A Bit on Subprime

Well, what do you know? There are winners in the subprime mess. Much as I wondered whether Deutsche Bank would have problems, they managed to hedge their risks and then some. Way to go.
Alas, more victims of the subprime bust. It seems that with European institutions, we don’t have much idea of who was taking undue risks. Any exposure is a surprise.

Disclaimer: David Merkel is an investment professional, and like every investment professional, he makes mistakes. David encourages you to do your own independent "due diligence" on any idea that he talks about, because he could be wrong. Nothing written here, or in my writings at RealMoney is an invitation to buy or sell any particular security; at most, David is handing out educated guesses as to what the markets may do. David is fond of saying, "The markets always find a new way to make a fool out of you," and so he encourages caution in investing. Risk control wins the game in the long run, not bold moves.

Additionally, David may occasionally write about accounting, actuarial, insurance, and tax topics, but nothing written here or on RealMoney is meant to be formal "advice" in those areas. Consult a reputable professional in those areas to get personal, tailored advice that meets the specialized needs that David can have no knowledge of.
