I wonder about this. A well managed derivatives portfolio hedges against interest rate risk. Most banks I am familiar have a very sophisticated system to manage derivatives and it is not static, it is adjusted daily.

I think that China, with almost a TRILLION dollars in bad loans impacting their banking system is a much higher risk.

In any event, I would not invest in China or Europe for that matter.

What about the fifty varieties of American financial bubbles? What is Europe to presume significance in this arena?
