Die Gerüchte über Fortis werden schon seit Tagen gestreut. Ist das eines der letzten Finanzinstitute, das man noch "shorten" kann? ;-)))

US Bailout in Chaos, WaMu Is Biggest Bank FailureCREDIT CRUNCH, FINANCIAL CRISIS, SEC, FEDERAL RESERVE, CONGRESS, FINANCIAL BAILOUT, FINANCIAL BAILOUT, KANJORSKI, MCCAIN, WASHINGTON MUTUALBy ReutersReuters| 26 Sep 2008 | 05:42 AM ET
U.S. congressional leaders will try again on Friday to save a $700 billion Wall Street rescue plan after talks broke down in acrimony against the backdrop of the nation's biggest-ever bank failure.
As negotiations over the White House's unprecedented bailout scheme degenerated into chaos when a rival Republican plan emerged, the U.S. authorities shut down Washington Mutual, the largest U.S. savings and loan bank, and sold its assets.
Democratic Rep. Barney Frank, who has played a key role in talks over the bailout plan, said negotiations would continue on Friday, but with no sign that Republicans in the House of Representatives would take part.
He said he hoped President George W. Bush and Republican presidential candidate John McCain could convince them to join the talks, where Senate and House Democrats, Senate Republicans and the Treasury Department were working together and "there aren't huge differences."
"I can't believe that House Republicans are going to continue to defy George Bush or that John McCain isn't going to try to help," he said. "There is optimism."
Senior Democrats had said after the meeting that McCain gave the impression he backed the new plan, but the McCain campaign denied that he had endorsed anything.
U.S. stock futures, the dollar and Asian share markets all fell, while Treasuries rose reflecting heightened anxiety over Washington's efforts to contain the 13-month old credit crisis.
"The Congress doesn't really want the plan -- no one really wants the plan, but the alternative is too bad to contemplate," said Jan Lambregts, head of Asia research with Rabobank Global Financial Markets in Hong Kong.
Central banks in Japan, Australia and Switzerland, the euro area and Britain were back in action, pumping more cash into money markets, rattled by news of another bank failure and the bailout plan's setback.
The third-largest U.S. bank JPMorgan Chase said on Thursday it bought the deposits of Washington Mutual , which has seen its market value virtually wiped out because of massive amounts of bad mortgages. The government said there would be no impact on WaMu's depositors and customers. JPMorgan said it would be business as usual on Friday morning.
Had a bailout deal been reached in Congress, it might have helped the savings and loan, founded in Seattle in 1889. Efforts to find a buyer for WaMu have faltered over concerns whether the government would reach a deal to buy its toxic mortgages.
The upheaval in Washington comes after a month of turbulence marked by the government's takeover of mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac , the bailout of insurer AIG and the bankruptcy of investment bank Lehman Brothers.
At one point, U.S. lawmakers had appeared close to an agreement on the bailout, lifting world stock markets and sending the dollar higher.
But an emergency White House meeting between Congressional leaders, Bush, McCain and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama "devolved into a contentious shouting match," according to the McCain campaign's statement.
At the heart of the controversy was a new proposal by House Republicans which would scrap the legislation that had been crafted so far by the Treasury and lawmakers in favor of a rival mortgage insurance plan, put forward by conservative Republicans.
For Investors
The conservative group's plan calls for the U.S. government to offer insurance coverage for the roughly half of all mortgage-backed securities that it does not already insure.
The architects of the original plan, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, rushed to Capitol Hill for late night meetings to urge House Republicans to get back on track.
As Thursday's meeting began, Bush warned, "We're in a serious economic crisis in the country if we don't pass a piece of legislation." Frank, the powerful chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said before the Bush meeting that the deal would give the money to the U.S. Treasury in installments rather than a $700 billion lump sum the Bush administration wanted.
Bailout Exceeds Total IMF Lending
The enormity of the deal, which would cost every man, woman and child in the United States about $2,300, led many lawmakers to ask Paulson during two days of rancorous hearings this week to take the cash in installments.
The bailout exceeds total lending by the International Monetary Fund since its inception after World War Two. The IMF has loaned $506.7 billion since 1947 to countries in crisis as far flung as Argentina, Britain, Turkey and South Korea.
Frank also said the deal would allow the government to take part-ownership of banks and ban companies that sell toxic assets to the government from paying massive "golden parachutes" to executives being fired.
The swirl of political theatre and meetings in Washington followed fresh turbulence in the world economy. Orders for costly U.S. manufactured goods plunged in August, new-home sales hit a 17-year low, while new claims for jobless benefits shot up last week.
Top U.S. industrial conglomerate General Electric , widely seen as a bellwether of the U.S. economy, issued a profit warning, citing "unprecedented weakness and volatility" in the financial services market.
HSBC Holdings, Europe's biggest bank, said on Friday it was cutting 1,100 jobs or 4 percent of its total workforce, because of the global financial crisis.
The crisis reverberated in Amsterdam and Brussels, where Fortis NV, the Belgian-Dutch financial services group, denied a rumour the Dutch central bank had asked a Fortis rival to support the company's liquidity position. Fortis shares sank as much as 21 percent to 14-year lows.
China's second largest insurer Ping An Insurance, which owns 5 percent of Fortis, dived 8.7 percent because of the rumour.
In Asia, hundreds of people lined up outside the Hong Kong branches of the Bank of East Asia, some sleeping there overnight, to withdraw their savings.

Nun verbleibt meine Shortspekulation auf IBM
Während der Anleihenmarkt zittert, sind die Aktienanleger nicht zu erschüttern. Da scheint was faul.
Leerverkäufer sind dieser Tage nicht sonderlich gern gesehen, außer natürlich an den Rohstoffmärkten, jedenfalls solange sie ihre Positionen dort nicht frech wieder eindecken. Aber von allen regulatorischen Attacken abgesehen haben sie es in diesen Märkten ohnehin schwer. In den USA sind die Ergebnisschätzungen für das dritte Quartal binnen vier Wochen um fünf Prozent gefallen - und zwar bevor GE am Donnerstag mit einer Gewinnwarnung herauskam.
Derweil werden die Makrodaten immer schlimmer: Multipliziert man die Zahl der geleisteten Wochenarbeitsstunden mit dem Durchschnittslohn einfacher Arbeiter und deflationiert man dieses Produkt mit dem Verbraucherpreisindex (jenem ohne die obskure Mietkomponente), lag die reale Lohnsumme schon im August um 3,5 Prozent unter dem Vorjahr. Geht es aber nach den Erstanträgen auf Arbeitslosengeld, wird sich das Tempo des Stellenabbaus demnächst sogar noch verdoppeln. Unterdessen sind die - nominalen - US-Gebrauchsgüteraufträge auf den Stand vom Sommer 2005 gesunken, während Hausverkäufe und -preise im freien Fall bleiben.
Wenn man nun noch den Zustand der Geld- und Kreditmärkte betrachtet, sollte man eigentlich meinen, dass auch am Aktienmarkt die Risikoprämien zunehmen - zumal mit Fortis gleichzeitig noch ein europäisches Finanzschwergewicht mächtig unter Druck gerät. Aber im Gegenteil: Beiderseits des Atlantiks stiegen Aktien am Donnerstag um zwei Prozent. Das mag technische Gründe haben, doch die Hoffnung scheint zu sein, dass der Ramschfonds das System konsolidiert. Nur reicht das eben nicht. Denn es muss auch neuer Schwung her, weil ein BIP-Wachstum unterhalb des Potenzials dauernd steigende Arbeitslosigkeit bewirkt und daher kein stabiles Gleichgewicht ist.
Wo aber soll dieser Schwung herkommen, wo laut Ben Bernanke gar der Export nachgibt? Bei einem Konsum von 10.150 Mrd. $ lässt sich leicht errechnen, wie stark der Staat bei einem Rückgang des privaten Verbrauchs von einem Prozent gegensteuern müsste, um die aggregierte Nachfrage zu festigen. Nur hatte die OECD schon vor den diversen Hilfszusagen der vergangenen Wochen, die 1000 Mrd. $ übersteigen, eine gesamtstaatliche Budgetlücke 2008 von 781 Mrd. $ gewähnt. Da wird die Luft langsam dünn. Zugleich senden die Kreditmärkte die klare Botschaft, dass der überschuldete Privatsektor seine Defizite trotz Paulson-Fonds kaum mehr finanzieren wird können.
Es ist, kurzum, schwer zu sehen, wie der dringend benötigte Schwung entstehen soll, zumal die Fed inzwischen selbst bei einem realen Leitzins von minus 3,4 Prozent auf Granit zu beißen scheint. Eigentlich also fast geniale Bedingungen für Leerverkäufer, wo der S&P 500 doch mit einem GAAP-KGV von 24 notiert. Dass sich der Markt dennoch hält, dürfte erklären, warum die Zahl der kursierenden Verschwörungstheorien rapide steigt.
