Does the CS-UBS deal smell fishy to anyone else?


They're trying to instil confidence in the markets but for me personally this does the exact opposite.

It was rushed through late on a Sunday night, certain laws were ignored to expedite it, UBS asked for backstops from the SNB, the final price was a huge discount.

UBS seemed to be a reluctant buyer and Credit Suisse seemed to be willing to sell to anyone for anything.

The whole thing just seems fishy.

What are your thoughts?
