I always find it amusing when talking skulls espouse the theory of “foreign decoupling” from the U.S. wreck. Please, for the zillionth time, there is no such thing.
As sure as I’m sitting here, Asian and South American banks will get compressed into small pieces of candy, for the bears, on the news of a widespread/global housing crisis. If you thought the California real estate market was nuts, wait until you see what happens to the speculators in Hong Kong. Those fuckers will be swinging from lamp posts.
Swinging, mind you.
Assholes like Cramer have been sucking the balls off of South American banks. For what?
Those ham hockers know how to run financial institutions like “The Fly” knows how to operate a server farm.
Just in case you thought “foreign assholes” have been laughing at our banking crisis, take a look at their banks:
[[IBN]], [[HDB]], [[STD]], [[MTU]], [[NMR]], [[BBV]], [[RBS]], [[BBD]], [[ITU]], [[UBS]], [[CS]], [[DB]], [[BNS]], [[AIB]], [[SAN]], [[BCH]], [[BMA]], [[BFR]], [[BLX]], [[CIB]], [[BCS]], [[HBC]], [[KB]], [[LYG]], [[MFG]], [[NMR]], [[SHG]], [[WF]], [[UBB]] and [[WBK]].
From my vantage point, thus far, the only bank unscathed is [[BAP]] aka “The Bank of Cocaine.” Obviously, they’re an “ag play.”
