The ECB will not allow a crash. That I can assure you. So please ignore the following Tweet.

Deutsche Bank down 21% in pre-market. It's time to update the Deutsche-Lehman chart. — Morris Cabrioli (@insidegame) June 24, 2016

In support of my comforting viewpoint on what the ECB will or will not allow, I present the following concrete evidence.

Deutsche Bank Weekly Chart

Please don’t worry about any of that, just focus on the bigger picture.

Hmm.

I am not quite sure that is the picture I want to present to support my “don’t worry” case.

I have comforting news somewhere. Oh, here it is. I found it.

Deutsche Bank’s Derivatives Casino

Please consider my April 15 post Investigating Deutsche Bank’s €21 Trillion Derivative Casino in Wake of Admission it Rigged Gold and Silver.

I made a slight error in that article so here is an update.

See!

There’s nothing at all to worry about.

As of its 2015 annual report, Deutsche Bank had a mere €32.87 trillion position in interest rate derivatives and a minuscule €6.3 trillion position in currency derivatives.

What can possibly go wrong with that?
