Devastation In Adjusted Euro-Sovereign Basis Trade Resumes: Generali And Allianz CDS Update
Continuing our coverage of our favorite European implosion derivative trade for entities which, unlike countries, are not too big to fail, namely Italian and German mega insurers loaded to the gills with Italian and other Euro sovereign debt, Generali (ASSGEN) and Pimco parent Allianz (ALZ), we find that their CDS continue to implode (or soar as the case may be), more or less as expected. We anticipate that more and more traders will proceed to switch basis trade hedges not with sovereigns (where the CDS is now clearly defunct) but with sovereign derivatives such as insurers which can certainly fail (at least for the time being). In the meantime, below is a refresh on how ASSGEN and ALZ has done since we suggested buying protection in the two companies.

When the Italian Villas burn to the ground the insurers will not be able to cover the losses.
Hint, hint

What is the true TSHTF breaking point on these cds?
Not what but when. When payments are missed/default on.
Actually, you are only almost right. The truth is when the IASD says a credit event has occurred. So, the answer is - never.
But if he plays it from the Corporate bond angle he is then correct, so my answer had many assumptions. My apologies.
"But if he plays it from the Corporate bond angle he is then correct"
Not always true either. Google EFH Bond + CDS and see what comes up. They essentially restructured their bonds they couldn't pay, and the IASD gave them a pass too! I know, EFH is the parent corporation for my employer.

My favorite episode of all time. Any time I need a good laugh, I watch again on YT.
"Good day sir" "how much did you pay for the cheap mustache" "clean yourself up" LOL!
Give us all a break already. Just from todays ZH headlines you would think the world ended last night. Instead, ES is down a whopping .72% and gold is off another ten bucks or so or .5 %.

If you are really holding this paper, get paid while you can. Like everything else in life, timing is everything.
We're witnessing the end of days for the EZ. They've gone beyond the point where the firemen can just hose the fire. The house will either burn down or be seriously damaged. Credibility is a huge issue which has now been burnt. But don't worry, the global economy will go down with it
Yeah and funnily these CDS were invented in 1994 by Blythe Masters, a City cunt, working for JPMorgan every now and then.
But I do not expect from Tyler and likes to be smart enough to wrap their minds around that concept of a plan that spans longer than your average election cycle, let alone 250 years.
Those dimensions are unfathomable for Americans, but not for us.
Nonetheless, I try it for the 376th time: This "crisis" is intended, it is planned, it is wanted.
I mean we tried to warn you Americans, but you were asleep at the wheel for the last 30 years, living in your capitalist bubble of "The American Dream".

Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades? Eh?
Merkel will break. Germany "owns" most of the EU's junk thanks to years of EUR manipulation to feed an export giant that was never there pre-EUR.
Not if she wants to remain in charge of Germany - and her party has been losing elections anyway.

Really? Germany's post war recovery was based on the manufacture and export of high-quality goods, all over the world, and was very successful indeed despite an always strong DEM.
The only thing Merkel might do is to restore the DEM. It would be very popular, and although it would produce higher export prices people buy German goods on quality, not price (see success despite strong DEM above).
Germany's economy (whether they realize it or not) would take a(nother) massive hit (read: labor shock) if Germany were to re-institute the DEM. How do you think that would fly with the voting public?
I should have quilified 'giant' and 'never': 'giant' in the China/Japan sense of the word, and 'never' (admittadly exaggerated on my part) as in the mid-80's and 90's.
Additinally, Merkel adopts the DEM, she (and the Bundesbank) will have to explain to the German people why they now have to take a massive write-down on their savings thanks to years of currency manipulation (good luck in the re-elections).
I'm not saying it's NOT the right thing to do, but in what univers is doing the right thing at the top of any political agenda?
When people talk about "too big to fail" they are really saying the "tax payer should back stop my bad bets". When I saw cramarica chair the prez debate, he passionatly stated "italy is too big to fail" as if it was end of discussion. I thought about this as a peasant in America and it remidend me how they are desperatly they are trying to maintain their wealth. I wish they would state the truth "They are too big to fail cuz I will loose my @ss if they go down and I dont want to have a transfer of of my welath to the more prudent investors". No matter what happens at the next bond auction, the sun will come up tomorrow and billions of people will need to feed, house, and cloth themselves; with or without CDSs.
heluva call, tyler!

"pimpCo need re-parenting"
I thought they were adopted.
German and Belgian 5 yr CDS are increasing as well. Euro endgame coming!

Time for the Tylers to revist Blackrock and see how Mr Fink is faring with those "solid" Italian bonds.
I can't believe anyone is actually surprised that the European bond market is collapsing. After the Greece scam, smart people would, should and are running for the exit.
