couldn’t afford, that is bunk. The customers could and did afford their mortgages - until their interest rate went way up. The United States has a reliably good economy because customers can USUALLY buy products and services without having to become experts in those products and services. This allows customers to focus on the work THEY do for a living. We want car mechanics to be knowledgeable about cars - not the adjustable mortgage rates of millions of home owners. The loan officers should be knowledgeable about that stuff AND protect their bank’s investments - without depending on a taxpayer-funded bailout they KNOW they will need in two or three years.

[@jamespeterson8482]

@@thetooginator153 I agree with everything expect the last part. The people who took the home loans from the banks were just as guilty. They wanted all the benefits of the mortgage without any of the risks. When the risks materialized, they cried "ohh what about me?" No one made you take the loan.

2008 was due to two things: lessening of financial government oversight; and the subprime crisis. People who should never had bought homes were magically okayed. This was not unique and this battle goes on. We will always have instances where the govt. was too laissez-faire, or far too restrictive. As for subprime, virtually every category of products, from beds to cars, has always gone after the subprime buyer; in fact, most of their profits have often come from there, due to credit rates and payments.

As I understand it, the sup-prime mortgage crisis was set up on purpose. To apply for a housing loan, your credit score was not a variable in the equation. It was not relevant. Those individuals who brokered these purchases received a commission. Incentive was there, to forward the process at every level, as high commissions were paid out. Greed was the inner voice overriding common morality and business ethics . . . if that even exists. Once the " housing bubble " imploded, all these foreclosures and accumulated debt, were rolled up into packages, where the value of each individual debt, was combined into a total debt. This total debt, which was essentially many account numbers, representing real people, combined into large debt " Assets" became currency to be traded. The final destination of this debt was to be sold off, as an asset, to non-U.S. international markets. The end result was the " World Economy " also taking a big hit. Each individual, that facilitated the movement of these debt bundles, gained a high commission. This combined debt, based on debt owed in the U.S. housing market, came to be known as " Toxic Assets. " The whole situation was set up to profit the individuals that made commissions, the companies theses individuals worked for, banks, governments, any human control mechanism in place currently, etc. It was a reset button, purposely put into play, to control all of you. Any positive or negative feed back is welcome. Feel free . . . to disagree. . . .by the way, I feel the student loan crisis currently in the U.S. is another example of a financial human control mechanism. So was the great depression and the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. . . .The world is a stage and we are all just actors playing a role. . . . apparently the role of many of us is serf. . .that needs to change.

The main problem with the GFC was mortgage backed securities that were given AAA credit ratings. Unfortunatlely, banks began lending to debtors who were not a good credit risk (subprime mortgages), of course, when interest rates increased these mortgages fell over. Not only did the mortgage bcked securities lose value but so did insurance schemes eg credit swaps taken out on the security. The result was AEG collapsed, Lehman Brothers collapsed and the good old taxpayer had to bail out the US banking system. The taxpayer got nothing in return, not even equity in the banks they bailed out. Huge transfer of weath from the indebted tax payer to wealthy institutions. Clearly, the US requires a well maintined regulated banking system as capitalism, by itself will occasionally collapse.

[@nthperson]

There is a good deal to be learned by studying how depression triggers aligned in the past. So, to understand why the "Great Depression" occurred in the 1930s, one must look at what occurred during the years building up to the crash. A significant amount of the credit made available during the 1920s went into land speculation. A good primer on what occurred is found in the book "Only Yesterday" by historian Frederick Lewis Allen. Not only did investors become captured by the frenzy of the Florida land boom, this same frenzy occurred in many cities in response to population increases that triggered a significant increase in the demand for both commercial and residential land. An agricultural land boom also occurred during the First World War, during which time farmers borrowed heavily to expand their land holdings and production. A few years was required after the war ended for European farmers to recover, but by the mid-1920s global production exceeded demand, prices fell, farmers defaulted on loans when government guarantees were removed, and rural banks failed by the hundreds. As the land boom crashed, investors shifted heavily into the stock market, driving up prices well beyond what any fundamentals supported. Thus, by the end of 1929 the U.S. economy was stressed across almost all areas of production as well in the financial markets. To be sure, imprudent bank lending deepened the crash and lengthened its duration, but it was a crash in the making because of the failure to utilize tax policy to tame the credit-fueled, speculation-driven land markets. A few economists (e.g., Harry Gunnison Brown, Scott Nearing and John R. Commons) had argued the case made in the late 19th century by Henry George, who showed that cyclical booms and busts would be tamed only if the full or nearly-full public capture of the potential annual rental value of land and of rents from other sources (e.g., the broadcast spectrum) became public policy. Harry Gunnison Brown was joined over the succeeding decades by a small group of economics professors who continued to make Henry George's case. One could argue that recessions that began again following the end of the Second World War would have been even worse if local governments did not capture some land rent via the taxation of real estate. However, as land prices climbed property assessments rarely kept pace. This made speculation in land an even more profitable investment. Relying on out-of-date assessed valuations rather than current market values created a serious analytical problem for government statisticians. They simply did not understand that any increase in the price of land is inflationary and did not include such increases in their calculation of inflation. Another failure has been to accurately calculate the annual aggregate rent that is privately captured as unearned income (whether imputed or actual). Since the administration of Ronald Reagan, the federal government has not monitored land prices. The figures utilized in the econometric models relied upon by the Congressional Budget Office and the Federal Reserve are around 5 percent of the actual potential rent in the economy (see Joseph Stiglitz or Mason Gaffney on this particular problem). I offer here a very rough estimate of the rent attached to just one part of the economy, the residential property market. At mid-2020, the median price of a single-family property was around $295,000. There are about 140 million existing housing units in the United States. If we assume a fairly conservative median land-to-total value ratio of 35%, this means that the aggregate residential land value in the U.S. is $103,250 per property, multiplied by 140 million = $14,455,000,000,000 ($14.455 trillion). Economic theory tells us that this aggregate land price occurs because of the capitalization of the net amount of rent that remains in private hands after taxation. If most or all of the rent were captured via taxation there would be nothing to be capitalized and land prices would fall to very close to zero. What the rent fund might be depends on the discount rate. If we assume that investors will invest in land if they can obtain an annual increase of 5%, the the rent fund would be calculated as follows: 5% of $14.455 trillion = $722.75 billion of rent JUST for the land under existing residential buildings. Add in the number of vacant residential lots around the U.S. and this figure will increase considerably. Tragically, the public capture of land rent never became public policy, allowing the land market cycle to operate from boom to bust. It is on schedule to crash again in 2026. I have prepared a relatively short video in support of this forecast for anyone who reads this and has an interest in more details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ6kZ42GqJKqq9U
