Banks are dying. And this not only has big implications for your savings but also for your business and investment potential… because there are tremendous opportunities for anyone who focuses their capital and talents ahead of these big-picture trends.
The banking world is DOOMED! There are many people out there who are working on payment systems and delivery systems that could turn the banking world on its head much like UBER have done to taxis, Expedia has done to travel and AIRBNB/BOOKING.com have done to hotels.
Banking in its current form is not capitalism. It is a fraud and crony capitalism kept afloat by ever-more desperate government interventions. It should be dismantled. Under a system of 100 percent reserves, loan banks (100 percent equity-financed investment trusts) would be like any other business and would not need any more regulation than that of the makers of potato chips.

By creating a BAD BANK, DEUTSCHE BANK is preparing for the worst & HSBC sits in DEEP SHIT. Contrary to what happened in the 1930s', This time JPMORGAN may not survive the coming financial collapse. Negative Interest Rates will destroy Banks, Insurance cos, and Pension Funds.

Our Opinion:

• There are NO WAY authorities will risk the bankruptcy of any bank. They will bail them out ALL and this will continue until Hyperinflation hits
• In Europe the same process is happening...but there are fewer banks and it's done in a more subtle way. Spain is a good example.
• THE LONG TERM trend doesn't look good. Why take the risk to invest in Financials???? There are far better and SAFER investment instruments.
• There is NO WAY you can trust the financials as they are real masters in cheating on the investor.
• The credit markets are medicated by the direct involvement of the Central Banks and the balance sheet of the FED looks like a levered junk bond fund.
• Just look at Greek banks and how fast problems can unfold and the impact it has on a countries' debt situation.
  
• Cyprus shows the way...of what we expect: MASSIVE BAIL-INS.
