What founders and investors in startups need to know about the history of bankruns and how to protect themselves from them in the future. Here's the text on which my talk was based: Historical Perspective on SVB's Failure for Investors & Founders This is Sal Daher of the Angel Invest Boston podcast. Prior to becoming an investor in tech startups, I spent decades as a banker and trader involved with the distressed debt of countries. My experience came in handy recently in allowing me to reassure the startups in my portfolio with deposits at SVB that the FDIC would have no option but to make all depositors whole. This piece aims to explain why the business model of banks and past government decisions precluded any other options. It also points to ways that founders can manage deposit risk. While it bothers me to see well-off people bailed out by the taxpayer, it is the necessary if imperfect course of action until we make structural changes to hold bank management more accountable. Why was I so certain in my assurances? Because financial authorities in the US and other countries had learned a hard lesson back when Lehman Brothers (not a deposit-taking bank) was allowed to fail in September of 2008. Lehman's bankruptcy set off an inevitable chain of events that led to the meltdown of the market for credit risk insurance. This revealed pervasive rot in financial instruments widely held by institutions starved for yields. Thus began the Sub-Prime Crisis that ruined millions and blighted the career of so many of my colleagues in finance for nearly a decade. The hard lesson learned was that when a financial panic gets going it's impossible to tell where it will stop. The term contagion is apt. Financial authorities understood the need to take prompt steps to reassure investors not to make irrational moves that could impoverish us all. Back in 2008 they ended up taking over banks which created lasting distortions, some of which are still with us today. While the circumstances of SVB's failure are different from Lehman's, the fundamental lesson of maintaining the orderly functioning of financial markets still applies. If the FDIC had stuck strictly to its $250K deposit insurance limit (which BTW had been $100K until the Lehman event) chaos would have ensued. Depositors everywhere would have immediately started spreading any holding in excess of $250K to other banks to avoid the possibility of loss and could have melted down the entire banking system. An impaired banking system would have resulted in hundreds of thousands of companies going under and millions of people losing their jobs. So, preventing financial panic is a public service for the entire population. It's comparable to the fire department. Fire brigades were set up to prevent individual house fires from spreading and burning down entire neighborhoods. There is a fundamental flaw in the business model of banks. Banks lend long and borrow short. Borrowers want to repay banks months or years into the future. Depositors usually are not willing to tie up their money for more than a few months. This creates a mismatch between the maturity of loans made by banks (assets) and deposits taken by banks (liabilities). The delicate balance between assets and liabilities is hard to achieve. This is why banks keep cash reserves on hand, i.e., they don't lend out all their deposits. They also have short-term borrowing lines with other banks or the Federal Reserve to make sure they have cash meet all their obligations. But if enough depositors decide that a bank is impaired, even the soundest bank would not be able to meet the demand for immediate payment without outside help. This is the role the FDIC has come to play. A role with which I am not entirely comfortable, but as we have seen, is essential as things stand. Many argue that unlimited deposit guarantee removes the incentive from depositors to vet a banks' books. In the absence of this vetting there is a natural temptation for banks to take all the risk possible with depositor's money because if things go well the bank's shares will go up and the management will get bonuses. This moral hazard of deposit guarantees is supposedly mitigated by regulations that limit how much a bank can lend and impose minimum capital requirements. Unfortunately, the regulations failed in the case of SVB. The bank appeared to meet its capital requirements but when depositors started to draw out money, it started to sell its reserves. This prompted changes as to how assets were valued and put it suddenly in default of capital requirements. This led to a failed attempt to raise more equity in the stock market. One moment SVB seemed fine, the next moment it was on the rocks. Bank books are complicated beyond the ability of even the most sophisticated depositor to figure out. The idea of savvy depositors keeping banks honest is fanciful. The only parties who have any hope of knowing enough about what's going on in the bank are its management and its board of directors. I support making bank directors and senior management personally liable if a federal rescue is needed. So, what's a founder to do when holding more than $250,000 in cash? One thing to consider is to have the funds in more than one bank, if only to avoid a sleepless weekend as so many founders experienced recently. But that only gets you up to protecting $500,000 or $750,000. Another option to consider is putting funds into money market funds held by Fidelity, Schwab or Vanguard. Funds held in custody for a beneficiary are legally protected from claims against the entity. This does not mean that there is no risk. Even safe money market instruments may lose value in times of stress, but the exposure to any one entity is much less concentrated. There's always the risk of fraud or unauthorized trades but those are not usually system-wide and the entities usually make good on those. Founders are in the business of sailing in uncharted waters. However, many of the risks that threaten a startup are known to accountants and board members. My advice is to bring up the matter of risk with your CFO and your board. If you don't have one it's time you found at least a fractional CFO and functioning board. If found this brief piece useful I invite you to follow Angel Invest Boston on your podcast app. Thanks for listening. This is Sal Daher.

The Potter Discussion: Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and the Wizarding World Fandom
In this episode, we discuss Tom Felton's new book. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· Get Tom Felton's book here.· 1:47 What can be gained from this book? There are a lot of different stories that have a wide variety of stages in Tom's life. The book doesn't move in perfect chronological order. It's very well done and every piece of the story fits in place. As to what can be gained, we can gain a peek behind the curtain of production on the Potter set and of Tom's life. We now have a different view of the filming that deepens our understanding of the filming. We also see what was going on in Tom's head. It's hard to be put on a set with millions of dollars on the line and pressure of producing a fantastic film. With this book, we can fully understand what was going on in Tom's head every step of the way.· 9:52 Was there an element of surprise? No! Granted, I didn't know 99% of the things he wrote about in the book about his life and just about every page held a story or piece of information I had no idea existed. But at the core of the book, it is the story of a kid dealing with the difficulty of being in a stressful situation. · 14:55 Did Tom's childhood affect his acting? Of course. He had a pack of brothers that showed him the world and were some of his first big supporters. They taught him how to fish and how to keep a job and how to steal something from a store. Perhaps what was more influential in his acting before Potter was his experience acting beforehand. He did several ads and projects including The Borrowers which was his first real time on a large-scale set.· 19:24 Should similar books be published like this? Absolutely. Having this 3D view of the story is extremely valuable and any more stories of the goings on behind the curtain on set are only going to help the story. Anyone else who worked on the set could write something just as amazing.· 22:25 What are some of my favorite parts in the story? First is the first chapter where he stole a CD. It showed his character and was a great introduction to the book. I enjoyed his stories of getting driven into work and his dyed hair. He also wrote about how often they corpse on set. A story that stood out to me was toward the end of the book when he left rehab for a bit and wanted to see some of his friends across town and met some very amazing people along the way. · 28:25 Thumbs up or thumbs down? Well, surprise surprise, I give Tom's book a giant thumbs up. It is a fantastic behind the scenes look on Harry Potter and what goes on in Tom's life. Having anything you want to hear or say?

Genevieve Bonadies Torres, an associate director with the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, joined “Cases and Controversies” podcast to discuss the amicus brief she filed in a pair of cases, Biden v. Nebraska and Dept. of Education v. Brown, set for argument on Feb. 28. The loan relief plan, which is on hold due to litigation, “will eliminate or markedly reduce” payments for millions of lower-income borrowers, many of whom experienced economic hardship during the pandemic, her brief said. Without intervention, the potential consequences of default could prevent people from paying for basic needs or even threaten their employment. Those risks are “particularly heightened for borrowers of color,” Torres said. The court challenges focus on a rule known as the major questions doctrine, which directs courts to be skeptical of attempts to use narrow, often ambiguous laws to authorize sweeping, or major programs. The doctrine has recently been bolstered by the court's new conservative 6-3 majority. But Torres' seeks to refocus attention of the court on impacts of the Biden plan on minority borrowers. Those implications, and the questions they might prompt from the court's liberal justices, could “play a role in the background” by pushing the Supreme Court's middle to take a sort of off-ramp to deciding the legality of the program, she said.

An important term and very timely topic right now in the real estate industry is Debt Service Coverage. Debt service is the loan against the property. Often with more expensive properties there is multiple levels of debt from 50% low interest rate to mezzanine debt, to 2nd or 3rd mortgages. Essentially it's the full monthly payment that encompasses the whole costs of managing and servicing the property. It's most important, but often unclear when it comes to investment properties. Lenders want to know if you borrow money against a property, they can be assured you can service the debt that you're applying for. What are the factors lenders consider to establish the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)? DSCRs are dramatically hindered and being affected by the rise in interest rates, which of course brings concern of refinance and default. Borrowers that have been squeaking by with low interest rate mortgages are going to find themselves upside down when they refinance. The financial crisis of 2008 was born out of large numbers of mortgages going into default, which means borrowers were not able to service their debt. So what is the quiet sentiment amongst bankers about what's going to happen with these non-QM loans? And the real question remains... have we learned the crucial lessons we needed to from the great financial crisis?

There are man-made fixtures all around us. This is well-known but why is it an important question? It is important because of the facade of truth that becomes cemented in mind, thereby forgetting the human nature that comes with these fixtures steeped in privilege, selfishness and greed. Leading to positions that takes advantage of other peoples. Therefore, we must not take for granted an existence created within our reality bent in the ways of the creators. Or else you will be left behind to hold the stick; you and your children and grandchildren. Hence, Critical Thinking is necessary as it thinks about thinking in relation to thought and rethinks the thought that was central to thinking that has position our thoughts and realities. What is Critical thinking? In its simplistic and basic definition, it is thinking about thinking and what was previously or is the current thought that build on or debunk information that leads to new discoveries of thought and positions that improves life. It is deliberately and intentionally reflecting on truths, challenging oneself whether through introspective discourse or engagements with others. It deconstructs reality by scrutinizing current knowledge and truths we have about ourselves. Critical Thinking is usually within the realm of the postcolonial, postmodern, skeptics or those who are fighting for better leading to effective and progress. This brings us to Critical Economics, which when placed within what we have said about critical thinking is then thinking & rethinking ideas and principles about economics that has come to shape how we allocate or distribute resources within society. It means looking at the inequity and distributional challenges in society today from an economics that aims to allocate resources fairly and efficiently. However, A Free-Market system has not achieved that, what economics was developed or supposed to do - distribute evenly within a perfectly competitive market. It is full of nepotism driven by neo-capitalistic forms of economics. Within a Capitalist society such as the US, where buyers & sellers transact business & set prices. However, the Feds have raised interest rates a third time in the last few months which directly affects price as it affects costs of financial instruments. The cost is passed onto the consumer. Further increases in interest rates affects behaviors in the market. People mt usually spend less and park their money in investment schemes or high-yield savings accounts if they know they're gonna get higher interest rates. Borrowers will have to pay more on their loans and therefore, less people may want to access loans. This drives down demand, especially when demand is outstripping supply given the amount of money in the economy and the limited supply. However, those without money or limited funds will bear the brunt of the cost stemming from the increase in interest rates. Raising interest rates must be understood in terms of who benefits? Lenders, Bankers, the rich, those with money who can afford to lend and garner greater returns from a slowing economy, and those who can afford to park millions in investments and high-yield savings accounts. The rest will see a freeze in salaries and wages, increase in mortgages and loans, some consumer goods given the increase in production and labor costs coming from higher interests on business loans. The cost is passed to the working class so as to keep them working class and to ensure supernormal profit for the rich. The Feds, comprised of wealthy investors financiers, old money and politicians who control monetary policies have come to supply a doctrine enshrined into psyche and academia without challenge. If the Feds increase rates to mob-up-liquidity, it means then that they are increasing the cost of living on the working class so that they can retreat to the usual, working paycheck-to-paycheck, because the thinking is that there's too much money in the economy?

Kris shares the secrets of how she's established, maintained, and lived her memorable branding, and how she's taken advocating for the betterment of her client's long-term finances to an unprecedented level. From her returning clients, all the way to those who have only seen her K2K branding in passing –- there's no denying Kris has made herself and her business unforgettable. Kris shares how consistently going beyond the call of duty to advocate for even the toughest borrower cases has brought her incredible success in 2022. “It's so important now to be giving that extra to people. Where brokers are so much better is that only brokers can do loans that most can't, right?” Kris notes “Wells Fargo tells the client they can't get approved, and never tells them how to fix their situation. That client may be able to get approved. It may not be as far away as we think.. And that's where I think I've set my business kind of apart, is that honestly, I will have a talk with anybody. I tell agents, send in my way, let's chat about it.

On this episode of Broker to Broker, host JP Hussey sits down with Thomas Sloan, Certified Mortgage Advisor at Capital First Mortgage. Thomas shares his recent experiences of entering the Wholesale Channel just before the pandemic, and how navigating that environment was a crash course of how to succeed through the worst the mortgage industry had been since 2008. These experiences, in turn, made him a stronger advocate for his borrowers. It's evident that Thomas is a true mortgage expert and fiduciary – always looking out for his client's best financial interests. “The harder you work, the more you stay in touch with your borrowers,” Thomas states. “The more you pay attention to their pennies and try to save them money wherever you can – the more they appreciate you, then refer you. Most of my business is referrals from my borrowers to other people, not real estate agents.” Key Points: 2:44 From Hospitality to the Mortgage Industry 8:03 Becoming a Full-Time Broker 11:33 Working Lean with a Small Brokerage 15:57 Flexibility as a Business Model 19:57 Organic Leads Through Doing the Right Thing 25:46 Taking the Time to Educate Realtors 29:57 Humanizing Yourself to your Borrowers This episode is sponsored by RCN Capital

With interest rates rising and the economy slowing, the world of credit is getting a lot harder for both lenders and borrowers — and that's especially painful in the mortgage market, given how high house prices are. Matt Sanchez, Founder and CTO of CognitiveScale thinks that Artificial Intelligence can help: it can help loan officers identify potential borrowers ahead of time, and it can help borrowers get access to the right mortgage offers.

In this talk with hosts Michael Leifman and Marco Annunziata, Matt explains the value that CognitiveScale's TrustStar solution brings to the table, and how.

145: If you've ever sold land with seller financing, and if you've taken the approach of not pulling credit reports or investigating the borrower's ability to repay (i.e., loan underwriting), you're probably familiar with the disappointment of a borrower who stops paying and leaves you to pick up the pieces.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/145)What if there was a better way to create a more predictable income stream from each property you sold with owner financing?There is! And the process is surprisingly easy, especially if you enlist the help of a residential mortgage loan originator (RMLO).In this episode, I'm talking with Max Bailey from CalltheUnderwriter.com to discuss the "how" and the "why" of using an RMLO. After hearing the rationale behind this kind of service, you may ask why you wouldn't use this for every seller-financed property you sell in the future!

‘This is not our customer...' That was the common justification banks used to deny loans to the entrepreneurs Shivani Siroya supported through her work with the United Nations. While it's not unusual for a tech startup to raise millions before ever launching a product, small business owners across the globe are all-too-often deemed unworthy of even just a few hundred dollars by traditional financial institutions. In 2011, Shivani set out to change this at scale. Her company, Tala, has since disbursed more than $3 billion in microloans across India, Kenya, Mexico, and the Philippines. Borrowers simply answer a few questions on a mobile app and — within minutes — they have access to capital. What's more is that the vast majority of the Tala's loans are repaid, even with such a frictionless vetting process. This week on How I Built This Lab, Shivani talks with Guy about the lightbulb moments that drove the creation of this vital credit solution and its potential to uplift entire national economies.
