Note that when I talk about derivatives, I talk about interest rates swaps, directly tied into the treasury bubble. When you see that one collapse, the CDS trouble will seem like a walk in the park. Housing will take a dive to 1/3 or 1/4 of current value. Citi will go bankrupt first, bringing down ALL large derivative players around the globe, a cascade of failures. JPM, BAC, Wells will all collapse. Interest rates will soar to hights unimaginable. Spoos will dive to 200. Currencies will go bonkers. That's the event that's next. Timing uncertain. Right now the Fed tried to fix things the usual way, by blowing that bubble right back up, providing tons of liquidity to Citi, BAC, JPM, and WFC, to fix this derivative thing, while undermining US credit rating in the process and creating a setup for the meltdown. -g- |
