How much longer will banks lie to us?

Prepare yourself… I have a couple of rants to get off my chest today. I'm recording this podcast before today's Fed meeting, where central bankers are expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, then hint at pausing rate hikes. I cut through the B.S. and explain why an end to rate hikes won't save us now. The biggest story in the market right now is the banking crisis. I share some quotes that show how bank CEOs have been lying through their teeth about the state of the banking sector—including JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon. The whole thing reminds me of a scene from The Naked Gun. I break down the sweetheart deal JPMorgan got by taking over First Republic… and pose an important question for all investors to consider about regional banks. While the Fed refuses to admit it, it's bailing the sector out. I rant about why the Fed's actions will lead to a lot more pain… and how banks don't actually give a s*** about their clients.
