Economics & Asset Values

We address all forms of asset values from multiple perspectives. This includes physical assets, stocks, bonds and all forms of digital assets. 

I have extensive successful experience in managing a bank as a CFO in the mid 70s and as a CEO since the mid 80s.  This included learning the economics needed to prosper in a bad economy. I outperformed competitors in every poor economy including the high interest rates in the late 70s and early 80s. During this period the FRB was silent and never gave guidance. Banks like mine needed to track the numbers just like the FRB and form our own conclusions. Rate changes could happen at any time.

The economy today is more comparable to the late 70s and early 80s then the recent great recession of 2008. Inflation, higher interest rates, lower real estate prices and asset prices will continue to deteriorate.

Featured Content November 2022 - Asset Weakness

Gary Lewis Evams The unprecedented COVID economy shutdown, expansive FRB monetary policies and excessive fiscal stimulus will result in the worst economy of my lifetime. Your home, stocks and many assets are going down in value.  Inflation will be worse than many have experienced. Unfortunately, inflation will be with us for longer than most expect.  When we factor in the work from home phenomenon, the result will be high office vacancy rates, lower office values and more bank problems.

The policies described above will lead to stagflation like I saw as a bank CFO in the late 70s and early 80s when Prime reached about 21%.  I am not saying 21% will be the current cycle high, but it could be.

 
The 2023 - 2024 Opportunity

In addition to banking, Fintech (digital finance and technology) have been my life since the early 90s. My focus today is preparing for what I expect to be the worst economy of my life.

I have been a fiduciary for my entire banking career (three banks were family owned) and I have been hands on for all types of complex loan pool purchases and real estate workouts since the late 80s. This is unusual for a bank president but the pools were high risk, very profitable and sold at large discounts. More important, it was an opportunity to train staff. This will benefit loan pricing and sales when needed.


The depth of my skills range from manufacturing, automotive, construction, finance (as a CFO) technology, payments, Fintech and banking. Few can be a qualified receiver for both, a failing construction project and a technology company.

Gary Lewis Evans, Principal of DFIN is always looking for a challenge and is offering problem bank asset management, complex income property loan pool underwriting and managing receiverships as the receiver. This includes bank receiverships or rescues. My broad experience in leadership positions in every bad economic cycle since 1975 is unique in advisors. My due diligence is based upon hands on experience.  I am capable to both advise a bank and provide hands on project leadership or work with regulators on a bank receivership.

For those that are prepared, their is good news outside of the collapsing physical economy. The digital economy is growing. The Metaverse and Digital real estate is an opportunity for those that do their homework. Metaverse real estate is still a newer product that is experiencing wild swings in value, but I expect Metaverse real estate to do well in the long run.  I should mention Crypto Currency, but I have nothing good to say. One day Crypto, stable value currency, will be common and valuable.

DFIN – DFIN premiered in the McGraw-Hill book, The Financial Institutions Internet Sourcebook in January 1997. DFIN has been owned by Gary Lewis Evans and online since 1996. DFIN started with a focus on digital finance and has evolved to include DeFi, digital real estate, and the Metaverse. A common thread is asset values and events that impact the values.

Banking: My banking career began in 1971 and I was an Internet Banking Pioneer in 1994 as President of La Jolla Bank. I was a founder and CEO of BofI, (Bank of Internet) in 2000. The name was changed to AXOS in 2018. AXOS is the most successful and profitable modern digital bank.

Project Management / Consulting - As a long time, hands-on banker that learned the banking fundamentals in the 1970s, I have managed all aspects of a bank since the days when we only had ten key adding machines and minimal computing power. I have been a CEO, CFO, CCO and COO In addition to my operating skills, I have led the design and building of deposit and loan processing and servicing platforms that were powered by staff-built RPA. I have extreme banking knowledge and a history of innovation that will benefit a bank seeking the right path in the transition to the Metaverse. My skills are adaptable to help banks work with FinTech and help FinTech better understand banking issues.

Primary Focus Today - In addition to bank projects and complex loan pool underwriting, I am reviving my receivership, asset management, and controlled bank liquidation skills.  

                                                         See Receivership



Speaking Engagements

As an Internet Banking and Fintech Pioneer I bring a dynamic experienced but fresh approach as a speaker.   I am available to speak at conventions,  industry meetings or to a company's management.  I bring unique hands on experience and insight that bridges old and new banking techniques, retail payments and retail banking models.

My presentation will be designed for the audience.

Non Fungible Digital Asset Overview
1st Time DFIN offered For Sale

Non Fungible physical and digital assets are common and take many forms. Physical forms can range from art to real estate. Digital assets are just that - Digital. The monetary value is a function of supply and demand.

Most physical and digital non fungible assets are of no value and some are very valuable.  The Mona Lisa and the Domain Amazon.com are very valuable.

The US Dollar and Bitcoin are fungible.  One dollar is the same as another and the same can be said about Bitcoin. Their is only 1 DFIN.com or Rodeo Drive in the world.
