Non performing loans are what % of bank loans today? In 91 lots of banks sold way below book. Looks like banks will take a big hit. Just predicting big crash without backing it up with data is just nonsense blabber. Non performing loans for most banks are below 0.5% of assets, charge offs are a small fraction of that and have been shrinking in many cases. Capital ratios are much better than they were in 1990 and interest rates much lower. The data tells me that a crash is not likely to happen.
