Is Deutsche Bank the next Lehman and would it end EU?

  1. The current stock price of Deutsche is only around 10% of its peak time. It looks like it could be a crisis big enough that even Germany government doesn't have the money to save it. UK and Germany were like the only two main power to save the others in EU, without both UK and Germany, EU may breaks and it would be a crisis much bigger than 2008.....

    When the time for massive EU bailouts comes, I don't have a lot of confidence that the EU stays together.

    The housing market collapse was one of the reasons why I decided to only trade short-term. Too much uncertainty these days and economies are more and more global and intertwined.

    it is not god given that any bank is too large to fail. instead of following the failed socialist US bail out policy(yet to be fully recognized), of too large to fail, perhaps Germany will split up Deutsche Bank into pieces. they will then sell off the pieces to private interests at deservedly low prices. current shareholders will lose most of their investment and bondholders will receive a haircut. that would be a capitalist solution to the crisis.

    life goes on.

  6. It is listed in both German and US stock exchanges, I don't know how complicated would it be. Germany is not US, it may not be able to solve the problem by just printing money.
     
  7. DB is not the immediate problem, especially since it's a German bank. There's something a lot closer to home, i.e. the Italian banks, which has potential to really screw up the EU.
     
  8. German is the only real power left in EU, if German has serious problem then EU has no money or power to save others in EU
     
  9. Germany has no problems...
