6 U.S. Banks Have 278 TRILLION Dollars Of Exposure To Derivatives 

1 Share
The very same people that caused the last economic crisis have created a 278 TRILLION dollar derivatives time bomb that could go off at any moment.
When this absolutely colossal bubble does implode, we are going to be faced with the worst economic crash in the history of the United States. During the last financial crisis, our politicians promised us that they would make sure that “too big to fail” would never be a problem again.
Instead, as you will see below, those banks have actually gotten far larger since then. So now we really can’t afford for them to fail. The six banks that I am talking about are JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo.
When you add up all of their exposure to derivatives, it comes to a grand total of more than 278 trillion dollars. But when you add up all of the assets of all six banks combined, it only comes to a grand total of about 9.8 trillion dollars. In other words, these “too big to fail” banks have exposure to derivatives that is more than 28 times greater than their total assets. This is complete and utter insanity, and yet nobody seems too alarmed about it. For the moment, those banks are still making lots of money and funding the campaigns of our most prominent politicians. Right now there is no incentive for them to stop their incredibly reckless gambling so they are just going to keep on doing it.
So precisely what are “derivatives”? Well, they can be immensely complicated, but I like to simplify things. On a very basic level, a “derivative” is not an investment in anything. When you buy a stock, you are purchasing an ownership interest in a company. When you buy a bond, you are purchasing the debt of a company. But a derivative is quite different. In essence, most derivatives are simply bets about what will or will not happen in the future. The big banks have transformed Wall Street into the biggest casino in the history of the planet, and when things are running smoothly they usually make a whole lot of money.
But there is a fundamental flaw in the system, and I described this in a previous article
The big banks use very sophisticated algorithms that are supposed to help them be on the winning side of these bets the vast majority of the time, but these algorithms are not perfect. The reason these algorithms are not perfect is because they are based on assumptions, and those assumptions come from people. They might be really smart people, but they are still just people.
Today, the “too big to fail” banks are being even more reckless than they were just prior to the financial crash of 2008.
As long as they keep winning, everyone is going to be okay. But when the time comes that their bets start going against them, it is going to be a nightmare for all of us. Our entire economic system is based on the flow of credit, and those banks are at the very heart of that system.
In fact, the five largest banks account for approximately 42 percent of all loans in the United States, and the six largest banks account for approximately 67 percent of all assets in our financial system.
So that is why they are called “too big to fail”. We simply cannot afford for them to go out of business.
As I mentioned above, our politicians promised that something would be done about this. But instead, the four largest banks in the country have gotten nearly 40 percent larger since the last time around. The following numbers come from an article in the Los Angeles Times
Just before the financial crisis hit, Wells Fargo & Co. had $609 billion in assets. Now it has $1.4 trillion. Bank of America Corp. had $1.7 trillion in assets. That’s up to $2.1 trillion.
And the assets of JPMorgan Chase & Co., the nation’s biggest bank, have ballooned to $2.4 trillion from $1.8 trillion.
During this same time period, 1,400 smaller banks have completely disappeared from the banking industry.
So our economic system is now more dependent on the “too big to fail” banks than ever.
To illustrate how reckless the “too big to fail” banks have become, I want to share with you some brand new numbers which come directly from the OCC’s most recent quarterly report (see Table 2)
JPMorgan Chase
Total Assets: $2,573,126,000,000 (about 2.6 trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $63,600,246,000,000 (more than 63 trillion dollars)
Citibank
Total Assets: $1,842,530,000,000 (more than 1.8 trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $59,951,603,000,000 (more than 59 trillion dollars)
Goldman Sachs
Total Assets: $856,301,000,000 (less than a trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $57,312,558,000,000 (more than 57 trillion dollars)
Bank Of America
Total Assets: $2,106,796,000,000 (a little bit more than 2.1 trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $54,224,084,000,000 (more than 54 trillion dollars)
Morgan Stanley
Total Assets: $801,382,000,000 (less than a trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $38,546,879,000,000 (more than 38 trillion dollars)
Wells Fargo
Total Assets: $1,687,155,000,000 (about 1.7 trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $5,302,422,000,000 (more than 5 trillion dollars)
Compared to the rest of them, Wells Fargo looks extremely prudent and rational.
But of course that is not true at all. Wells Fargo is being very reckless, but the others are being so reckless that it makes everyone else pale in comparison.
And these banks are not exactly in good shape for the next financial crisis that is rapidly approaching. The following is an excerpt from a recent Business Insider article
The New York Times isn’t so sure about the results from the Federal Reserve’s latest round of stress tests.
In an editorial published over the weekend, The Times cites data from Thomas Hoenig, vice chairman of the FDIC, who, in contrast to the Federal Reserve, found that capital ratios at the eight largest banks in the US averaged 4.97% at the end of 2014, far lower than the 12.9% found by the Fed’s stress test.
That doesn’t sound good.
So what is up with the discrepancy in the numbers? The New York Times explains…
The discrepancy is due mainly to differing views of the risk posed by the banks’ vast holdings of derivative contracts used for hedging and speculation. The Fed, in keeping with American accounting rules and central bank accords, assumes that gains and losses onderivatives generally net out. As a result, most derivatives do not show up as assets on banks’ balance sheets, an omission that bolsters the ratio of capital to assets.
Mr. Hoenig uses stricter international accounting rules to value the derivatives. Those rules do not assume that gains and losses reliably net out. As a result, large derivative holdings are shown as assets on the balance sheet, an addition that reduces the ratio of capital to assets to the low levels reported in Mr. Hoenig’s analysis.
Derivatives, eh?
Very interesting.
And you know what?
The guys running these big banks can see what is coming.
Just consider the words that JPMorgan Chase chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon wrote to his shareholders not too long ago
Some things never change — there will be another crisis, and its impact will be felt by the financial market.
The trigger to the next crisis will not be the same as the trigger to the last one – but there will be another crisis. Triggering events could be geopolitical (the 1973 Middle East crisis), a recession where the Fed rapidly increases interest rates (the 1980-1982 recession), a commodities price collapse (oil in the late 1980s), the commercial real estate crisis (in the early 1990s), the Asian crisis (in 1997), so-called “bubbles” (the 2000 Internet bubble and the 2008 mortgage/housing bubble), etc. While the past crises had different roots (you could spend a lot of time arguing the degree to which geopolitical, economic or purely financial factors caused each crisis), they generally had a strong effect across the financial markets
In the same letter, Dimon mentioned “derivatives moved by enormous players and rapid computerized trades” as part of the reason why our system is so vulnerable to another crisis.
If this is what he truly believes, why is his firm being so incredibly reckless?
Perhaps someone should ask him that.
Interestingly, Dimon also discussed the possibility of a Greek exit from the eurozone
“We must be prepared for a potential exit,” J. P. Morgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said. in his annual letter to shareholders. “We continually stress test our company for possible repercussions resulting from such an event.”
This is something that I have been warning about for a long time.
And of course Dimon is not the only prominent banker warning of big problems ahead. German banking giant Deutsche Bank is also sounding the alarm
With a U.S. profit recession expected in the first half of 2015 and investors unlikely to pay up for stocks, the risk of a stock market drop of 5% to 10% is rising, Deutsche Bank says.
That’s the warning Deutsche Bank market strategist David Bianco zapped out to clients today before the opening bell on Wall Street.
Bianco expects earnings for the broad Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index to contract in the first half of 2015 — the first time that’s happened since 2009 during the financial crisis. And the combination of soft earnings and his belief that investors won’t pay top dollar for stocks in a market that is already trading at above-average valuations is a recipe for a short-term pullback on Wall Street.
The truth is that we are in the midst of a historic stock market bubble, and we are witnessing all sorts of patterns in the financial markets which also emerged back in 2008 right before the financial crash in the fall of that year.
When some of the most prominent bankers at some of the biggest banks on the entire planet start issuing ominous warnings, that is a clear sign that time is running out. The period of relative stability that we have been enjoying has been fun, and hopefully it will last just a little while longer. But at some point it will end, and then the pain will begin.

US is Losing Its Status of World Power: German Media

1 Share
The US is losing its status of world power, as the country has lately not been able to enforce its geopolitical interests in several regions and has had to retreat, according to German Media.
The descent of the United States as a world power started in Syria, Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten reported.
Out of frustration over the forced retreat in Syria, the driving forces behind the US government sought to lay the blame for the debacle in Syria on Russia. The US could not get over the fact that exactly Vladimir Putin played the role of a reasonable actor in the Middle East and at the same time was able to protect Russia’s interests.
This fact was frustrating for the US, which had always viewed such issues as military dominance and moral superiority as its domain.
The new ‘Cold War’ against Russia is not a self-perpetuating issue for Americans, the media source wrote. Although it was possible to persuade the EU to impose sanctions against Russia, the alliance of European countries is far from united.
The Baltic States and Poland support the hard policy towards their neighbor. But many other EU governments oppose the idea of the continued confrontation with Russia. The sanctions have negative impact on EU countries as well. Among these countries are Italy, Greece, Spain, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary, who have always had close and beneficial economic ties with Russia.
However, the worst defeat of the US has been the one with China, when Beijing launched the idea of setting up a new development bank (AIIB), the article said. Even Australia and South Korea did not much care about the warnings and provocations of the US government, showing their interest and expressing their approval for the project.
However, according to Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten, the US is losing its status as a world power not only because of its failure in the foreign policy. Not less important is the fact that government has failed to lessen the gap between rich and poor and abandoned its own moral standards.

Marco Rubio wants to be identifiable without having a distinct identity 

1 Share
The newest candidate for the Republican nomination is totally different from all the old white guys in politics, except in the ways he’s exactly the same
It’s impossible to settle on how to sell Marco Rubio, the “on the other hand...” candidate whose every strength has some immediate counterweight. He’s telegenic until he stumbles. He’s passionate until you’ve heard the delivery more than a few times, and then it sounds put-on. He’s young, but he has the same “new” ideas as the old guys in the race. Even his ethnicity takes away as much as it adds: he’s the Latino candidate so many Latinos can (and likely will) vote against.
Still, in a speech on Monday at Miami’s Freedom Tower – an Ellis Island for Cuban-Americans, with symbolism no less forced than Jesus Avenger Ted Cruz’s announcement at Liberty University, orRand Paul’s speech at a hotel named “Galt” – he announced the official end to the polite fiction that’s endured since he delivered his State of the Union response in 2013: he is running for president. It was hard not to have mixed feelings.
[accept] the mantle of global leadership, by abandoning this administration’s dangerous concessions to Iran, and its hostility to Israel; by reversing the hollowing out of our military; by giving our men and women in uniform the resources, care and gratitude they deserve; by no longer being passive in the face of Chinese and Russian aggression; and by ending the near total disregard for the erosion of democracy and human rights around the world

Putin Emergence As “Last Hope For World” Shocks West

1 Share
The Presidential Office (PO) in the Kremlin today is reporting that President Putin has “shocked” the capitols of the West, and their propaganda media organs, by his emerging as the top vote getter in a global poll conducted by Time Magazine as to whom the most popular and beloved person in the world is.
The RT News Service in their reporting about this unprecedented failure of the massive propaganda efforts to demonize Russia and President Putin by Western governments and their media stooges further stated:
“Putin – the only world leader to rank in the top 10 – grabbed the global spotlight from the leading divas of pop music: Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Taylor Swift (2.6 percent, 1.9 percent and 1.8 percent of the votes, respectively).
Meanwhile, aside from Putin, the only non-celebrities to appear in the top 10 were the Dalai Lama (1.7 percent), Pakistani female activist Malala Yousafzai (1.6 percent) and Pope Francis (1.5 percent).
President Barack Obama narrowly missed the top 10 with 1.4 percent of the votes, while First Lady Michele Obama attracted 1.2 percent. Putin’s victory appears all the more incredible when you realize that more than half the votes — 57.38 percent — were cast inside the United States.”
Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov in publically commenting on this historic affirmation of President Putin’s global efforts for peace also stated: “The fact that the president is one of the most popular, well-known and respected politicians in the world is obvious. This leadership has been recorded by a number of media outlets — this is also an obvious fact.”
Even more than his global popularity though, this report continues, is the devotion shown to President Putin by the citizens of the Motherland, who even while enduring the illegal and unjust sanctions put upon the Federation by the West, back him by an 86% margin during this historic standoff with the West for his advocating of peace, instead of war…and as, perhaps, best said in his own words: “Sometimes it is necessary to be lonely in order to prove that you are right.”
And to how right President Putin has been in advocating global peace, this report notes, the United States and its Western allies, by contrast, have over the past 14 years initiated failed wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Africa, Ukraine, and now Yemen, endangering the lives of over 500 million innocent human beings…and which up to 2011 when they stopped counting, hadcost nearly 250,000 lives and $4 trillion.
At the exact same time that President Putin has sought to stop the West’s warmongering, this report adds, the US and EU have continued their unprecedented buildup of massive military forces all around the Federations borders, while at the same time comically accusing him of wanting to recreate the former Soviet Union… a situation made even more laughable when viewed in the context of Putin’s own words: “Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain.”
But not to President Putin’s “brain” have the Western power elites focused their attention upon, this report points out, put towards their own people whom they’ve really believed their propaganda was having an effect upon…but which this global Time Magazine poll clearly shows otherwise.
And to the greatest effect President Putin has had, and as the world looks to him now as their last hope of peace, this report concludes, was his showing to the entire planet the hypocrisy of the United States this past November (2014) when after the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee passed the Federations proposed resolution condemning attempts to glorify Nazism ideology and denial of German Nazi war crimes… the US, Canada and Ukraine became the only countries in the world to vote against it.

Pentagon Slams Russian Intercept of US Spy Plane

1 Share
The Pentagon is protesting the Russian intercept of one of its reconnaissance planes flying in international airspace over the Baltic Sea, calling it "unsafe" and "an example of sloppy airmanship." Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steve Warren said Monday the incident occurred last Tuesday, when a U.S. RC-135U plane was flying north of Poland and was approached from the rear by a Russian SU-27 fighter flying at a high rate of speed. He said the Russian plane crossed in front of the American jet and tilted to show off its weapons. Warren said it was "not certain why this (Russian) pilot was such a sloppy aviator" and that it "could be that he wasn't very well trained." He said it was unacceptable for the Russian aviator to "flagrantly disregard international standards of safety and professionalism." Moscow has denied that its pilot did anything wrong.

Pakistan Treads Lightly Between Iran, Saudi Arabia

1 Share
Pakistan’s prime minister sought to reassure Saudi Arabia and its Arab coalition in Yemen that his country “does not abandon friends and strategic partners, especially at a time when their security is under threat.” Nawaz Sharif’s assurance came Monday after a flurry of statements from officials in Arab countries expressing their disappointment at Pakistan refusing to join their coalition. Saudi Arabia had requested Pakistan for ground troops along with naval vessels and aircraft. Pakistan’s parliament, after a five-day debate, passed a unanimous resolution last Friday that the country would defend Saudi Arabia’s “territorial integrity” and the Muslim “holy places” of Mecca and Medina if they came under threat, but would otherwise “play a mediating role and not get involved in the fighting in Yemen.” Several Arab leaders slammed the resolution. Vehement criticism Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Jarwan, speaker of the Arab Parliament, which consists of members of the Arab League, expressed his dissatisfaction, according to WAM, the official news agency of the United Arab Emirates. ''The Arab and Muslim people were shocked and disappointed by the Pakistani Parliament decision,'' the agency quoted him as saying. The minister of state for foreign affairs in the United Arab Emirates, Anwar Mohammad Gargash, sent a series of tweets last week criticizing both Pakistan and Turkey for their “vague and contradictory” positions on Yemen. He also warned Pakistan of a “heavy price” in his tweets and implied Pakistan was siding with Tehran rather than its Arab allies. Seemingly in an effort to pacify his country’s critics in the Arab world, Prime Minister Sharif said “their disappointment was based on an apparent misinterpretation of Parliament’s Resolution.” He also called Saudi Arabia “one of our most important strategic allies” and expressed “firm assurance to our Saudi brothers that we shall stand shoulder to shoulder with them.” GCC solidarity Sharif’s statement, while mostly falling within the framework of the parliamentary resolution, adds a couple of new elements. He mentioned solidarity with the GCC states as opposed to only Saudi Arabia. He also expressed support for the “restoration of President Hadi’s government” and has urged Iran to use its “influence to bring the Houthis to the negotiating table.” This brings Pakistan’s position on Yemen in line with the Saudi position except for the military involvement, according to Dr. Hasan Askari Rizvi, an independent analysts. But he called this statement just as ambiguous as the original resolution on the key issue of Pakistan’s military involvement. Several analysts appeared to be grappling with what it meant to “defend Saudi territorial integrity” and whether it included sending troops at some point. Dr. Rasool Baksh Rais, a professor of political science at the Lahore University of Management Sciences, thought the ambiguity was deliberate. Prime Minister Sharif used the parliament as a “smokescreen,” according to Rais, to gain time, hoping that diplomacy would work and either Iran would persuade Houthis to come to the negotiation table or Saudi Arabia would reverse Houthi gains and reinstall their guy in the presidency. “Everybody knew that if he took the issue to the parliament that means he is not taking a decision,” said Rais. “I don’t think that this resolution is binding on him.” He is constitutionally “free and empowered” to make foreign policy and send forces if he so wished, he added.    Rais also said the government satisfied the opposition by not sending its troops immediately and in return received a resolution vague enough to allow it to maneuver and adjust its policy according to its diplomatic needs. It is not easy for Pakistan, and particularly the current administration, to say no to Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies. The Saudi royal family saved Prime Minister Sharif and his family after a 1999 military coup by then army chief General Pervez Musharraf landed him in jail. Pakistan also has strong economic relations with the region. Several million Pakistanis work in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and send back billions of dollars in remittances every year to shore up Pakistan’s frail economy. Saudi Arabia also has helped Pakistan financially in times of need. A “gift” of $1.5 billion last year was crucial in stabilizing the dwindling foreign exchange reserves of the South Asian country. It is also a source for most of Pakistan’s oil imports. Neighbor relations On the flip side of things, Pakistan shares a long restive border with Iran. Iran blamed “Pakistan-based” elements for killing eight border security guards shortly before Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif traveled to Pakistan earlier this month. The majority Sunni country also has a Shiite population estimated at 15 percent to 20 percent of the total population and cannot afford sectarian tensions while it is trying to bring terrorism under control. Islamabad also is looking forward to shore up its economic and trade relations with Iran, especially a gas pipeline that can help with Pakistan's severe energy shortage if Iran manages to sign a comprehensive nuclear agreement and sanctions against it are lifted. The Wall Street Journal has reported Chinese President Xi Jinping will sign a deal with Pakistan when he visits the country later this month to build its side of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline. Iran reportedly has completed most of the pipeline on its territory. According to Rais, “This is the severest of the tests Pakistan faces in terms of its Middle East policy, trying to balance our relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia.”
