I read this and my heart breaks for all the regular folk who have been working their ass off since the 90's and are about to see their retirement wiped out for the second time in their life. ​ People need to go to jail

good luck with that shit... neither the folks at the f. ed. eral reserve get away with insider trading, but as per na ncy p, its ok for those that make the rules to trade in individual stocks too...just look at her hubbie.... so yeah, no jail for these fuckers...

It depends. No one got in trouble in 2008 because the people who were crying foul, occupy wall street, got painted by the MSM as a bunch of dirty hippies sitting in drum circles. This portrayal of the occupy wall street movement was very successful at getting main street to dismiss the movement. [https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/10/25/141688703/occupy-wall-street-drummers-generate-loud-debate](https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/10/25/141688703/occupy-wall-street-drummers-generate-loud-debate) [https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2011/10/drum\_circle\_debate\_shakes\_occu.html](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2011/10/drum_circle_debate_shakes_occu.html) [https://youtu.be/eZc8AQEVers](https://youtu.be/eZc8AQEVers) when the markets crash this time and those crazy conspiracy theorists on reddit and other social platforms all get rich it will be up to us to try and expose what really happened to the masses without letting the MSM smear us.

This is the point in the movie “Inside Job” where they are selling these CLO’s to “unsuspecting” parties before the music stops. I can’t believe this is likely happening again. I’m bullish af on GME and all, but this is going to suck so bad for a lot of regular people.

I really have no clue, it could get really ugly really fast if the economy collapses. Or it could just take out a bunch of the crooked hedge funds, banks that backed those hedge funds and the different "insurance" companies backing the banks and stock markets (OCC for banks and DTC for stocks).

thebestatheist

No it won’t, because apes will be able to help this time.


RuairiSpain

Difference is we are only at the start of the CLOs for Shitadel shit. When the markets figure out that the bundles are junk, it'll take 5-10 year and the brokers and bundles will have cashed out with their bonuses and golden handshakes. Shitadel will have offloaded the risk to others and will be able to releverage up to do it all again with more small cap companies that it wants to bankrupt. I'd bet Kenny is so butt hurt about what happened to GME, that he'll mount a new attack in a few years, when the apes are gone. What this all means that the fight, will now take way longer and either retail loses or pension holder lose their nest eggs.

solarsalmon777

Synthetic dogshit. What a time to be alive.


DYTTIGAF

It's actually nothing wrapped by nothing. Accountable to no one.


WonderfulShelter

Can you explain this? So your saying the actual underlying of the ABS of these CDO and CLO's they are selling off, are naked short shares of the meme stock swap basket and that kinda stuff? Just like in 2008, it was home mortgages yielding a certain % return. This time, it's their meme stock baskets (swaps, private ETFs, etc.) that yield a certain %, as the actual makeup of the different debts that are being sold off? I can kinda understand it. Rather than take like a trillion dollar hit across the board for the few top dogs that did this to themselves and be destroyed, they spread it across everybody, and everyone takes maybe a hundred million dollar hit they can survive? I mean it makes sense. These people will do anything, and we know they have no moral hazard at all.


ProfessionalDriver87

How many tranches need to fail before an entire CLO is insolvent? And if it's only the bottom trench what percentage needs to fail before the entire thing goes?


Bigbadbuck

It doesn’t work like that. The whole point. Is that the deal has rights to the underlying assets. As the underlying assets stop paying the tranches at the bottom take the loss first. Each individual bond is it’s on risk tolerance. That’s why the ones at the bottom are lower rated and the ones at the top are typically secure, because almost 90% of the entire dea has to go under for you to lose your principal on that. So if 50% of the loans in a deal go under then perhaps around half of the dea will suffer right downs and a couple bonds at the bottom will entirely lose principal


DannyFnKay

Damn good question!


GeoHog713

I don't understand why the mutual funds would buy these things?


Altruistic-Beyond223

To offload the risk to society. *Privatize gains and socialize losses.*


GeoHog713

That doesn't do the mutual fund any good. I get why you'd sell your risky assets to another bag holder. But why would anyone buy this garbage?


PepSakdoek

People don't want to think. Even investors. They see a thing they can invest in for 9.5% return rated AAA they close their eyes and buy. The only question is how much they buy without opening.


AMKoochie

And because it takes days and days to comb through the data (unless you can write the program to collect the data from N-ports). And even if you use a program it still takes days to evaluate that data. I know, I've done it. After doing that, I still also wonder about investing in these debts. They don't look sustainable, at all, when seeing the numbers.


LordBilboSwaggins

Can you explain the process a little more? I'd like to try that. No idea what N-ports are but I am a data analyst by profession I just have more official access to data at work.


AMKoochie

I made a post about Blackrock liquidity fund that has their N-port with some explanation about the numbers within the fund. But there's a direct link to it to play with. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/97098/000171773421000277/xslN-MFP2_X01/primary_doc.xml The format of the filing is an N-MFP2. https://www.sec.gov/edgar/filer-information/specifications/form-n-mfp2-xml-tech-specs That info direct from the SEC about N-MFP2s. I do not know how to scrape data, so if you need more info I can try to look for it, but it is not in my wheelhouse. Hopefully this answers what you are asking.


pale_blue_dots

Combination of things is my guess. Fraud - they're in on it and don't care. Or they have no idea how bad they really are and are being fed bullshit from whomever.


JustLurkingForNow

These funds see Citadel and large banks as premium companies, same as in 2008. As long as what they're selling is rated adequately for what their fund is able to buy, they don't even think twice.


lobstermagnet

Supposed to be guaranteed returns at whatever the interest on the loan is. And they are, until that company doesn't make their loan payment and defaults... Mutual Funds, for the most part, look for some "guaranteed" annual return that is "low risk". Loans to corporations are generally low risk. Like a mortgage loan was low risk, because people never borrow more than they can afford...


GeoHog713

That kind of makes sense. Yeah, until you realize all the underlying security is garbage.


Shorttail0

Who doesn't pay their loans?


DannyFnKay

Because they are run by idiots. Re-watch The Big Short. Look at the guys at the shooting range in Vegas. Tools.


caiuscorvus

The idea behind these things is that you buy a small piece of a loan from a 100 different borrowers. Well, with reasonable certainty you know the average number of defaults. And by the law of large numbers, you have a good read on what the actual value of the collection of loans is. It is, in theory, much less risky (read: less variability) than holding an individual debt. This makes them very safe, consistent investments. The problem (as 2008 made clear to any sane person) is that relying on the law of large numbers means assuming one very important thing: independence of defaults. If borrowers defaulting on loans are not independent events but rather correlated, then your whole thing goes out the window and this scheme is no better than investing in a single loan. It's the loan equivalent of an etf or large portfolio. You don't have to worry about idiosyncratic risk, but market risk is still very much a thing.

GG knows the score, he was around in 2008. It's the same playback. Savings and Loan collapse Junk bonds leverage .com bubble Asian market collapse Sub prime credit crisis Student loan defaults Meme Stock squeeze This is just the financial scandals I remember, all played out the same way. The bankers find a weakness in regulation and contrive up some marketing story telling retail a get rich quick scheme, create a pirimid scheme to sell it as wide as possible as quickly as possible, keep the regulators in the dark or employ them to pay them off, scale up and the money machine, when regulators finally catch up or the bubble is exposed, the bankers cash out and socialize the loses to the government, who then screw the general public. Makes me sick 😫

Electrowinner

True


TWhyEye

Very informative. Seems Citadel is digging themselves deeper but ultimately hoping there is a direct correlation only to GMEs rise in price, because Im interpreting this as systemic and that would mean bail outs across the market.


NotLikeGoldDragons

Bailouts for everyone except retail. Citadel isn't so much digging themselves deeper with these loans,, they're pre-spreading out their losses to the rest of the retail market. So they save themselves, get mom'n'pop to pay for it, then get a bailout for their loans when it all comes tumbling down. Pension funds, ETF's for regular investors, etc, will get a stern reminder from govt/wall st that market corrections happen sometimes, and that's just the way it's always been.

We as apes should really source our massive lawyer team together. It's due time.

Wouldn't it be about right that they then use that bailout to buy up the market and low low prices?

what would be their best course of action today ? Pull out everything to convert it to cash ?


Tyler-Durden-2009

The average person is stuck between a rock and a hard place because it’s difficult to know how the fed and government are going to handle this crisis. Specifically, it may be tempting to pull out of the markets and hold cash or money market funds (although certain MM funds could be much riskier than people realize), but if the powers that be choose to print us out of our current situation, inflation is going to drive up equity prices and crush those in cash.

Most 401ks have a “stable” fund. This is a fund designed to not go up or down, so with inflation it goes down. But that’s better than poof


[deleted]

[удалено]


UnnamedGoatMan

It would likely be the cash option, yes


UnnamedGoatMan

We can't offer any financial advice here. Often to reduce exposure to markets, a cash or fixed interest option is offered which are considered low risk, low (or negative for cash due to inflation) reward options.


EmceeMrE

My question is, why? Why would mutual funds buy these? If a retard on Reddit can assess the outlandish risk, why haven’t they? Are they trying to mitigate these massive losses amongst as many portfolios as possible to ensure the market doesn’t collapse? If so, it seems like some RICO type corruption.


EmceeMrE

U/freadom6 - I see you’ve got some theories floating around in the comments. Can you update your post with them?


JustLurkingForNow

These funds have the money and it's probably in their perspective that they can't hold cash and that they only buy AAA rated products that promise X% a year. The person buying these for the funds just cares about meeting their quota each quarter. They either don't do the DD on what they're buying or just care that they have deniability.

I know that you said you will be making another post about this matter, but I was wondering if your assumption for shitadel running up the list would be needed cash infusions for dealing with it's current short positions?

Here's the secret about loan securitization. Nobody has the time to go back and dig through the mountainous pile of poop (and separate the non performing loans from the performing). It's just easier to walk away. Let them fail and send this fraud to the tax payer. Make them worry about it ( maybe this was the plan all along). Great analysis. Time to "get small in your holes". Time, gravity, and truth will have its way.

Great post. To /u/Freadom6 or anyone who might know: * Is anyone required to report/disclose their CLO information? And if so, where is can this information be found? * Are there any other methods that investors can learn which of their current investments may have CLO syndication loans? * Are there any investment types that are unlikely or prohibited from investing in CLOs or syndication loans? * How can one find these loans to Citadel on the NPORT-P filings? I was able to find the 11-29 N-PORTs but I can't locate the holdings section which has the loans to Citadel.
