Understanding Silicon Valley Bank Meltdown and How to Prepare for the Recession

As we navigate the current economic climate, it's becoming increasingly important to stay informed and financially literate.

As you may already know, SVB got frozen recently, and it looks like there will be a tremendous amount of capital lost. This situation is a byproduct of what I call the triangle of doom, which consists of interest rates, a slowing economy, and inflation.

The high inflation rates we've been experiencing have slowed down the economy, and to fight it, the Federal Reserve Bank is working to raise interest rates. However, higher interest rates also slow down the economy, which creates a tricky situation.

What makes this situation even more complicated is that SVB is not the only institution affected by this phenomenon. Many investment institutions, venture capital firms, and angel firms are competing against each other to get the best investments, and valuations have skyrocketed. This is largely due to the easy access to money created by low-interest rates, but the increasing interest rates will change the game.

So, what can we do to prepare for the upcoming recession? Well, it's becoming increasingly important to become financially literate and pay attention to economic indicators. Understanding how inflation, interest rates, and the economy are interrelated will help you navigate the current economic climate.
