Yes. Doomsayer is the easiest job there is. No one remembers the hundreds of times you were wrong. Just the one time you were right. This dude, zerohedge, etc have been predicting doom since 2010. How much money would you have left on the table sitting out since then?DerekJohnson said:

There’s plenty of red flags to keep an eye on. A shitty bank cutting an unprofitable product because their liquidity is limited isn’t one -
He might be on to something, but Wells Fargo is restricted by the fed unlike other banks, so it's hard to point to a decision they have made and say this is a sign of things to come in the entire banking industry.
Worth keeping an eye on, but I wouldn't be too hasty in drawing conclusions. -
I had this story a week ago

I remember reading that they closed their student loan business too. While a huge dick move from the POV of consumers, it seems like they’re trying to reduce their risks.
Banks are like cell phone carriers and insurance companies…utter pricks. -
I read somewhere that a higher percentage of homeowners are behind on their mortgage than in 2008. If that’s true, it could get bad.

As of 1st quarter of 2021 delinquency rate was around 6%. It’s lowered to 4.7% as of April 2021.
Also see this chart detailing the delinquency rate for residential single-family homes…looks like a molehill compared to 2008-2009.
