The Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen, has ruled out any bailout for Silicon Valley Bank, stating that the government will not repeat the mistakes it made during the 2008 financial crisis.

“We’re not going to do that again,” Yellen said in a press conference on Tuesday. “I believe that we have tools to prevent systemic risk from these institutions. And it’s important that we use those tools.”

Her comments came in response to a question about whether the Fed would bail out Silicon Valley Bank, which has been struggling with mounting losses in recent months. The bank, which is based in Santa Clara, California, specializes in lending to start-ups and technology companies.

Yellen’s statement was a clear message to the financial industry that the government is not going to backstop risky investments or bail out firms that have taken excessive risks.

During the 2008 financial crisis, the government bailed out a number of large banks and financial institutions that had made risky bets on subprime mortgages. Critics argued that this rescue effort sent a message that these institutions were “too big to fail,” leading to even riskier behavior in the future.

Yellen’s comments reflect a growing concern among policymakers that some trends in the technology industry are reminiscent of the subprime mortgage crisis. The tech sector has seen a wave of overvaluation and overinvestment in recent years, with investors pouring billions of dollars into unprofitable start-ups.

Many economists and analysts have warned that the tech bubble could burst, causing widespread damage to the economy. A bailout for Silicon Valley Bank would only fuel these concerns and reinforce the belief that the government will always be there to rescue failing companies.

Yellen’s statement is a clear signal that the government is not going to repeat the mistakes of the past. While it may be tough for Silicon Valley Bank and other struggling firms, it’s ultimately a positive move for the stability of the financial system and the economy as a whole.

    ANYTHING above that of the FDIC insurance is a BAILOUT. She and Biden should be in a nursing home NOT in charge. Barney FRANK'S bank FAILED. Those depositors are their donor class.

    Modern capitalism only works correctly with cheap energy prices and access to raw materials globally. Here in the US, consumers are getting hammered with energy price increases and the only way to get inflation under control is to get consumers to stop spending and raising interest rates is specifically designed to do just that. What that means is that a large chunk of people is going to be pushed out of participating in capitalism until interest rates are low enough to stabilize the financial system. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $138k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market

  11. Darnell Capriccioso

    Bad start to the year with these banks collapsing, META down 40k, ALLP down 35k, Draft Kings down 6k, NIO down 15K, ABML down 8k, and my wife doesn’t know. I'm just hanging on to Jim Cramer's words about opportunities in volatile times so perhaps, I either wait for a recovery or pick profitable investments to substitute for my loss.

    "The insurance fund for deposits is funded by fees on banks?" Liquidity of banks is 10 percent and liquidity means debts you can sell within 30 days. Not gold bars or silver sterling.

  13. Alfred

    SHE BAILED OUT SVB! How is this not a bailout? Owners got to sell off their stock before the crash! Management got big bonuses!

  14. Scott

    Since Yellen can't understand numbers, maybe she should go back and focus on her shapes and colors…naptime and a juice box..

  15. Barracuda Hunter

    Another useless Biden administration official. Get rid of the incompetent old bird.

  19. Selin Cacao

    These government so called officials need to be fired and we need to go back to gold which is real money not this fiat currency!

  20. VPierson

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom failed to publicly disclose his SVB ties(his 3 wineries and wife's charity) while lobbying for a bailout.

  21. Jojo Papa

    That means she is going to bail out the RICH TECH EXECS! They are rich and she is one of them! The insurance is 250k. She will give them billions of our money to the RICH! We said that and she did!

  22. hello gorgeous

    Awesome video! I was blown away by the recent economic data! There seems to be uncertainty over inflation and the U.S. stock market is at a crucial crossroads. Despite growing concerns among investors, the economy shows signs of resilience which could help Bitcoin remain stable. Interestingly, the crypto market, which is usually correlated with the U.S. stock market, has been moving in the opposite direction. BTC and the Nasdaq are currently bouncing back. However, with the sentiment changing fast now is the perfect time to get into the crypto market. Marnell English’s excellent trading strategy has helped me amass 32 btc in the three weeks that I've been trading. In this field, she is a true visionary.
