Santander and Deutsche Bank have failed a US “stress test” designed to assess whether lenders can withstand another financial crisis and can continue to lend during a financial crisis.

COMMENT: Marty, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your work. I lost more than half of my savings following the goldbugs. I saw the light and sold on this last rally you called would be a “pop”. You called the low perfectly and then nailed the very day of the high. I can […]

  The conspiracy promoters are just not satisfied with the fact that we are screwed and perhaps nobody is in charge to stop or push anything.
