00:00The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
00:01The second biggest bank collapse in U.S. history.
00:04Okay, so we've all heard about the big bank crash that happened a few weeks ago.
00:08A rough week for the banking industry.
00:10As a storm of events came together, all of us kind of freaked out.
00:13And we ran to the banks to take our money out.
00:15That was scary.
00:16But the scariest part is that that may be just the beginning.
00:20You think the Silicon Valley Bank was something?
00:23Nothing compared to what's going to happen.
00:24It's going to be at least as bad as 08-09.
00:27And the reason for what's coming that no one is talking about is commercial real estate.
00:32In this video, we're going to explain what may cause the next crash and what it means for me and you.
00:37And who will sadly be taking massive losses.
00:40The people who want too much money should take losses.
00:43Commercial real estate.
00:44What is it?
00:45Basically, property used for business purposes rather than living.
00:48Think offices, industrial units, rentals, not your apartment.
00:52And something dangerous lies in wait there.
00:55Why?
00:55Well, it all started with this guy.
00:57Meet Jerome Powell, leader of the Fed.
00:59The Fed basically controls the cost of money, aka how much inflation or prices go up each year.
01:05And how much interest rates or the cost for borrowing money also goes up each year.
01:11The Fed started raising interest rates aggressively because inflation, it's almost at all-time highs.
01:17And high inflation is bad.
01:20I mean, really bad.
01:21So when rates go up, the idea is it tamps down on spending.
01:26And because people spend less, thus theoretically inflation comes down.
01:30Ain't got no money to spend.
01:32But there are side effects.
01:34Bad ones.
01:35Like asset prices, aka the cost of hard things like real estate, fall faster than a girl
01:42at Coachella when she sees a VIP badge.
01:44VIP.
01:45A bunch of smart minds in Wall Street think commercial real estate could fall that fast.
01:50As much as 40%.
01:52That means that if you had a dollar invested, you now only have 60 cents overnight.
01:58And that might be why small and medium banks are essentially running out of money.
02:02Hundreds of banks are failing their deposit minimums for the 19th straight week in a row.
02:07So obviously, people like me and you think, let's go to the big banks because the government
02:12might actually make them safe.
02:14So while Jerome Powell of the Fed says this, the winner is actually this guy.
02:19I won.
02:20While we're so worried about the markets that we literally only want to put in banks that
02:25the government could bail out, the market actually gets more risky.
02:28Because now, fewer banks hold all the cash.
02:32And JP Morgan is one of the winners.
02:34Do the words too big to fail ring a bell?
02:36I'm too big to fail, Spence.
02:38What's happened?
02:39The money spigot has shut off.
02:41Money then floods to safety.
02:42And more interest rate loan extensions from big banks are mandated.
02:47You might say, that's not that big of a deal.
02:48We still have 60%.
02:50In 2008, the housing market fell 20%.
02:53So 2023 to 2025 could be two times as bad as 2008.
02:59But why is this important?
03:00And how big is this?
03:02Commercial real estate makes startup bank loans, aka SVB, look like a gnat.
03:06Biting at a giant.
03:07Commercial real estate is a $20 trillion sector globally, with more than a trillion dollar
03:12market in the U.S.
03:14We're talking about giant size losses.
03:17But what's that mean for us, the normal people?
03:19Well, right before our eyes, the perfect storm is playing out again.
03:23God damn it.
03:24Huge market, 70% to 80% of commercial real estate loans come from small and medium banks.
03:30The same ones experiencing those runs.
03:33The extra hard problem with that is commercial real estate loans, not liquid, aka easy to sell.
03:38If these loans start getting marked down to 40%, you have a mass liquidation event, or
03:44a bunch of people going bankrupt.
03:46And a bunch of the smart guys all over the world think that's going to happen sooner than
03:50we're ready for it.
03:52So what happens when that fall begins?
03:54There's always somebody holding the bag.
03:56Let's call them the bag man.
03:58So who owns all these loans in commercial real estate?
04:01Two words, shadow banks.
04:03Shadow banks are basically entities that do bank-like activities, aka lending, but they
04:09take place outside of the traditional banking sector.
04:12Shadow banks, many say, are what caused the 2008 crisis.
04:15And the biggest one in the world, BlackRock, is holding most of the commercial debt.
04:20The cracks are beginning to show.
04:21BlackRock and Blackstone just stopped people from taking money out of their commercial loan
04:26funds.
04:27No soup for you.
04:28No more soup for you.
04:29But maybe we don't care about BlackRock or Blackstone going broke.
04:33People gotta have losses if they take risk, right?
04:36But what if I told you they don't own the bag, you do?
04:39You see, we did a bunch of research, and it turns out that we all invest in commercial real
04:43estate, even though we don't realize it.
04:45Where?
04:46Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, pension funds.
04:49And who owns the pension funds and mutual funds?
04:52America.
04:52Look at the top 10 holders of BlackRock funds.
04:55Vanguard?
04:56I actually used to work there.
04:57SSGA?
04:58Used to work there too.
04:59Could be like Taylor Swift.
05:00Am I the problem now?
05:01But who else?
05:02Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley.
05:04Those are all you and me.
05:06So if there is a crisis in the shadow banking system due to commercial real estate loans,
05:10you could be the one left holding the bag.
05:12And this is the house of cards no one tells us about.
05:14There is a thing in finance called systemic risk.
05:17A fancy word meaning a risk so big it could take down the whole system.
05:21Think of it like cancer.
05:23Cancer in your system can kill you.
05:25So you read all the labels to make sure you know what goes into your body.
05:28But in this case, the banks didn't give us a warning label.
05:30So why does this all happen so quickly?
05:33It all started from one thing, the pandemic.
05:36Basically, the pandemic accelerated work from home.
05:38In 2018, less than 6% of people worked remote.
05:42Now, 26% do.
05:44And guess what?
05:4566% of people now work at least some time remote.
05:48What does that mean?
05:49It means vacancy, no tenants, empty properties all around.
05:54Walk through any retail store.
05:56Go to a shopping mall.
05:57Horrifying.
05:58Walk across a warehouse district.
06:00All across the country, you see vacancy sign after vacancy sign after vacancy sign.
06:04Silently, these assets are that canary in the coal mine with every single for rent or sales sign sounding the alarm.
06:11But why don't we just turn all of these into condos and Amazon warehouses?
06:15Because it's expensive as shit.
06:16You've never been inside an office tower and thought, man, it's so cozy.
06:19I wish I could live here.
06:20So real estate has nowhere to go but vacant.
06:23And it's happening fast.
06:25September 15th of 2008.
06:27The day Lehman Brothers fell and the full recession began.
06:30Let's talk about the speed with which we are watching this market deteriorate.
06:33Because we're now down 43%.
06:36What in the world is happening on Wall Street?
06:38I remember at Goldman Sachs watching the TV screen fill with stunned employees carrying cardboard boxes amidst a backdrop of huge towers.
06:47What will be the date of this crisis?
06:49Well, since the Feds hiked interest rates, thus hiking mortgage rates and putting a freeze on the market,
06:56that same thing is happening to commercial real estate.
06:58The entire sector is facing a refinancing wall where their loans of $2.9 trillion are set to come due by 2024 to 2025.
07:07They're not going to be able to pay up.
07:09They only have 60 cents on every dollar.
07:11And so we don't have long.
07:12The time is ticking.
07:14Borrowers are going to go under.
07:15It's just a question of who is the next Lehman Brothers to fall?
07:19What does that mean for me and you?
07:21Watch for the signs.
07:22More failures in shadow banks.
07:24More lockups where people can't get their money out.
07:26More sales of big office buildings for 40% discounts.
07:30We better buckle up because this market is going to make an episode of Succession look boring.
