Market has limited bandwidth to deal with the fallout of all this. One subsector at a time. This week the flavor is investment banking. Maybe next week CRE.

I forget - is this a consumer-driven recession, or a finance-driven recession? The banks lent too much money against a real estate bubble, and Wall Street drank their own Koolaid, so it's financial - but now the consumer can't repay the loans, so - ah, nevermind...
