FTX customers who lost all their money when the exchange collapsed should blame the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to Mark Cuban. "Of course they chose to litigate to regulate," Cuban said. FTX filed for bankruptcy in November after a bombshell report sparked a run on its deposits, with its collapse wiping out billions of dollars worth of customers' money. "When FTX crashed, no one in FTX Japan lost money," Cuban wrote. "If the USA/SEC had followed their example by setting clear regulations that required the separation of customer and business funds and clear wallet requirements, no one here would have lost money on FTX," he added.

She relocated from the US to Lisbon after giving up the American Dream of a corporate job and house. I'm a financial coach and run my seven-figure business full-time from Portugal, where I moved in May. I paid them one month's rent, too. The average rent in Portugal is around $1,000 and Lisbon is one of the most expensive areas – you could find lower. If you go to a nice restaurant in Lisbon, you're going to be paying 30 to 40 euros a plate.

Crypto is 'radioactive waste' for institutional investors, Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary said. Following the SEC's crackdown on Binance and Coinbase, O'Leary said the industry won't see any growth until things get resolved. Following the back-to-back regulatory crackdowns on Binance and then Coinbase by the SEC this week, O'Leary thinks the crypto industry won't see any capital gains until things get resolved. SEC Chair Gary Gensler is 'razor-clear' on what he wants, which is to make bitcoin a security and regulate where it's traded like on a broker dealer exchange, O'Leary said. You could open the spigots, you could really make this industry take off and own it domestically.

The US economy is currently resilient but will face a mild recession, Bank of America's Michael Gapen said. "Unless bank stress gets worse and a credit crunch is revealed, it's harder to see where that hard landing risk is coming from," he said. A correction of labor-market imbalances is needed to bring inflation back down to the Federal Reserve's 2% target, and that typically looks like a mild recession, Gapen told Yahoo Finance on Tuesday. "The bank stress situation is in stasis – it's not getting a lot better, but it's not getting materially worse. Underneath that, the employment and other spending data show an economy that's generally resilient," he said.

The mania around AI stocks isn't a bubble, Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel told CNBC. While these tech stocks may be overvalued long term, no one can predict where they'll peak, he said. He contrasted current AI boom with the dot-com bubble of the 1990s where there were "tremendous valuations from companies that had no earnings." Siegel added that he thinks the S&P 500 could come out a winner from the banking turmoil that unfolded over the past few months because these mega-cap stocks have credit availability. "The problem is, if the credit conditions slow the whole economy, then there's going to be a slowdown in spending that can affect everybody — even though they have credit availability and liquidity in those stocks," Siegel added.

Mohamed El-Erian warned the Fed could crush the US economy by trying to quickly cut inflation to 2%. While inflation has cooled, it still stood at almost 5% in April. The Federal Reserve could crush the US economy if it fights to bring inflation down quickly to its target of 2%, according to top economist Mohamed El-Erian. He tweeted on Saturday that "getting to 2% quickly would risk unnecessarily crushing the economy" but added the "credibility-damaged Fed" would struggle to adopt an alternative target. He said the Fed "steadfastly pursuing" the target was "inappropriate for a world of deficient aggregate supply."
It's due to Meta's soaring stock, among the top performing in the S&P 500 this year.

The persistent discord between the Fed's policy signals and investors' interest-rate expectations is unusual and unsettling, Mohamed El-Erian said. It could lead to a surge in market volatility or end up eroding the central bank's credibility, the top economist said on Twitter. Money-market prices reflect expectations for lower borrowing costs by year-end, but the Fed hasn't signaled any rate cuts. The Fed has been persistent in its war against inflation, and raised interest rates for the 10th time in a row this month. "It is also unsettling as its resolution will involve either a bout of market volatility or further erosion of Fed credibility," he added.
Americans are feeling less financially secure now compared to the end of last year, according to a recent poll.

Half of Americans are taking steps to cut back on their monthly bills and are dining out less often to save money, per the survey. Higher rates help to curb the pace of price increases by making borrowing more expensive, and encouraging saving over spending. However, they can also sap demand in the economy, and drag down the prices of stocks, houses, and other assets.
The political deadlock over the US debt ceiling poses a 'real risk' to the dollar, according to Goldman Sachs' Beth Hammack. "There is real risk to the US dollar as we leave this in a more protracted state of negotiations," she told Bloomberg TV. The stalemate over the borrowing limit has heightened concerns that the US could end up defaulting on its debt. "And so I think that's really confusing - I think there is real risk to the US dollar as we leave this in a more protracted state of negotiations." Lawmakers have been sparring over the debt limit, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy recently proposing a bill that would lift the borrowing limit by $1.5 trillion while cutting spending by $4.5 trillion.
A group of 17 top financial experts warned of "unquantifiable" consequences to come if the US defaults on its debt. In a letter addressed to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, they made the case for possibly repealing the debt limit altogether. The group warned that the ongoing political deadlock is particularly harmful in the midst of the banking turmoil. The Wall Street executives warned the spat is particularly harmful amid the ongoing turmoil in the banking sector. "With financial markets on edge, continuing to debate raising the debt limit is reckless and irresponsible."

Short sellers haven't profited significantly from Hindenburg Research's recent report against Icahn Enterprises. That's because Wall Street investors remain hesitant to place bets against the billionaire owner Carl Icahn, Bloomberg reported. Short sellers have made just $9 million in mark-to-market profit, per S3 Partners data. Hindenburg also alleged that the company is "using money taken in from new investors to pay out dividends to old investors." The short seller's report on Gautam Adani's company shaved tens of billions off of its market cap and dealt a huge blow to the billionaire's net worth.
