f7ben Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Sounds like European banks have essentially failed and the big US banks wont lend to them in the repo market and that is what is causing the issues in liquidity. The Fed is propping them up by essentially offering them term loans beyond 24hr repo Also it looks like Goldman Sachs has a ton of exposure to these banks and could be on the hook for massive losses if say Deutsche Bank fails. This is a fucking rotten as it gets Privatize gains and socialize losses like always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamgreen02 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 There isn't a lot of good things happening in Europe and the outlook isn't good either. Negative interest rates are disaster for an economy. Disclaimer, I'm long us based equity indexes. And this brings me to where I think the acute problems lie, Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB). Deutsche Bank holds more than $50 trillion in interest-rate derivative swaps. All across Europe banks are struggling with negative rates killing their core business, especially Deutsche.

My largest fund is up 25% with 80% of the portfolio outside the US and Canada. I’ve seen a few good global funds, but international and emerging markets still make me a little nervous. I allocate most people at the bare minimum, so they’ll at least capture some upswing if those economies pick up, and benefit from dollar cost averaging. Brexit will be interesting to watch. Also why I’m a big believer in actively managed funds. A good fund manager is worth their weight in gold. Biggest problem I’m seeing now is the “irrational exhuberance”, we aren’t gonna have these kinds of years forever. I have an 76 year old retired lady who’s a total shrew and a bitch, and was complaining to me about her paltry average 10.9% returns over the past 5 years, only up around 24% this year. Wtf lady you should be thankful. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the fuck cant he just comment on the op even a little. I dont give a good god damn about his portfolio. I posted an article and some thoughts on why the Fed has had to inject 1.5 trillion to prevent an economic collapse and he posts bullshit about his personal finance.

It's like talking to a fucking doll with a pull string on the back I think his point is why get so emotionally invested in shit we have no control over. I read arguments for and against all the time in Barrons or the WSJ, etc..,its over my friggin paygrade. Has alot to do trade, maintaining the stability of it, inflation, etc.. That said, I’m not much more positive than you are in the sense, that I don’t trust any of these globalist fucks and outside influences to fuck with our economy or anyone elses. About all I have to say on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of these banks have major exposure to what amounts to junk bonds. It pisses me off that there is zero oversight and our debt could be propping up banks yet again who made risky decisions. It's too big to fail all over again Edited December 22, 2019 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
