Banks PASS Stress Test


The banks passed the test.

According to the Federal Reserve’s annual stress test, all 23 American banks included passed with flying colors.

Despite a projected $541 billion in (imaginary) losses for the group, all were able to maintain minimum capital levels. More importantly, they were able to continue to provide credit.

The ability to provide credit is the real lifeblood of an economy. Without credit, the economy is choked off and dies.

But it doesn’t look like that is happening.

What’s more, according to the International Monetary Fund, the United States has the best performing economy in the G-7.

Average economic growth has been 2% from 2020 to 2023.

Look, it’s easy to say there is going to be a collapse…

And if you keep predicting a recession nonstop, eventually you are going to be right.

But what we could really be seeing is a transformation, not a collapse.

Certain industries are going to be utterly gutted and remade from the inside out because of AI…

Manufacturing is returning from China (especially with semiconductors) and that will change many business models…

Retail and commercial official space are all suffering because of the dire situation in major cities because of COVID-19 and high crime…

Yet the economy as a whole continues to growth.

It’s no use betting on doom.

Human beings are incredibly tough and resisilent.

Where there is an opening, human beings will find a way to make a profit.

We owe it to those we care about to be leading the pack.

Not for us. We make our own way..

WORD ON THE STREET 

Warren Slams Bank Mergers, Breaks With Biden Administration

  • Overstock Buys “Bed, Bath & Beyond” Website And Loyalty Program – Behold the fate of a meme stock. Overstock has acquired Bed, Bath & Beyond’s brand and intellectual property and will reportedly use the bedbathandbeyond.com website as a new base. It paid a reported $21.5 million for the assets.
  • “Exactly The Wrong Approach” – Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) called the Biden Administration’s willingness to allow more bank mergers “exactly the wrong approach” in an open letter. “Allowing additional bank consolidation would be a dereliction of your responsibilities, hurting American consumers and small businesses, betraying President Biden’s commitment to promoting competition in the economy, and threatening the stability of the financial system and the economy.

Warren has been perhaps the most well-known critic of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his war on inflation
  • This Is Fine – The Congressional Budget Office said the national debt will surge over the next 30 years and eventually reach 181% of the country’s total economic output. By 2053, it should reach levels not seen since World War II. It will reach 107% of GDP by 2029.

  • Record Travel Expected For Fourth Of July – About 51 million people are expected to travel for the Fourth of July, a new record. “What this tells us is that despite inventory being limited and some prices 50% higher, consumers are not cutting back on travel this summer,” said AAA Travel’s senior vice president.



HOT SPOTS: What’s Going on in Geopolitics

  • Biden Claims Russia Losing The War – President Joe Biden expressed confidence about America’s support of Ukraine in its fight against Russia. President Biden said that the exact extent of Putin’s support is “hard to tell, but he’s clearly losing the war.” Unfortunately for the president, he mistakenly referred to the war in Iraq rather than Ukraine, and the slip-up dominated headlines about the exchange.
  • Belarus Leader Talking Out Of School – Belarussian leader Alexander Lukashenko is clearly relishing his role as peacemaker between Vladimir Putin and the Wagner Group, bragging about his role in the crisis. He revealed that Putin wanted to kill mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin. Instead, Wagner’s leader is now in Belarus, drawing protests from NATO.

  • USA May Expand Sanctions On China – The United States has already prevented China from getting equipment needed to produce semiconductors – now the sanctions may expand. The Biden Administration may prevent advanced chips that can be used for AI from being sold to China by firms like AMD and NVDA.

Bank collapses, corporate bankruptcies and more.

Silicon Valley is being gutted and completely reshaped.

CUTTING EDGE: Whats Happening In Tech

  • Reddit User Engagement Falls – Moderators’ decision to protest Reddit move to sell user data is having an impact. Daily traffic is down by about 7% and time spent on the website is down about 16%. Some of the most popular subreddits have been made “private” until the company backs down.
  • Micron Technology Reports Lower Revenue – MU reported a loss this quarter, but results were still better than expected. Shares rose in after-hours trading. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said the memory industry “has passed its trough in revenue, and we expect margins to improve as industry supply-demand balance is gradually restored.”

  • Microsoft CEO Slams Exclusive Gaming Agreements – CEO Satya Nadella said he’s against exclusive agreements between video games and gaming consoles. “I have no love for that world,” he said. MSFT is fighting hard to gain regulatory approval for its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Sony, not surprisingly, is opposing MSFT’s move, with the head of Sony Interactive Entertainment testifying that the deal is bad for competition

 

“Investors might be looking for a different place to put their money. And now there are two new opportunities – Robinhood and Apple.”

Looking to start a new savings account? There are two new options – and they aren’t the names you would normally think of when it comes to investment banking. Mr. X reports on the two new names that thousands of savers are selecting.
