Only 23 trillion? Wasn't it like 60 trillion in 2016 when everyone screamed about the "derivate bomb"? So it's down 50%, that's good, right?......RIGHT?

It happened in 2008 as well.

But mostly because Deutsche bank was in trouble from exposure to the US subprime loans. I guess they felt partially responsible

The post is an obvious fake. I worked for DB in Frankfurt on the trading floor 18month in 2019 and trading etc is all concentrated inside DB Campus building which is 300 meters away from the HQ (the famous two towers). Thus i have no clue what kind of security wagie even works at the HQ. Unless he is working for building security and saw people booking the management floors for tomorrow

Not exactly true. It bans state-aid, but the state can lend them money, just like a lot of banks were saved during 2008/09, they just had to pay the loans back, or convert them to stocks at a favorable rate for the government.

I don't understand that. I mean I understand the message she is sending to her fellow "colleagues" but at the end of the day she ought to advocating financial literacy than outright being poor and relaying on a wage smh

Well, during COViD where these rules went out of the window and Lufthansa was essentially bailed out by German state.

When you have the president of the ECB on Friday essentially saying they will do anything to maintain ‘stability’, don’t blame me for being skeptical that they are not going to be bailed out.

Deutsche Bank is German.

They are under EU financial regulation that bans bailout.

That is stupid in my opinion, but the law is there.

If they try to use state or EU funds to rescue that bank, someone will sue, and it's headed for German constitutional court for the next ten years.

You realize OP sold puts? He’d have shares assigned if they ended up in the money. All IRA’s I know of only allow CSEPs not naked puts. So basically if it delist and Long put holders can’t short this guy keeps all premium…unless he gets the short end of the stick and someone who actually owns shares uses their put.

In terms of direct revenues not much. However, remember every clearing firm can loan out and borrow against customers securities. With 7 trillion in customer assets even an inflow of 100b wouldn’t initially move earnings. The way I look at it is that Schwab just saved a shit ton in marketing and has tons of new clients to sell the rest of their products too. Down the road it should produce gains.

Schwab disclosed that they are currently experiencing MASSIVE new money inflows, in excess of 2B per day of new money... and has been for over a month.

So, all that money running away from small and mid-size banks has to go somewhere. I guess a substantial amount of it is running over to Schwab and investing through them.

How do you think all these new investment customers will affect Schwab's bottom line and earnings in Q1? Anyone else see a huge earnings beat coming?
