SIVB Financial crumbled due, in part, to its lending to startup companies. When the economy turned for the worse, these startup companies weren't making deposits as often as during the era of 0% interest. Bond prices dropped as the Fed tightened, and so SIVB had to sell its bond assets in order to maintain solvency. All this added up to a bank run at SIVB. A bank run happens when faith in the bank is lost, and clients withdraw their money at alarming rates. When a bank runs happens, the bank often needs a "bailout" of sorts (either from the government or other banks).  The good news is depositors with under $250,000 in the bank should get their balance.

SNOW fell after reporting earnings and some conservative guidance. The stock is currently holding at support. We bought SNOW at $126, and I would love to add more shares. I'm going to wait for now and see whether SNOW heads for $110. CELH dripped after earnings, and I'm adding shares at $82 (just as I did in my personal portfolio). We've been watching CELH for months, and $82 is a price I'm willing to pay. Add CELH 4 shares @ $82 = $336 I'm also adding AMD as I want exposure to the semiconductor sector. AMD is a high-quality company with excellent leadership, and shares are undervalued, in my opinion. Add AMD 10 shares at $80 = $800 I'm also adding one share of Mastercard at $350. Here are the current Model Portfolio holdings. AMD CB CELH CRWD GOOGL MA SNOW WM Have a great night!
