Let’s play a little game.
The game is called “Name That Insolvent
Banking System.”
The way you play the game is by trying to guess which the countries
whose Bank Assets to GDP ratios are in the below chart. There are only
seven countries and I’ll tell you that they’re all
western economies in the
developed world.
If you win this game, you win the knowledge of knowing which
countries’ banking systems are leveraged beyond any credibility. You can
then invest accordingly, sheltering your assets from these banking
system disasters. You can also ignore the tripe being spewed by the
various political leaders and Central Bankers about everything being
great in the global
financial system.
Ready? Let’s play!
As you can see, the seven counties listed here have banking asset to
GDP ratios ranging from 90% to an incredible 400%. Five of the seven
have banking asset to GDP ratios above 250%, which is simply
extraordinary given the implications of this horrific metric.
Having trouble?
OK, I’ll give you a hint, one of these countries is the US. We’re
often cited as the debt nightmare of the world, which makes all other
countries look good in comparison. So which one is the US?
Did you guess number 6?
Wrong!
OK, here’s another hint, the other six countries are all based in EUROPE.
Give up? Here’s the answer:
As you can see, the US’s banking system is in fact dramatically
smaller relative to its GDP than the big players in Europe. As much
grief as I and others have given our financial system about being
overleveraged and filled with toxic debts, the US is NOTHING compared to
Europe, including the allegedly rock solid banking system of Germany.
It’s also worth noting that France, which is considered to one of the
essentially sovereign backstops of the EU is in fact one of the worst
offenders when it comes to having a totally out of control banking
system. Remember this when you hear French politicians talking about the
EU crisis being “over.”
So… the next time you hear someone on the TV talking about great
things in Europe are, remember the above chart and ask yourself… how can
a country be in great shape when it’s banking system is over 200%
larger than its economy? Just what are all these “assets.”
And the multi-trillion Euro question: how much of them are in fact garbage?
So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic
failure, you NEED to do so NOW. We’re literally at most a few months,
and very likely just a few weeks from Europe’s banks imploding,
potentially taking down the financial system with them. Think I’m
joking? The Fed is pumping hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars into EU banks
right now trying to stop this from happening.
