Blind Item Guessing Game: German Bank Edition

Posted by John Carney, Oct 03, 2007, 10:48am

We're just asking, but which German multi-billion dollar SIV is running short of cash? We hear they had a conference call with investors the other day saying that they only had 10 days of liquidity and need a lot more funds in order to avoid defeasance.

eh these are all going to hit their defeasance events -- enforcement events is when noteholders should start worrying

AAA spreads have firmed up - shouldnt be a problem selling those assets for cash

This is a non-issue, I read somewhere that the credit crunch was history.

Glad to see DB writing off $3.1 billion......if they'll write off $2.9 billion more I'd say we're even.

We can easily check if they said anything like that in their conference call ... if you tell us the name. But if you told us the name then you would be jeopardizing your chance to pen an exclusive, earth shattering, breaking, truth-telling, news article.

Hummm.... There are other German banks aside from Douchebank. I have no knowledge about this, but I'm gonna guess WestLB - entirely because I don't like certain people there. Schadenfreude ist gut!

You can take the Germans out of Nazi Germany , but you can't take the Nazis out of the German soul
