Allerdings könnte 2008 tatsächlich in der 2. Hälfte sehr gut werden. Aber nur unter der Voraussetzung, dass es vorher eine kräftige Korrektur (>20%) gibt.
Ich hoffe, du hast dich dahingehend abgesichert und setzt nicht alles auf eine Bullenkarte. Zur Erinnerung: Seit 6 Monaten (!) warten wir auf die versprochende Rally, aber sie kommt nicht. Die Bären hier im Thread liegen somit seit 1/2 Jahr halbrichtig!
Warum soll die Rally also ausgerechnet jetzt kommen, wo sich die Nachrichtenlage nicht verbessert hat? Weil Weihnachten naht? Vielleicht kommt ja diesmal zur Überraschung vieler Knecht Ruprecht.
Btw: Ich persönlich habe auch nichts dagegen, kurzfristig (wenige Tage) bullish zu handeln und Erholungen mitzunehmen. Ich habe das per Papertrades vor kurzem erfolgreich "geübt" und beabsichtige die reale Umsetzung falls es sich anbietet. Also nix dagegen.

Also läuft zur Zeit der Film: "Gründe für eine Rally verzweifelt gesucht!"
Mal ein Blick auf die Wertpapierkredite (Margin Debt) an der NYSE: Anfang 2000 lagen diese bei 280 Mrd., Ende Juli 2007 bei 380 Mrd. (Quelle: Markt-Daten.de) Der Anstieg zwischen Juli 2006 und Juli 2007 betrug rd. 70 Prozent. Bei Merrill Lynch geht man davon aus, dass die von Privatpersonen und Instis (nicht nur US-) zum Kauf von Wertpapieren und Hebelprodukten im US-Markt verwendeten ausstehenden Kredite aller Art (von Cash-out-Refis bis Devisen-Carry-Trades) um ein Vielfaches höher liegen, vorsichtig geschätzt um das Vierfache, möglicherweise aber auch um das Zehnfache.

Weiß jemand ob die großen Rückversicherer hier in Europa wie MüRü oder SwissRe
auch im Geschäft der Ausfallversicherungen für Credit Default Swaps (CDS) und ähnliche tätig sind?
Frage deshalb weil der Chart von MüRü langsam interessant wird und wenn schon im Finanssektor nen Longversuch dann da wo das Branchen-Risiko am kleinsten ist dachte ich bisher.Andererseits ergibt sich bei einer Geschäftsbeteiligung in CDS-Ausfallversicherungen bei Bruch des Trend enormes Abwärtspotenzial.Wenn also hier jemand fundamentale Infos dazu hat die über Bauchgefühlmeinung hinaus gehen hat sicher keiner was dagegen wenn wir den Thread kurzzeitig etwas zweckentfremden.
This week, a banking friend made a startling confession. In recent weeks he has been furtively unwinding some large investment portfolios linked to subprime securities.
But as he has embarked on this sordid task, he has discovered that the only effective way to get rid of these distressed assets is to avoid putting any tangible price on the trade.Instead, he has resorted to using a tactic more normally associated with third world markets than the supposedly sophisticated arena of high finance: barter.“Barter is the only thing that works right,” he chuckles grimly. “It is like the Dark Ages.”
I daresay this is an extreme example. But it nevertheless reveals a crucial point: namely that while this summer’s credit turmoil is already several months past, parts of the credit world remain plagued by strikingly high levels of fear and mistrust.
Indeed, in some arenas, such as mortgage-linked securities, sentiment now seems to be getting worse, not better. And that raises the prospect that we are now moving into an entire new phase of this year’s credit squeeze.
Take the ABX index, the basket of derivatives linked to subprime securities. As financial tools go, this index is far from perfect, since it is barely two years old, and tends to be thinly traded. But right now it has the unfortunate distinction of being the only tool easily available to measure sentiment in the opaque subprime securities world. And in the past couple of weeks, the message emerging from this measure has started to look utterly dire.
Never mind the fact that the risky tranches of subprime-linked debt (the so-called BBB ABX series) have fallen 80 per cent since the start of the year; in a sense, such declines are only natural for risky assets in a credit storm.
Instead, what is really alarming is that the assets which were supposed to be ultra-safe – namely AAA and AA rated tranches of debt – have collapsed in value by 20 per cent and 50 per cent odd respectively.This is dangerous, given that financial institutions of all stripes have been merrily leveraging up AAA and AA paper in recent years, precisely because it was supposed to be ultra-safe and thus, er, never lose value.
But the trend also has crucial significance for investment banks. Until quite recently, many Wall Street banks tended to value their subprime linked holdings using models, because they (and their auditors) knew it was hard to get prices for these opaque instruments through real market trades. But I am told that this autumn some banks’ auditors have started to crack down on this approach, particularly in the US, owing to the so-called “Enron factor”.
More specifically, the experience of living through the Enron scandals earlier this decade means that the audit industry is now terrified that it could face lawsuits if it is perceived to be too lax towards its clients. So some now appear to be demanding that their banking clients reprice their mortgage assets according to the only visible market tool – namely the ABX. It is thus little wonder that some banks have suddenly been forced to increase their writedowns in recent weeks. Indeed, I would wager that the pernicious combination of ABX and the “Enron factor” is a key reason for the recent shocks emanating from Merrill Lynch.
However, the rub is that while auditors at some Wall Street banks are becoming quasi-evangelical about the need to reprice subprime assets, there are still other, vast swathes of the financial system which have not been touched by the full blast of transparency yet. Moreover, many financiers outside the world of Wall Street banks remain very wary of rewriting their mortgage assets to current ABX price levels, due to a lingering hope that the recent ABX slump will remain temporary.
No wonder that my banking friend is now furtively resorting to barter, to unwind his clients’ investment portfolio. And no wonder that investors are currently so suspicious about the health of financial entities – and so nervous about the potential for secondary shocks. This new wave of fear is unlikely to vanish quickly. Call it, if you like, The 2007 Credit Crunch Story, Part II.
Niemand muss ja eine Bärenkappe aufhaben, aber zumindest jene respektieren, die eine solche auf der Stirn tragen.
Nur weil ich eher bullisch eingestellt bin, fang ich jetzt nicht hier an, über Winnie pooh zu pöbeln in diesem Thread.
Ich lese ihn sehr interessiert, weil man hier immer wieder (als Bulle) darauf hingewiesen wird, wo Gefahren lauren könnten. Und das ist wichtig, um nicht blindlings den Bullen-Lemming zu mimen.
(Ok, ich glaube schon mitgekriegt zu haben, dass du und AL eine persönliche Differenz zu haben scheint. Wäre aber schade, wenn dadurch das Niveau dieses Threads auf Talkforum-Niveau sinken täte. Da wird viel herumgepöbelt. Aber bitte nicht hier.)
Schönes WE

A day after this week’s rate cut, financials endured their worst one-day decline in five years.Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs led further selling in the sector yesterday as investors wait for the banking sector to confirm more writedowns on various mortgage and credit structures as their market values keep falling.
Traders simply do not believe the banks have come clean. Instead, they seem to be saying that the worsening slump in the housing market has eroded the foundations of the US financial-based economy.
Derivatives which track the value of mortgage bonds hit new lows for the year this week. That came as rating agencies completed more than $100bn of downgrades of mortgage securities for October.
Fitch Ratings also stoked broader credit concerns when it said the value of US corporate bonds affected by downgrades rose to the highest quarterly level in nearly two years.
Compounding matters for banks are the growing ranks of other players that are caught in the crossfire of the great credit unwind trade. Bond insurers are also under pressure after releasing stunning writedowns in their latest quarterly earnings. These companies lend their high credit ratings to lower quality borrowers.
This cadre of firms plays a quiet but crucial role in providing guarantees for the municipal bond market – where state and local governments issue debt. About 50 per cent of muni debt is insured: should a large insurer get downgraded, the ensuing fire sale of securities could rapidly engulf this hitherto staid area of finance.
Then there are portfolio investors that may start selling securities before the end of the year if they no longer carry investment grade ratings. At under two months and counting before the time of year when liquidity thins appreciably, the clock is ticking for banks, insurers and leveraged investors.
While it appears that banks have sufficient capital to withstand further losses, the real fear is that the repricing of credit will shrink its availability at a time when the vaunted US consumer faces record energy costs and a cratering housing market.
As the housing bust spreads and intensifies, so the default rate on mortgage bonds will keep rising and move beyond the subprime sector.
In turn, the universe of derivative structures that reference home loans, and which have been scattered throughout the entire financial spectrum, are a potent source of fuel in the event of any fire sale.
The dire outlook for the housing market is difficult to deny. Prices in the 10 major cities that comprise the Case-Shiller index have declined in the past four consecutive months and not one of these cities is witnessing home price appreciation on a year-over-year basis....As bond traders go to work, that leaves the dollar twisting in the wind. And hastens a currency meltdown of the kind that truly keeps policymakers awake at night.
Speculation that Barclays had gone to the Bank of England for short-term funding were wide of the mark, sources said.
The bank also tried to shore up confidence by buying back shares.
Rumours were circulating that Citi may be forced to slash its dividend to meet its capital ratio requirements while others were considering rights issues. Deutsche Bank said Citi may face "greater-than-expected write-downs in collateralised debt obligations and other structured products". The bank's shares slipped 4pc to $37.11.
Meanwhile, fears about European banks are also growing after UBS reported its first loss in years. Merrill Lynch, which itself last week wrote off $7.9bn, said UBS will be forced to make an additional $8bn write-down.
There were also warnings that Belgian-Dutch group Fortis could be vulnerable to a further deterioration in the US housing market and investors expressed frustration that ABN Amro, which was to publish third-quarter figures on Thursday, did not do, saying it would move to the same reporting timetable as new owner Royal Bank of Scotland. RBS is due to report its full-year results on February 28.
One seasoned trader said: "Some of these rumours may be coming from the fact that it has been All Souls' Day this week, a holiday in several countries. But some of them seem real. The problem is, no one really knows." http://www.telegraph.co.uk
Wenn nun ML weitere Megaabschreibungen vornehmen muss wird das mit Sicherheit auch andere Banken betreffen. Alles eine Soße, was die Art ihrer Geschäfte und damit auch Risiken betrifft. Alles andere zu vermuten wäre blauäugig.
Beispiele für deine prognostisch-verzockt kruden Gassenhauer habe ich ja letztens bereits angeführt, wer denen in den vergangenen Monaten/Jahren gefolgt ist, der hat einen Haufen Kohle liegenlassen bzw. verzockt.
Voila!
Libuda-Das endgültige und totale Abkacken der Rohstoffe, muhaha, der Brüller schlechthin…
Libuda-Nicht in die Euro-Bullenfalle laufen, selten so geschmunzelt…
Libuda-Kursverdoppelung bei Internet Capital, ja wann denn jetzt endlich…
Und ab dafür…..
Du hast dich mittels Put bei ihm versichert, am Tag X deine Aktien zu nbesagtem Preis zu verkaufen. Auch wenn die Aktzie dann nur mehr 0 € wert ist.
Wenn allerdintgs eine der insolventen Banken der Emittent war, hast du Pech gehabt. Dann sind deine Scheine wertlos, weil der Emi nicht mehr existiert.
Immer genau den Emi ankucken bevor du einen Schein kaufst.
Es ist schon unglaublich, wie einer allein soviel Mist verbreiten kann und dabei so aggressiv andere aburteilt.
Aber vielleicht lässt ihn AL noch posten, weil er schon zu einem der besten Kontraindikatoren gehört :-)
Magnusfe hat nur noch marktschreierischen Unsinn abgelassen. ;-)
vielleicht etwas seitwärts. aber das wars dann auch. bei 4% offizielle inflation ist das ja auch schlimm genug.
