I Don’t See How Germany Can Contain the Deutsche Bank Collapse
Companies / Financial Crisis 2016 Sep 30, 2016 - 09:43 PM GMTLet’s talk about Deutsche Bank (DB).
Deutsche Bank is the 11th largest bank in the world. It has assets of $1.8 trillion and over ~$60 trillion in derivatives on its books.
From a balance sheet perspective, DB’s balance sheet is 50% the size of Germany’s GDP. By way of comparison, imagine if JP Morgan was a $9 TRILLION bank. That’s effectively DB’s status in Germany.
However, it’s DB’s derivative book that is the real problem as far as the markets are concerned. As I mentioned before, DB has ~$60 trillion in derivatives. And unlike the other derivatives giant of the financial world (JP Morgan with $52 trillion in derivatives), DB is based in Europe.
What are the differences?
Europe is where Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIRP) Brexit and exposure to a banking system that is entirely too laden with debt has proven a disastrous cocktail.
What precisely has hit DB remains to be seen. But something happened in the first two weeks of September that triggered a market meltdown. DB shares have fallen straight down a total of 27% since that time.
Now we are in full-blown panic mode. This bank is too big to bailout and too big to bail-in. Moreover that massive derivatives book connects DB to over 200 financial entities. Unwinding it will be catastrophic.
This could very well lead to a 2008 type Crash. To be blunt, I don’t see how Germany or the ECB can contain it.
Seriously at this point, if you’re not taking out a trial subscription to our Private Wealth Advisory newsletter, I don’t know what else to tell you.
First of all, I’ve lead subscribers to close 112 STRAIGHT WINNING TRADES. This is a record in investing, even greater than our 74 trade winning streak back in 2012.
In September alone we’ve closed WINNERS of 6%, 8%, 11%, 14% and 19%.
And the last time we closed a LOSER was in NOVEMBER 2014.
So… you’re talking about closing nothing but winners for nearly TWO YEARS STRAIGHT, SETTING A RECORD FOR LONGEST WINNING STREAK.
If you don’t believe me, you can take out a trial for 30 daysfor 98 cents.
If you find Private Wealth Advisory is not what you’re looking for, simply email us and you won’t be charged another cent.
However, I have no doubt you, like our other subscribers will stay with us. Most subscribers make enough money on a single one of our trades to cover the cost of an entire YEAR’S subscription (just $199).
Indeed, less than 10% of subscribers choose NOT to stay with us. And the ones that DO cancel do so because they’re simply not active investors and prefer owning a single mutual fund.
I know you’re not that kind of investor. You’re looking for regular market crushing gains and minimal losers to grow your capital like a rocket ship.
To take out a 30 day trial subscription to Private Wealth Advisory for just…. 98 cents.
