Commercial Real Estate loans gone bad has started the dominoes tumbling. Evergrande in China, New York Community Bancorp on the brink, and today, Japan's Aozora bank. I check CNBC's web site. Not a word.
I guess it's not a major story

We are surving on the new wave of liquidity and the new credit cycle. You are too negative as the war credit pump is working smooth, too. Here in Europe really is fiesta time now. Look how the farmers are celebrating...

Party time in Brussels. But the farmers need support now. Next week I'll try to meet some friends in Madrid to go to the big protests there. I need to get a feeling of the general mood.

Ooooh yeah. You know how I knew?
I love Mark Knopfler and I really like his new single. My far younger sister said: Well nice, but it's more for oldsters, isn't it?? No respect for us who hold the line for decades...

they build it to break it for bailouts. they make money on the raw deals, then they buy up the companies they ruin, then they are too big to fail and the govt. gives them more money. pretty cool business model.

On NYCB, they knew convincing them to absorb Signatures CRE assets it was a time bomb. Now, you watch, JPMC will get it all at a discount with government guarantees. They use smaller banks like pawns. I'm sure the NYCB execs got paid, but the customers and shareholders get screwed. I think the term for it is crony capitalism. Long term doesn't matter, its all a house of cards. It just sucks that Black Rock and JPMC get longer runway to stack sats. It's all fun and games until the tractors are blocking your streets.

Amusing how many people clicked in this simply because they will not be told what to do.
