Ep 769 | What REALLY Happened with Silicon Valley Bank & Why It Matters | Guest: Carol Roth

Published: March 13, 2023, 7:50 p.m.

Today we're joined by\xa0Carol Roth, economic pro and recovering investment banker, to discuss Silicon Valley Bank, which failed over the weekend. Carol breaks down what happened on Friday with Silicon Valley Bank's failure, reportedly the second-largest bank failure in history, as well as the subsequent failure of a second bank\xa0\u2014 Signature Bank. How did the Federal Reserve's rapidly rising interest rates contribute to this catastrophe, and how will it affect us? The implications of this extend far outside of California, so we discuss how much we should be concerned and why it's important not to panic, but instead hope for the best and plan for the worst. We close out with a change in pace as we review the best and worst looks from the Oscars last night.\n\nYou can grab Carol's new book, "You Will Own Nothing," this July.
