Key Episode Takeaways: Colin Foster is the CEO and co-founder of Brainpower. Brainpower specializes in D2C ecosystem growth for consumer brands. Positioning in the market is crucial for agency success. Predictable customer acquisition is essential for growth. Financial literacy is a key aspect of marketing. Brands should focus on one channel at a time for ad spend. Direct communication with customers can reveal valuable insights. Understanding customer demographics can improve product naming. Repurchase rates can be improved through customer engagement. Slow and steady growth can be more sustainable than rapid growth. Many customers associate protein products solely with protein use. Rebranding products to trigger consumption can increase sales. Customer feedback is crucial for understanding market needs. Engaging with customers can provide valuable insights for product improvement. Younger demographics often prefer text communication over phone calls. It's not about the volume of customers, but the quality of insights from interactions. Learning what customers want can differentiate your brand from competitors. Using customer conversations can enhance marketing strategies. Positive customer interactions can lead to better review outcomes. Personal connections in customer service can improve brand loyalty.

Tyler helps spearhead a team that invests into funds, co-investments, and secondaries across private equity, growth equity, and venture fund strategies.Tyler and I had a fascinating conversation about how an industry behemoth allocates capital across funds and strategies. We discussed:What they look for when investing into funds.Why middle market private equity is an area they have focused on.The opportunity for secondaries in the current market.The differences between a first time investor and a first time fund manager.What a scalable and replicable process really means when it comes to evaluating fund managers.Thanks Tyler for coming on the podcast to share your deep experience in private markets. Hope you enjoy.Contact JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. at 1-800-480-4111 for a fund prospectus. You can also visit us at www.jpmorganfunds.com. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives and risks as well as charges and expenses of the mutual fund before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the mutual fund. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.This document is a general communication being provided for informational purposes only. It is educational in nature and not designed to be a recommendation for any specific investment product, strategy, plan feature or other purpose. Any examples used are generic, hypothetical and for illustration purposes only. Prior to making any investment or financial decisions, an investor should seek individualized advice from personal financial, legal, tax and other professionals that take into account all of the particular facts and circumstances of an investor's own situation.Risk SummaryThe following considerations, which summarize some, but not all, of the risks of an investment in the representative strategy, should be carefully evaluated.General Investment RisksThere is no assurance that the investments held by the Fund will be profitable, that there will be proceeds from such investments available for distribution to Shareholders or that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Fund performance may be volatile and a Shareholder could incur a total or substantial loss of its investment. There can be no assurance that projected or targeted returns for the Fund will be achieved.Financial Market DevelopmentsVolatile conditions in the capital markets may cause limitations on the ability of companies in which the Portfolio Funds will invest to obtain capital, or subject such companies to higher costs of capital for financing. This lack of available credit could impede upon the ability of such companies to complete investments and higher costs of capital could reduce the returns of the Fund or Portfolio Funds. Changes in interest rates may adversely affect the investments held by the Fund. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect the value of the Fund's investments. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental, monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, fiscal deficits, trade surpluses or deficits, regulatory requirements and other factors beyond the control of the Fund and the companies in which the Portfolio Funds invest. Although it is expected that the Fund's borrowings, if any, will be short-term in nature, the companies in which the Portfolio Funds invest may finance a significant portion of their activities with both fixed and floating rate debt. By financing the acquisition and development of an investment with floating rate debt, such companies and Portfolio Funds, and indirectly the Fund, will bear the risk that in the event of rising interest rates and a lack of concomitant growth in income, or any increase in underwriting standards that might limit the availability of credit, it could become difficult for such companies and Portfolio Funds to obtain refinancing. In such a case, a company or Portfolio Funds could be forced to take actions that might be disadvantageous at the time in question, such as refinancing on unfavorable terms or selling an asset. Any rise in interest rates may also significantly increase the interest expense of the companies in which the Fund and Portfolio Funds invest, causing losses and/or the inability to service debt levels. If a company in which a Portfolio Funds invests cannot generate adequate cash flow to meet debt obligations, the Fund may suffer a partial or total loss of capital invested in the Portfolio Funds. Given current market conditions following a historically low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened.Closed-End Fund Structure; Liquidity Limited to Periodic Repurchases of SharesThe Fund is designed primarily for long-term investors. An investment in the Fund, unlike an investment in a traditional listed closed-end fund, should be considered illiquid. The Shares are appropriate only for investors who are comfortable with investment in less liquid or illiquid portfolio investments within an illiquid fund. An investment in the Shares is not suitable for investors who need access to the money they invest. Unlike open-end funds (commonly known as mutual funds), which generally permit redemptions on a daily basis, the Shares will not be redeemable at a Shareholder's option. Unlike stocks of listed closed-end funds, the Shares are not listed, and are not expected to be listed, for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the Shares in the foreseeable future. The Fund's private market investments will be illiquid and typically cannot be transferred or redeemed for a substantial period of time. The Shares are designed for long-term investors, and the Fund should not be treated as a trading vehicle.Repurchase of Shares RiskAlthough the Board may, in its sole discretion, cause the Fund to offer to repurchase outstanding Shares at their net asset value and the Adviser intends to recommend that, in normal market circumstances, the Board conducts quarterly repurchase offers of no more than 5% of the Fund's net assets. Shares are considerably less liquid than shares of funds that trade on a stock exchange or shares of open-end registered investment companies. It is possible that the Fund may be unable to repurchase all of the Shares that a Shareholder tenders due to the illiquidity of the Fund investments or if the Shareholders request the Fund to repurchase more Shares than the Fund is then offering to repurchase. In addition, substantial requests for the Fund to repurchase Shares could require the Fund to liquidate certain of its investments more rapidly than otherwise desirable in order to raise cash to fund the repurchases and achieve a market position appropriately reflecting a smaller asset base. This could have a material ad...

Phunware Chief Operations Officer Randall Crowder joins Natalie Stoberman from the Proactive studios to discuss its newly announced stock repurchase plan. Crowder says the Board of Directors has authorized the plan under which the company may repurchase up to $5 million of the company's outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The stock repurchase plan is expected to be completed over the next 12 months.

Today's discussion begins with the big shake-up in Shopify's (SHOP) management team, specifically the appointment of Jeff Hoffmeister as CFO. Josh explains how tech companies hiring Wall St veterans signals their maturity and talks about the possibilities of Shopify expanding into banking and loans for the companies it supports.  Josh and Ryan then chew over the stickiness of cybersecurity with Josh, explaining why, if you're a CSO at any company, it's the last part of the IT stack you eliminate. He also gets into why he's so bullish on Crowdstrike (CRWD).  While Josh maintains that Nvidia (NVDA) is his favorite company, he lays out why he reduced his position by almost 100% and at the price at which he's looking to reenter. He also shares his thoughts on why the CHIPS act is far too little, far too late. Lastly, Josh and Ryan discuss Tesla (TSLA). The prospect of the company mining its own lithium and why, like Apple, greater vertical integration is likely to improve their product.

Repurchase agreement failures by America's Primary Dealers have moved step-for-step with Japan's yen for two years. As the tempo of musical (financial-collateral) chairs picks up (scarcity, scramble) the yen depreciates. We explain why and what it means.****DISCLOSURES****Jeffrey Snider (The Promoter) is acting as a promoter for an investment advisory firm, Atlas Financial Advisors, Inc. (AFA). Jeffrey Snider is affiliated with AFA as a promoter only and is not in any way giving investment advice or recommendations on behalf of AFA. The Promoter is being compensated by a fee arrangement: The Promoter will receive compensation on a quarterly basis, based on the increase in account openings that can be reasonably attributed to the Promoter's activity.

Episode Description:  In today's BetterWealth episode, I am joined by Dan Kaminski, head of operations, as we discuss the Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreement Program which is creating a money market program for Banks. Essentially, this program allows banks to store money when they don't want to accrue loss in the market. In this episode we look at how banks are currently sticking money in this program like never before with a current 1.3 trillion dollars. Join us as Dan and I explore why this might be happening! #BETTERWEALTH For more information on BetterWealth or the content you hear on the Podcast visit us at http://www.betterwealth.com/podcast (www.betterwealth.com/podcast).

Repurchase obligations are a major component of ESOP administration and the main way in which employee-owners benefit from owning a financial stake in the companies they worked for. Yet, these obligations are often seen as a burden, and in some cases, can lead to the freezing or termination of the ESOP plan. In this episode we speak with Josh Young of UBS about how ESOP companies can rethink their approach to repurchase obligations in a way that reframes obligations as something to celebrate, rather than an administrative burden.  Guest Details  Josh Young, UBS: https://advisors.ubs.com/joshua.m.young/ We Want To Hear From You!  If you have an employee ownership story you want to tell send us an email at oeoc@kent.edu.

September 28 2020 Monday  You Are Blessed And Not Cursed / Share This Podcast On Your Social Media Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.' Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

An employee stock ownership plan (an “ESOP”) is a type of employee benefit plan regulated by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Employees who are ESOP participants are in many ways treated similarly to shareholders of their company. This applies to bankruptcy as well, which means that ESOP participants are effectively “last in line” and usually get nothing if the company is liquidated. However, recent case law suggests that this treatment may not apply to repurchase obligations toward former employees. Repurchase obligations may be treated as debt, which may give an ESOP participant higher priority in bankruptcy putting them next in line after the senior secured lender. In this podcast, Lavelle Law attorney Roman Perchyts answers questions about ESOPs and bankruptcy and addresses concerns that banks may have regarding the priority of repurchasing obligations in bankruptcy. 

South Africa’s central bank (SARB) said on Friday it would reduce overnight repo auctions to one per day from the two daily auctions it had implemented since early March to inject liquidity into banking system after the coronavirus had caused serious disruptions. The bank said in a statement that this minor amendment to the liquidity management strategy will not have any adverse effect on liquidity operations and should not be construed as a change to the SARB’s liquidity provision to the market. Repurchase agreements, or repos, are a form of short-term borrowing used in the money markets, with mainly commercial banks and investment houses purchasing the securities in order to raise cash quickly and meet capital ratio rules. --- This episode is sponsored by · Afrolit Podcast: Hosted by Ekua PM, Afrolit shares the stories of multi-faceted Africans one episode at a time. https://open.spotify.com/show/2nJxiiYRyfMQlDEXXpzlZS?si=mmgODX3NQ-yfQvR0JRH-WA Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support

In a repurchase agreement, or repo, one party sells an asset to another party and agrees to repurchase the asset at the same price, plus a premium in the future. The first party gets a much-needed funding and the second party gets to make a little extra money. The repo market is vital to the entire financial system. So when the repo markets fall into trouble, the impact can be massive. That was the fear in September 2019, when quite a bit of cash was pulled out of repos while securities were still coming in. Overnight repo rates increased, as did the Federal Funds Rate. The Fed ultimately stepped in to stabilize things, but questions remain. Will this keep happening? If so, how often can the Fed bail the repo market out? And how might this impact corporate treasury and finance professionals? In this episode of AFP Conversations, sponsored by Invesco, Laurie Brignac, CIO and Head of Global Liquidity at Invesco, and Marques Mercier, Head of Government and Municipal Funds, Invesco Fixed Income, will help us answer these questions and more.

Welcome to Finance and Fury, The Say What Wednesday Edition Question from Mark part 2: Can you explain the repo markets that are going on at the moment? Apparently the banks are loaning money from the Feds at 10% so they have enough liquidity to survive the night/Bank run? Announcement – Last SWW ep for the year – Taking a break – Monday eps still going but no Wednesday or Friday episodes Repo market – Or repurchase market – What is it? And why are they done? What this says about the state of the economy A repurchase agreement (repo) is a form of short-term borrowing for dealers in government securities Agreement where one party sells Gov Bond they own for cash to another party – and promise to buy it back at a higher price in the near future – the inflated value is the repo rate Active participants in the domestic repo markets are those who deal in Gov Securities – include commercial banks, Central Banks, securities dealers Securities dealers - typically large domestic and international banks/investment managers that are market makers in domestic government securities – Investment funds and other non-dealer institutions are also providers of high-quality assets to dealers. These institutions typically use repos to manage their short-term funding while maintaining their exposure to these assets, and in some cases to enhance portfolio returns. Repo agreements are classified as a money-market instrument – as it functions the same as a short-term, collateral-backed, interest-bearing loan Buyer acts as a short-term lender, while the seller acts as a short-term borrower One party needs money – other party wants to make money It is a sale for cash – a sale of a certain type of fixed interest security The securities being sold are the collateral – Repurchase agreements are generally considered safe investments – but it does depend on the type of security sold Most agreements involve U.S. Treasury bonds – also Government Bonds - Central demand used to mainly be safe assets like these More recently – MBS, CDOs – assets that aren’t so safe In the case of bankruptcy, in most cases repo investors can sell their collateral – but not when the assets tank like 2008 Repurchase agreements have a maturity period called the "term" or the "tenor." - Repos with longer tenors are usually considered higher risk – due to the fact that the longer the tenor - the more factors can affect repurchaser creditworthiness, and interest rate fluctuations are more likely to have an impact on the value of the repurchased asset. It's similar to the factors that affect bond interest rates – went through last Weds The Significance of the Tenor - counterparty credit risk is the primary risk involved in repos i.e. creditor bears the risk that the debtor will be unable to repay the principal – securities as collateralized reduces the total risk – but not by 100% Specified maturity date (usually the following day or week) are term repurchase agreements - A dealer sells securities to a counterparty with the agreement that he will buy them back at a higher price on a specific date. The counterparty gets the use of the securities for the term of the transaction, and will earn interest stated as the difference between the initial sale price and the buyback price An open repurchase agreement (also known as on-demand repo) works the same way as a term repo except that the dealer and the counterparty agree to the transaction without setting the maturity date The trade can be terminated by either party by giving notice to the other party prior to an agreed-upon daily deadline - automatically rolls over each day and Interest is paid monthly Nearly all open agreements conclude within one or two years Repurchase agreements can take place between a variety of parties and reasons Example - The FED enters into repurchase agreements to regulate the money supply and bank for their reserves. The most common type is a third-party repo (also known as a tri-party repo) Repo Arrangement with a middle man - a clearing agent or bank conducts the transactions between the buyer and seller - constitute more than 90% of the repurchase agreement market Holds the securities and ensures that the seller receives cash at the onset of the agreement and that the buyer transfers funds and delivers the securities at maturation Two major clearing banks for tri-party repo - JPMorgan Chase and Bank of New York Mellon Facilitate the goals of both parties - secured funding and liquidity while the other makes a profit Example - a repo, a dealer sells government securities to investors, usually on an overnight basis, and buys them back the following day at a slightly higher price. That small difference in price is the implicit overnight interest rate. Repos are typically used to raise short-term capital. They are also a common tool of central bank open market operations. In your everyday life – say you don’t have any cash – you job is a delivery driver – but you are out of cash - need money to buy fuel as tank is empty – have a friend come over and buys your TV off you for $100 – and agree that after you finish work you will make $200 – buy TV back for $105 – if deal goes belly up well could sell TV for $100 – here the rate is 5% The Significance of the Repo Rate When central banks repurchase securities from private banks – it is done at a discounted rate, known as the repo rate Repo rates are set by central banks - allows control of the money supply within economies by increasing or decreasing available funds for the repo market – Also affects banks/funds decisions Decrease in repo rates encourages banks to sell securities back to the government in return for cash – which increases the money supply available to the general economy Increasing repo rates decreases the incentives - so central banks can effectively decrease the money supply by discouraging banks from reselling these securities To determine the true costs and benefits of a repurchase agreement - a buyer or seller must consider three different factors: Cash paid in the initial security sale and 2) the Cash to be paid in the repurchase of the security Also - The cash paid in the initial security sale and the cash paid in the repurchase will be dependent upon the value and type of security involved in the repo Third major factor - Implied rate for repo - If the rate is not favourable, a repo agreement may not be the most efficient way of gaining access to short-term cash But repurchase agreements offer better terms than money market cash lending agreements due to collateral Risks of Repo - Repurchase agreements are generally seen as credit-risk mitigated instruments The largest risk in a repo is that the seller may fail to hold up its end of the agreement by not repurchasing the securities The buyer of the security may then liquidate the security in order to attempt to recover the cash that it paid out initially Trouble is that the value of the security may have declined since the initial sale – hold and risk more loss, or take loss now There is a risk for the borrower in this transaction as well - value of the security rises above the agreed-upon terms, the creditor may not sell the security back and abandon agreement Upcoming Liquidity crisis - The Financial Crisis and the Repo Market Following the 2008 financial crisis - investors focused on a particular type of repo known as repo 105 Lots of speculation that these repos had played a part in Lehman Brothers’ attempts at hiding its declining financial health leading up to the crisis – where they were entering repo agreements to continue funding operations and to cover losses = created a lack of trust in the system – so the repo market dried up and contracted creating a liquidity squeeze for short term funding The crisis revealed problems with the repo market in general – bankrupt banks could continue to operate – putting other banks at risk of defaulting when the maturity of the repo occurs – There where and are major systemic risks The tri-party repo market’s reliance on the intraday credit which the clearing banks provide A lack of effective plans to help liquidate the collateral when a dealer defaults A shortage of viable risk management practices In late 2008 - regulators established new rules to address these risks – Mainly by putting increased pressure on banks to maintain their safest assets - such as Treasuries Incentivised to not lend them out through repo agreements Up through late 2008, the estimated value of global securities loaned in this fashion stood close to $4 trillion – then the figure dropped closer to $2 trillion. Further, the Fed has increasingly entered into repurchase (or reverse repurchase) agreements as a means of offsetting temporary swings in bank reserves This IMO created the lack of trust between the participants in repo markets – if Treasuries cant be used as securities – well it is MBS, CDOs and other risky assets up on the table – the very regulations meant to help the system just made it more dangerous due to risks of default and the assets as securities defaulting with it These changes are ineffective = there remain systemic risks to the repo space If a default by a major repo dealer occurs - might inspire a fire sale among money funds which could then negatively impact the broader market Talk about a shift toward a central clearinghouse system – with a new entity run by Central Bankers – But this was talked about 10 years ago with no real movements towards it – maybe after the next repo collapse Today – repo is back in full swing – showing signs of an upcoming liquidity crisis. It is as if the Fed’s injection into 23 Wall Street securities firms plus one foreign bank, in addition to buying up $60 billion a month in Treasury bills from Wall Street dealers, has never taken place. High yielding rates – when trust breaks down or when demand spikes – see spikes in repo rates – Around the end of quarters and Calendar year (USA especially) due to tax bills due Saw one in December last year but recently on the 17th September - This is when the Fed began its Repo loan interventions – because banks no longer trust banks This form of liquidity crisis is where the economic stresses start to occur due to a lack of money available to fund short term operations There are some similarities to the liquidity crisis of 1998 and 2008 – when the financial system stops trusting one another and those that need money to stay afloat – can’t find anyone to enter an agreement with them That is why we have seen some spikes in Repo markets around the world – Europe, China, USA – Reserve banks are the only ones being the purchaser in repo agreements – so see spikes when massive demands are present The repo markets operations are the signs that something isn’t right in the financial system – especially after the requirements for banks to hold more Treasury notes – have to sell off riskier assets at higher repo rates   Summary - No surprise that something isn’t right in the financial system – the spikes in the repo rates are a sign of the liquidity crisis occurring – especially as most managers for investments are almost fully invested – not a lot of cash or reserves in place to fund their own operations without the repo market Thanks for listening, if you want to get in contact you can do so here: http://financeandfury.com.au/contact/        

How is liquidity like monetary sovereignty? What is the repo market and why does it upset Jimmy Dore? Nathan Tankus gives the MMT perspective.

If you follow the financial press you’ve probably noticed some recent hysteria about the “repo market.” Since this involves the dealings of the Federal Reserve, it falls under our purview here at Macro ‘n Cheese. Because unraveling the strands of this dense subject requires someone more knowledgeable than we are, we called upon friend-of-the-podcast Nathan Tankus to help us out. Nathan is Research Director at Modern Money Network and can often be found on Twitter, educating the world about MMT. “Repo” simply refers to the repurchase of bonds. Banks and bond traders sell Treasury bonds back to the Federal Reserve with the understanding that they (the banks) will buy them back the following day. As Nathan points out, this is always spoken of from the point of view of the central bank as buyer; it could just as well be called the resale market. Why does this matter? Why do the banks sell back their Treasurys for such a brief period of time? When banks buy them back the price is higher due to the interest charged. So why do it at all? It turns out to be the mechanism by which banks ensure that they have enough balance reserves to ensure that their payments clear. To do this they need to deal with liquid assets, which can quickly be bought and sold and converted to "money" (or at least change the balance in their account). Nothing is more liquid than a Treasury bond. See? Perhaps the banking industry isn’t just lawlessness and anarchy after all? Well, they certainly want us to believe the system is self-regulating so we won’t demand that the lawmakers rein them in and protect the public. As Nathan explains it, concern about the repo market is much ado about nothing. The central bank has been doing these repurchase agreements since 1917 and during some periods they are a normal part of the Fed’s toolbox. But the 2008 financial crisis put a halt to the practice for a while. In response to the liquidity crisis (ie, the lack of liquid assets), the Fed created trillions of dollars of what most of us think of as bail-out money, which was distributed to all the banks. At that point, banks didn’t need to sell bonds to meet their reserve balances because they all had plenty. Thus, no need for repo. When repo agreements started up again, some in the media thought that, since it hadn’t been done since 2008, it must be a sign that there’s a new crisis at hand. It doesn’t help that the FDIC, headed by Trump appointee Jelena McWilliams, is investigating the central bank, insisting that the repo market is actually another bank bailout by the Fed. Somehow, people have forgotten that these have historically been normal activities. In this interview we learn the meaning of the liquidity trap -- and liquidity itself. We learn about settlement balances, quantitative easing, and overnight interest rates. We learn of regulations like Dodd-Frank and international banking agreements like Basel III. We learn how these things are connected to such far-flung historical events as Bretton Woods, the Yom Kippur War, and German postwar reparations. We learn why MMT economists have promoted a detailed understanding of monetary operations and argue that the banking system does not serve the public purpose. The next time you get spooked by a headline in the financial press, tune into this episode again. It all makes so much sense when explained by someone who knows what he’s talking about.  Nathan Tankus is Research Director at Modern Money Network. modernmoneynetwork.org @NathanTankus on Twitter

In this episode, James and Ant interview Robert Anthony Peters, producer and director of Tank Man, the story of the everyday person who stood down the Chinese army during the Tiananmen Massacre. In 1989, the Chinese people staged a series of protests in Tiananmen Square calling for democratic reforms. When the authorities had had enough, they sent in troops and tanks to break up the protests, killing and wounding thousands. One man, whose name and fate remains unknown, stood in front of the tanks and refused to let them pass.

Repurchase agreements or Repos are a cornerstone of today's leveraged economic system. They've been around since 1917. It's a way for banks to eke out a few more basis points on their bond holdings. Just yesterday the interest rate shot up from 2.25% to 10% overnight. This situation is unheralded. When things start going wrong in this market, there's likely major problems ahead. It's a market based on trust and certainty of repayment by banks and other major financial institutions. When they lose faith as they did in 2008, bad things happen. Like credit freezes and potential bank failures. Will 2019 be a replay of 2008? Let's see what happens next.
