Study the vast and Massive interconnectedness of DB with all of the Large global banks and remember that Credit Suisse has problems as does GS ,WFC (which failed the recent US governemnt living will test) JPM
and of course, the Chinese Banking and Supremely Massive shadow banking system which teeters back and forth in a deflationary downdraft.

and to end on an upbeat note right now with our abdundant liquidity the near term view for US stocks and financial assets is constructive with a real chance for a rush of money on the side to create a buying panic and higher stock prices and an uptick in the IPO and M and A areas.
we'll continue to monitor the market as it goes through it's never ending cyclical swings between Fear and Greed.

see how DB is making new all time lows very ominous.... as are many other major European banks.
