The U.S. and global economy are in a fragile position right now. Many economists believe we're on our way to a recession, and the JPMorgan CEO says we're headed toward something worse. Now Graham Stephan, a real estate investor and personal finance expert, has warned that the worst economic collapse could be coming.
In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Stephan discussed signs that two of the world's major banks are in trouble. Although there are mixed opinions about how bad the situation is, it's important to be aware of what's going on and to get ready financially.
Credit Suisse is one of the largest banks in the world, with over $1.5 trillion in assets under management. That's enough to place it among a small group of globally systemic banks, meaning banks that are vital to the global economy...
Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank aren't doing great right now. The big question is whether they're actually at risk of going under.
Despite the grim headlines, some experts have said the situation isn't as bad as it seems. Even in a worst-case scenario, there's the possibility of these banks getting bailouts if necessary, given their global importance.
Based on the recent news, Stephan says, "There is a risk that the world's largest banks could be in trouble." However, he also says "they've grown to the point where they could also be supported by government funding in the event that their downfall would lead to a global catastrophe." Basically, they could be too big to fail.
At the moment, there's no way to be completely sure The most likely scenario is that they recover, either on their own or with government funding. But as Stephan pointed out, there is a real risk that one or both could collapse.

If two quarters of negative GDP isn't already a recession what is?
I see where your confusion comes from. That is the standard for a Republican administration.
Cloward-Pivin Obama-Biden strategy.
There should not have been a bailout in 2008.
Now the asset bubble is so big it is mind-blowing, not just here but worldwide.
I remember some article about the Chinese real estate derivatives market was somewhere around $1.2-$1.4 quadrillion.
That’s insane. And that’s just one country and one market segment.
Too Big to Fail, Part II.
Governments bailing out the banks? With what? Worthless currency?
Then we need a bailout and even more NINJA loans to make it better. Good thing we emptied the petroleum reserves, else we would be in real trouble…said by every democrat and news anchor
The central banks can live off pf the churn because inflation almost always lags behind its cause.
This fellow advises having plenty of cash in the bank. I’d say yeah to cash and some metals. The bank, however, is the last place I’d put it. When I saw what Canada did to the truckers’ assets, and when I saw what the chinee did to the anti-lockdowners’ bank accounts, I vowed to have only the amount I need to pay my regular bills plus a couple $grand for emergency repairs, etc. Otherwise, my bank accounts have been drained.
An economic collapse was put in office by a crooked election in 2000.
“ even more NINJA loans to make it better”
These loans haven’t been made in well over a decade.
No one knows what an economic crash would look like because each "crash" is different. It's like a crash landing of an aircraft.
The great depression was very long in duration because of the convergence of several factors: the stage of our industrial development at that time plus the great droughts and resultant storms that caused the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, wiping out many farms that might otherwise have sustained the country after the economic crash. The depression was prolonged because this wasn't a period of rapid new industrial development, some of which might have lifted the spirits, employment, and production of the nation.
Our own economic conditions right now are unique and no one can predict what effects an economic crash would have.
All this said, any economic crash at this time might be politically engineered by those who wish to kill "democracy" and return to an old system of fiefdoms of rule by elites.
China, members of the WEF, and communists everywhere would all love the opportunity to kill off "representative governments" around the world.
“ These loans haven’t been made in well over a decade.”
True, but I did read somewhere very recently that there was talk of bringing them back. I will see if I can find where I read that. With todays demonrats working overtime to wreck the economy, I find it more than just plausible
No shucks, Sherlock.
“ the Stock Holders EAT THE LOSS.”
Yeah, that’s likely the problem…the stock holders are most likely Vanguard, Black Rock, State Street, JP Morgan or some combination of such. Those stock holders essentially are in complete control of the governments involved. The only thing those elites eat are the masses of the people, they sure as Hell never eat losses.
