In March 2011, the $NVDA CFO at that time, David White, suddenly resigned due to “personal reasons”. The company then took 2 years to find its new CFO, Colette Kress, who has remained in the role ever since. In 2011, David White was 55 years old and had only been…

A MESSAGE FROM #CHINA : DEBT DETOXING IS GOING TO BE LONG, PAINFUL AND NEEDED NOT TO RISK THE ECONOMY DIES OF OVERDOSE AT SOME POINT
A lot of people, including myself, often draw parallels between 2008 and today. However, what should really be compared are the first and second largest economies in the world. Both #China and the #US have fueled enormous real estate bubbles that have since become #stocks market bubbles. The only difference…
DID CREDIT SUISSE BAIL OUT $UBS?
No, I didn’t get the title wrong, I meant to say that. You know why? Because that’s what’s written in $UBS Q4-23 financial statements just released. Let’s go straight into it. Please look at Picture 1 where you can see the amount of Total Assets and Total Liabilities still attached…
EVERGRANDE – GAME OVER (AND THEN CHAOS) OR NOT TOMORROW?
Will the #Evergrande never-ending story finally come to an end tomorrow, or will the #HongKong Judge, Justice Linda Chan, adjourn the hearing for the 8th time in the hope that a miracle suddenly strikes #Evergrande from the skies and fixes the whole mess? If the hearing is adjourned again, not…
WITHOUT THE FED BTFP, BANKS WILL NOW HAVE A HARDER TIME TO “HIDE TILL MATURITY” THEIR LOSSES
I started the year writing about how in 2024 the practice used by banks of hiding their losses in Hold to Maturity books (hence “hide till maturity”) would have come to an end [Post Below]. However, I was wrong there, because I wrote this: “As I explained in a post…
BANK OF AMERICA WENT “CRAZY” IN Q4 (LITERALLY)
While digging into #BAC‘s Q4-23 financial statements, I couldn’t help but wonder if they had lost their minds during the last three months of 2023. No, I am not referring to the “press release” or the “presentation,” which are usually prepared to “feed” the media rather than provide transparency to…
2024 THE YEAR WHEN “HIDE TILL MATURITY” ENDS
During 2023, we have discussed so often how (ridiculously insolvent) banks have made extensive use of “Hold To Maturity” accounting to the point that it is now more appropriate to rename it “Hide Till Maturity” (TwitterX). Dump any asset with a market value implying a steep loss in the HTM…
WHY IS THE FED PREPARING TO BAIL OUT A JAPANESE BANK? BECAUSE OF THE “NORINCHUKIN” DANGER
First of all, who the hell is the latest counterpart added to the #FED Standing Repo Facility: “Norinchukin Bank”? “Officially,” it is a Cooperative Bank owned by Japanese agricultural, fishery, forestry cooperatives in #Japan. Yes, that’s right, an “agricultural” bank from Japan got a seat at the #FED big boys…
YES – THEY ARE IN COMPLETE PANIC
One month ago, I wrote about the “PANIC BEHIND CLOSED DOOR” (TwitterX), and at that time, I literally said: “Imagine what would happen to Joe Biden’s approval rating if the #stocks bubble he inflated to the stratosphere implodes right now. With Jerome out of the game, Joe needed his Janet…
WHICH BANKS ARE AT RISK OF GOING BUST IN A LIQUIDITY CRISIS BECAUSE ALREADY (RIDICULOUSLY) INSOLVENT?
Thank you for waiting, but I assure you what follows isn’t going to disappoint you! Two months ago in “This time is NOT different – Part 2,” I flagged how my analysis at that time flashed (big) red warnings on several US banks (TwitterX). My analysis today will expand on…
