A large US bank will collapse within few months

Quote from ByLoSellHi:

I was remiss to not even ask by what criteria 'a large U.S. bank' is defined.

exactly. there are so many wooley statements. its clear to me the whole story is based on selling fear. there are no factual, referenceable statements or evidence in the story. just conjecture.

but, id assume they want to imply a tier 1: db, gs, ms, ml, citi, ubs, leh,...?

its just all so vague.......

...zzzz...
 
interesting to remember the banks also own the media companies who pump this.

they know such stories will force everyone to panic as if there is a recesion. if we behave like were in a recesion (economically), we will be.

its just part of the business cycle of up and down/ growth & contraction that they control via interest rates etc.

I agree. I'm not too sure either, but have some "friends" at MER who say things aren't good at all there. When I asked about a buy on MER, they said stay far, far away... That was in July. Now it's August and they're saying run away... (Two of the four I am friends with are leaving to go Independent. I tried to tell them several years ago that Independent vs. MER is two different Worlds, but they didn't listen...)

What's your call on this? Is it CDS? I'm thinking bigger like Wachovia (screw-over-ya), Citigroup (screw-thy investor-group) or Merrill Lynch (Merrill-we will LYNCH and screw your ass-pierce and Fiesner if you TRUSTED us, because we employ lawyers that will bill more than your lawyer, causing you the investor to settle for pennies on the dollar...) Did I say I despise Merrill? LOL!!!!

I really don't care who's right. I just want in on the action before hand. Again, I'm biased against MER and have made good money being so recently. LOL!!! Good money!!!!!!!!!! I know that breaks every emotional rule, but I hate those bastardos!:mad: :D and am loving the $$$$ they have put in my account since they are getting what they have sewn!:D

So let me see. Your short MER and your spreading rumours about what bad shape they're in. You do realise that if they fail, the SEC is going to hold you personally responsible. :eek:
 
LEH and MER have ugly balance sheets, but as another poster said, they are brokers and not banks.

In terms of the bigger banks, my thoughts are that WM is by far the best candidate for failure, followed by WB.

JPM and BAC and C are too big to fail. JPM and BAC should be OK, but I am not to sure about C.

That could happen.

You may be onto something with WM.

I keep wondering if this "whopper" of a bank might be Citigroup...

naa.

i think it will be BANK OF AMERICA.

nothing else could cause such emotional/nationalistic behaviour.

usa is loaned up to the chin with heavy boots - in the lake thanks to its war debt on the made up 'axis of evil'. no money left and little support. it has no money. usa is sub prime baby!

threats to russia?

with what?

economic sanctions? - naa they have too much energy to sell.

the troops in iraq????
 
There is no way in hell the federal reserve will let BAC fail. Just my worthless opinion, of course.

Blackbison should be consulted for the facts, as he knows all.

the second thing is an article on MSNBC about the taleover of another bank

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26354613

this article brings up questions like;

does the FDIC have a responsibility to warn depositors (bank creditors) of the impending collapse or insolvency?

how do those depositors (bank creditors) not covered by FDIC insurance get their money if ever?
