Could your hard-earned money be doing more for you outside the banking sector? That's what Clem  and Steve dissect in an eye-opening chat about the investability of banks, especially given the recent tremors felt across financial institutions like Silicon Valley Bank and New York Commercial Bank. We're breaking down the recent bank failures that have sent ripples through the investment community, scrutinizing the resilience of regional bank stocks, and questioning the allure of banking investments in a market that's bursting with other opportunities. 

Join us as we peel back the layers of the banking industry's 'black box' with Clem's expert perspective. He brings to the table a wealth of experience and historical data that reveal a stark contrast between the performance of bank ETFs and the S&P 500, prompting us to consider the true value of bank stocks in our portfolios. As we navigate through the complexities of asset liability management, credit quality, and the often opaque inner workings of financial institutions, we unpack the lessons from Silicon Valley Bank's downfall and explore what it really means for the savvy investor seeking resilient and profitable ventures.
