    Hi @fundalarm
    Thank you. Am aware of ongoing problems with Deutsche bank; and more too now with Commerzbank, shutting down investment banking and apparent staff reductions.
    Apparently, an overall uneasiness in markets with too much everywhere. I was surprised to see some bonds move lower though.
    Take care of you and yours,

  • We've been skating on thin ice for a while now. So, any reason will do.
  • Hey, Hi @Ted
    I was probably traveling back outside when you posted. The post times are close together.
    Stay dry there.

    Prior warning have been given, by the IMF and by the US Treasury's Office of Financial Research. Fed regulators.... have done nothing!
    In June of this year, the Federal Reserve said that the U.S. unit of Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bank Trust Corp., had failed its stress test. The Fed cited “material unresolved supervisory issues that critically undermine its capital planning process” as one of the reasons for the failed grade.

    BAILOUT (already baked into global elite's cake). Privatize the profits, socialize the losses .... same as it ever was. But it's important to keep things in context:)

  • Hi @heezsafe
    Thank you for the followup.
    So........what is the deal (I understand the request) with the U.S. Justice department and the $14 billion charge against Deutsche Bank? 'Course, I will not assume that our Justice dept. has any knowledge of Fed. writings or communicates with the Fed.Res. folks.
    The whole thing is ripe for an excellent screenwriter to move the scenario into movie land.

    So, tonight's summary would be: It's 3a.m. in Germany, hedge funds are pulling some money, the U.S. justice department wants some cash flow towards New York, Merkel election forthcoming, D. Bank may be low on poker chips, Mr. Draghi is apparently silent (well, I have not checked) and I need to get back to the ex-IMF head, Mr. Rato as to any status change. Mr. Stumpf can wait, and that line is too long for me at this time.
    Take care,

  • Look like 'too big to fail' will come true again, if the German Gov't steps in. But if dominoes begin to fall it could get ugly.
