Europe's 'doom-loop' returns as credit markets seize up - Telegraph: 09 Feb 2016 "A string of dire results from banks have set off a firesale on "Cocos", bonds that allow lenders to miss a coupon payment and switch the debt to equity. A Unicredit issue of €1bn of Coco bonds has crashed to 72 cents on the euro.

Frances Coppola, Feb 10, 2016: "The fundamentals have not changed and the longer-term trend is downwards. I suspect the recovery in Deutsche Bank’s share price will be short-lived ... It would be hard to see how including bank stocks in QE could avoid accusations of monetary financing of government, in breach of Article 123 of the Lisbon Treaty.

These issues are not going away, and the bank is not likely getting a discount for settling a lot at once.”"

and A tempest of fear | The Economist: "... the malaise of European banking stocks has deeper roots. The fundamental problem is both that there are too many banks in Europe and that many are not profitable enough because they have clung to flawed business models. European investment banks lack the deep domestic capital markets that give their American competitors an edge. Deutsche, for instance, has only just resolved to hack back its investment bank in the face of a less hospitable regulatory environment following the financial crisis..."
