air jordan 12 xii retro nubucks unc Will Citigroup Go to the Teens

Mark Hines made a great point on the impact of consumer credit delinquency in another article. I can’t agree more.

What has happened since last August is very typical in the banking industry, and happens about every 5 years on average. aOlernKienOP air jordan 12 xii original og What Does The Groom Wear Each time the headline is totally different. In 1987, it was the aOlernKienOP air jordan 8 aqua retro Best Dentist In New Haven CT Performing Tooth White program trading. In 1991 it was S 1998 belonged to LTCM and Asian crisis, and 2001 was the burst of internet bubble. This crisis revolves around the word “credit” which is the lifeblood of aOlernKienOP air jordan force 5 white orange blue What Types of Shoes Are Waterproof all financial markets and involves all parties and products.

Once credit goes bad, everything goes bad. When blood stops, air jordan 12 xii retro nubucks unc everything dies. aOlernKienOP air jordan 4 iv air force one fusion white grey red Look At Five Fingers Sh Without it, counterparty risk goes to infinity. Without it, there is no liquidity, no market, no pricing, and value air jordan 3 iii retro black cat black dark charcoal black of financial products goes to zero. This is why I agree with George Soros’ statement and assessment that this is the worst financial crisis in 60 years.

It is not like the crises in 1987, 1991 etc. when we heard one shoe dropping and had to wait forever for the other one to drop. Those were more unique, isolated cases, regions and sectors. These days, we are hearing shoes dropping left and right across the air jordan 16 whisper cherrywood board and globally. When it rains, it pours. A month ago, when everyone thought Lehman had dodged the bullet on subprime, who would have heard ARS (auction rate securities)? Then concerning Goldman, aOlernKienOP Air Jordan 9s 10 Tips for a Successful Service Business which had a nice profit last quarter, and was the infallible king of all kings, air jordan xx3 motorsport black royal we are now hearing about VIE (variable interest entities) trouble, with possibly $11B writedowns for Goldman.

Who knows how many more skeletons are in aOlernKienOP air jordan 8 viii retro wmns white varsity red Andy Bloch the closet? What will be the next shoe to drop? By the time we finish this in a few years, it will probably rotate through and cover the whole spectrum of all financial products. Of all products, I still maintain CDS (credit default swap) is the most abusive one, and much bigger trouble is to come, due to layers of layers of unknown counterparty risk, impossible to unwind. As Warren buffet said “large aOlernKienOP air jordan 5 v retro fire red white black fire red What Are the Best Baby W amounts of risk, particularly air jordan 4 iv retro cool grey chrome dark charcoal varsity maize credit risk, have been air jordan 1 retro stealth royal red concentrated in the hands of relatively few derivatives dealers, who in air jordan x 10 retro stealth 2012 addition trade extensively with one another. The trouble of one could quickly infect the others”.

It is a slow moving train wreck. There is no way Citi will make $2.91 this year. Actually, the latest 2008 earnings aOlernKienOP air jordan 8 bugs bunny retro 2013 Why does this happen estimate from Meredith Whitney of Oppenheimer is $0.75, air jordan 2011 white black blue concerning which she even feels “optimistic”.

By the way, aOlernKienOP air jordan 3 true blue 2011 A List of Pros Cons of IVF Whitney’s target for air jordan fusion 5 white red black Citi now is below $16. A few months ago, aOlernKienOP air jordan fusion 5 stealth cactus Build Strength in Your Center With Prepa I heard a few traders betting Citi will eventually go to single digit. That could be stretching it, but I still feel two of My “Ten Predictions for 2008” air jordan 7 filbert natural obsidian white stand a good chance of coming true this year: a credit card delinquency crisis for banks and Citi going to the teens.
