last time we saw the non-borrowed reserves graph it was at about -$10 billion with the same stark steep curve on the right hand side.

i finally managed to have a decent conversation with the brother-with-an-MBA-who-works-for-a-big-bank. (he doesn't like the subject of Peak Oil). i asked him how much of the losses associated with mortgage backed securities have been booked & recognized. all he would commit to is, "well, that's a very good question".

-$90 billion in non-borrowed reserves. that just does not sound good, but i would have a hard time explaining it.

First, I'll be honest in that I'm not sure it I should be scared or simply raising an eyebrow-of-slight-concern like I am right now. What I do believe is that if the credit crisis is half over, then we've experienced the easy half.
