10 Investing Lessons From 2008 That Apply Today + More

What happened this week?

• 10 Investing Lessons From 2008 That Apply Today - “We have been here before. The failure of Silicon Valley Bank on March 10 reminds me of what I experienced firsthand as a bank analyst during the global financial crisis in 2007 and 2008.”
• The Market's Mood Has Improved. Will It Last? - March Madness is an important part of our year. This year, the term has taken on greater meaning given the madness we saw in markets throughout March. Banking issues appeared early in the month and worsened from there. An extreme “risk-off” environment ensued as classic bank runs occurred in the United States and some bank stress appeared in Europe.
• The Good News For Investors? Time Is On Our Side - The drivers of this turbulent market – Federal Reserve (Fed) tightening, inflation, recession worries and geopolitical fears – feel like they will?never stop?and seem to have more staying power than The Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger (who turns 80 in July).
• Fixed-Income Outlook: Getting a Grip in Slippery Markets - March’s sudden bank failures have revived investor fears of another global financial crisis. We don’t think that’s likely, mainly because banks are in much better shape today than in 2008. Thanks to stricter regulations put in place after the last crisis, they have far less debt and far fewer toxic assets on their balance sheets.
