I would guess "bad things" sometime in the middle of 2012, but don't tell Bardon.

In my current gig, I happen to be sitting in the bank of desks next to a large financial institution's Chief Economist's team. It makes for interesting eavesdropping when they are discussing "theoretical" models that would incur bank failures in Australia. Shockingly fragile.

I will be going short on some Australian banks in the medium term the moment China's hankie has a few splashes of snot.

If only you'd shorted CBA at the start of the "demons" thread, eh?

An ex school friend of mine is CEO of a second tier Australian banks and I've knocked around with a few senior economists in my time... I have to say it's money for jam.
