Tesla stock just flashed a sell signal that could spark 14% downside, according to Fairlead Strategies' Katie Stockton.

The S&P 500 bank subsector (.SPXBK) is up 4.9% so far in 2023 slightly ahead of the benchmark S&P 500's (.SPX) 3.3% gain. But some investors are circumspect as banks themselves warned during earnings season in January that they expect higher loan losses and weaker demand for borrowing. The rate increases have boosted banks' income, giving them the go-ahead to charge higher interest rates for loans. But now, bank customers with savings accounts are seeking out higher interest rates on deposits, offsetting some lending gains. Barclay's analyst Jason Goldberg sees economic strength as a bigger factor for bank stocks this year than the Fed hikes path.

☆ The CEO of a major student-loan company says Biden's loan forgiveness plan has 'created all types of confusion' for borrowers
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Navient CEO Jack Remondi said Biden's student-loan forgiveness has created "confusion." He said borrowers with FFEL loans still need additional guidance on steps they need to take to get relief. Currently, the Education Department is advising people with FFEL loans to consolidate into direct loans to qualify. "Probably the most challenging thing for us right now is what we don't know," Remondi said. Navient owns some loans within the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, which are privately-held loans that would not automatically qualify for Biden's federal debt relief.

☆ A worker at a student-loan company says the 'lack of guidance' from Biden's Education Department on debt cancellation is hurting borrowers: 'I'm just so worried people are going to be left out'

A student-loan company worker expressed concern with the lack of guidance on Biden's debt relief. "There's a complete lack of guidance from the Education Department on what to advise borrowers," the worker, who requested to remain anonymous but whose identity is known to Insider, said. The worker specifically assists borrowers within the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, who have loans that are commercially-held and not eligible for federal relief. Currently, the Education Department is advising those borrowers to consolidate their loans into direct federal loans so they can qualify for forgiveness. In response to the worker's concerns, an Education Department spokesperson pointed Insider to the FFEL guidance already on its website and did not have any additional details to provide.

Navient CEO Jack Remondi said he won't sue Biden on his student-loan forgiveness plan. However, he did note his company would have standing to bring forth legal action. Remondi addressed those threats and said that Navient would "clearly" have the legal standing to challenge the policy because it owns loans within the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program. But in terms of whether Navient will actually sue, Remondi said: "It won't be us." "It's pretty clear that the precedent here requires someone to have standing in order to sue.
