Credit Suisse’s HIGH RISK rescue


The banking crisis has finally arrived.

Credit Suisse has finally thrown in the tower. UBS is purchasing the Swiss giant in a desperate attempt to halt the collapse.

It was the Swiss National Bank itself that delivered the blockbuster news.

“UBS today announced the takeover of Credit Suisse,” it said, claiming the transaction would “secure financial stability and protect the Swiss economy.”

Karin Keller-Suttrer, Swiss finance minister, put a good spin on it. “This is a commercial solution and not bailout.” Perhaps, but will it be perceived this way?

UBS chairman Colm Kelleher said that UBS shareholders will benefit from the takeover but “as far as Credit Suisse is concerned, this is an emergency rescue.”

Kelleher called the deal “absolutely essential to the financial structure of Switzerland” and “global finance.”

It’s difficult to avoid the conclusion that this is a desperate attempt to stave off panic before markets open this morning.

The true question is whether the governments of the world are picking winners and losers.

Regional banks are crying out for assistance even as the Great and the Good stretch every resource to secure the most powerful banks.

As we can see with the deal to “save” Credit Suisse, public and quasi-public institutions have to work through private actors to safeguard the world economy…

And the line between the two is growing blurrier all the time.

Keep Moving,


 

The banking system as we know it is in danger of collapsing —
The stage is set for a meltdown capable of making the $2 TRILLION lost in 2008 look like pennies.
The first stage of financial Armageddon is unfolding in front of us…
And if you don’t want to be one of the millions of Americans crushed in the fallout…
You need to act immediately.

COACH’S CORNER

“Get set for a volatile week in the market.”

“As I write this, the S&P futures (/ES) are up slightly, which could mean a higher open tomorrow on SPX.”

“However, VIX futures (UVXY) are also rising, leading into Wednesday’s FOMC rate-hike announcement. Honestly, there’re so many conflicting signals that it’s best to chuck any directional bias.”

“Just trade what the market gives you.”

“Often when sentiment is so mixed, we end up with very little movement at all. It wouldn’t be surprising to see everything stay flat into Wednesday. Be extremely careful and conservative if you’re trading this week.”

“Most of my trading this week will be on the intra-day time frame. I don’t feel comfortable holding trades overnight in an environment like this.”

“For those of you who are looking at longer-term positions, look at the daily chart of VCLT above:”


“This long-term corporate bond ETF has been rising, and I’m getting some buy signals on my indicators. Consider adding this to your watchlist for a bullish trade up to $82.00.”“I won’t be taking a position here, as I want to go into the FOMC meeting flat. Whatever Powell says will move the market, and I don’t want to get caught on the wrong side of it.”

Cheers,
Chris Hood
