B of A’s results showed more of the same – acceleration in credit losses and unsustainable earnings going forward. We’ve covered this substantially in recent week and the slides below speak for themselves so I won’t get into the details here too much.

hey TPC, have you started looking for potential short possibilities? or should one wait a bit more to see if this reversal/correction starts picking up steam

I am still working within the idea that you can’t get confidently short until after the stress test results. There will be too much uncertainty until the results are out. I don’t expect this market to go down in a straight line. Most people are still very bullish. I’m in no rush….I’ll tell you what though – buying some Yen and Vix looks pretty interesting right now….

I might have guessed BAC sitting down -19% today on their “earnings” might have the tide turning.
Not to mention the ZH report today that the stress tests may not if fact show everyone is passing…

I read that earlier. VERY sketchy source. Of course, I’ve been saying that the banks are technically insolvent for almost a year. I didn’t need some right wing nut case website to “leaK” that news.
