A PICTURE OF THE EURO CRISIS

Europe's "most disturbing chart" is getting worse by the day.

In December 2010, we published a sorry-looking chart of German banking powerhouse Deutsche Bank (DB)… and called it Europe's "most disturbing chart."

Back then, DB had broken down to a 52-week low. We noted how the stock's weakness was much more disturbing than weakness in Irish or Greek banking shares.

After all, Germany is the "engine" of Europe. It is the continent's most important and most stable economy. And DB is Germany's largest bank.

We also noted that if German bank and asset prices were heading lower, it was a sign the "debt disease" at the fringes of Europe were starting to infect the whole body.

As you can see from our updated chart, the disease has spread. DB has plunged 39% in just the past five weeks. Shares are at their lowest level since early 2009.

The Euro Crisis has arrived… and it is laying low the strongest member.

7 Large-Cap Stocks to Sell Right Away: Deutsche Bank AG (USA) (DB)

Market Cap: $45.1 billion
Industry: Banking

Financial institutions have had a hard time since the real estate debacle in 2008.

Most big U.S. banks are finally starting to get out from under all the lawsuits and federal investigations and have replenished their coffers in a new banking environment.

Even then, they’re still not paragons of strength and stability they once were.

The scary thing is, U.S. banks are doing better than most other banks in the world. And that’s especially true of European banks.

Deutsche Bank AG (USA) (NYSE:DB) has one uninspiring thing in common with another bank stock on this list: They both failed the European Central Bank’s stress test.

DB has been making headlines of late. You can consider it the JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) of Europe since it is setting records — in paying fines for misconduct.

In late April it settled a rate fixing scheme it was running for a record $2.5 billion.

It’s also on the verge of settling a foreign exchange manipulation charge for another $1 or $2 billion in coming weeks.

All these problems make DB a large-cap stock to sell.

2016 Performance: -36%

Deutsche Bank (DB) is already falling off a cliff in 2016, as Germany’s largest lender faces skepticism from markets over its capitalization levels.

Unfortunately, growth in the Eurozone has been downright anemic for years, and now that global growth is slowing too, downside risk is getting harder and harder to diversify away from.

Recently, doubts about whether Deutsche Bank would be able to pay back investors in its contingent convertible bonds, or CoCos, prompted a huge selloff in those securities. Coupon payments are tied to capital levels, and investors believe Deutsche Bank is teetering on the edge of not being able to afford them.

And while the company could issue more stock to assuage those fears, that would dilute current shareholders — and still wouldn’t guarantee an end to the bank’s problems.

Are Deutsche Bank Asia Ties the Straw Breaking the Bank’s Back?

By Valentin Schmid

Speculators backed by the bank may not be able to make good on their part of the derivative contracts, in which case Deutsche has to foot the bill.

Other potential losses may include loans to commodity companies and traders such as Glencore PLC or Anglo American PLC.

To make matters worse, Chinese regulators launched a corruption probe against the president of Deutsche Bank’s China joint venture partner Hua Xia, subsequently put up for sale in December.
