Silicon Valley Bank Crash - Examining the $1.7 Trillion Problem and Its Potential Impact, When applying mark to market to Silicon Valley Bank, the bank we need to assess the market value of its assets and liabilities, including loans, securities, and other financial instruments. This valuation method can be challenging in the financial industry because market values can be volatile and subject to fluctuations due to various factors such as economic conditions, interest rates, and changes in regulations. For example, if Silicon Valley Bank has issued loans to technology startups, it would need to periodically re-evaluate the market value of those loans to reflect changes in the borrowers' financial performance or market conditions. If the market value of those loans has decreased, Silicon Valley Bank may need to take a write-down, which would reduce the bank's earnings and capital. The use of mark to market can help provide a more accurate and timely valuation of Silicon Valley Bank assets and liabilities, but it requires careful analysis and monitoring of market conditions to ensure accurate valuations.

Randi Weingarten is the president of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the largest teacher unions in the United States. She has been an advocate for student loan relief and has argued that it is essential to address the student debt crisis, which has become a significant burden on millions of Americans. What she fails to point out are the numerous moral hazards: If people believe that their loans will be forgiven in the future, they may be more likely to take out larger loans or pursue more expensive degrees, which could lead to a further increase in student debt. What about the skyrocketing economic costs to student loan relief: Forgiving student loans would cost the government a significant amount of money, which could be used for other programs, such as infrastructure improvements, healthcare, or education.

Resilience and freedom are two powerful concepts that can help us navigate the challenges of life and achieve our goals. Resilience refers to the ability to bounce back from adversity, to recover quickly from setbacks, and to adapt to changing circumstances. Freedom, on the other hand, is the state of being free from external constraints, and having the ability to make our own choices and pursue our own desires. Together, resilience and freedom can help us overcome obstacles and achieve our full potential. Resilience allows us to persevere in the face of adversity, while freedom gives us the power to choose our own path and pursue our own passions. By cultivating resilience and embracing freedom, we can build a life of purpose and meaning, one that is characterized by resilience in the face of challenges and freedom to pursue our dreams. To develop resilience, it's important to cultivate a growth mindset, focus on positive self-talk, and seek out support from friends and family. We can also build resilience by setting realistic goals, practicing self-care, and embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. To embrace freedom, we need to identify our values and priorities, and align our actions with our core beliefs. We can also cultivate freedom by practicing mindfulness, letting go of limiting beliefs, and taking responsibility for our choices. Ultimately, resilience and freedom are powerful tools that can help us overcome obstacles and achieve our dreams. By cultivating these traits, we can build a life that is characterized by purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

While developing his own financial philosophy and mindset around things, Gary Pinkerton had a few key epiphanies that helped him understand how to create real wealth. Firstly, Why having a steady job with a good income doesn't guarantee financial security. In fact, it can often lead to debt and even poverty if you're not careful. Secondly, the best way to build wealth is to invest in assets that will appreciate over time. This could be done through real estate, or even starting your own business. Finally, Financial freedom doesn't come from someone else's approval or permission - it comes from taking responsibility for your own life and making choices that are in alignment with your goals. By following these principles, Gary Pinkerton was able to create a life of abundance and financial freedom.

I'm pleased to have Drew back to help us understand what the heck is happening in the trucking industry right now. Looks like too many tractors are for hire and the number of available loads are declining. Does this spell disaster from the trucking industry or is a sign of a bigger crisis for the country. We look deep into the supply chain for signs whether the economy is recovering or if it's headed for a recession. We don't wait for the politicians to tell us or for Wall Street to tell us....they usually get it wrong anyway. Drew owns his own trucking company. He lives this every day.....and he has years of experience. So is this just a normal business cycle or something more nefarious?

Sarah walks us through her Plan B including gold, silver, guns, barter-ability and community. Sarah also shares who she follows to help her plan for uncertainty.
