First I set CNBC on F.I.R.E., Now It Appears I’ve Set Sell Side Wall Street on F.I.R.E. As Well!!!

Tuesday I literally Set CNBC on F.I.R.E.!!! as the only pundit/analyst/investor to warn of the FIRE (finance/insurance/real estate) sector for 2012.  The day after the warning on the insurance portion of F.I.R.E it was announced thatInsurers’ 2011 Catastrophe Losses Hit Record

I also gave explicit warnings on the media’s favorite bank, the “untouchable” Goldman Sachs! Well, it looks as if I’ve actually set the Wall Street Brokerage house on F.I.R.E as well. Lookee here: UBS, Goldman, Morgan Stanley Earnings Estimates Cut By JPMorgan Cazenove

JPMorgan Cazenove analysts cut their earnings outlook for investment banks for 2011, 2012 and 2013, citing worsening conditions in fixed income and equities.

Hmmmmm…. Where have we heard that befre???

UBS AG (UBSN) had its 2011 earnings-per-share estimate trimmed by 4 percent and the 2012 estimate by 11 percent, JPMorgan analysts including Kian Abouhossein said in a note to clients today. JPMorgan also curbed its Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) forecast for 2011 by 37 percent and the 2012 figure by 19 percent.

Copycats???

The earnings downgrades of banks including Goldman and UBS “reflect weaker investment banking client activity and lower volumes across the board than previously anticipated,” JPMorgan’s analysts said. “Consensus needs to come down to reflect the weaker-than-expected environment” in 2011’s fourth quarter, they said.

JPMorgan also cut forecasts for other banks including Morgan Stanley (MS), whose estimates were reduced by 5 percent for 2011 and 17 percent for 2012.

From what I understand, Wells Fargo also issued a similar report on Goldman! Quite timely, fellas! Although this is notthe First Time The Vampire Squid Get’s Outed On TV!, I do believe it was the first time it was outright outed on the big MSM stations such as CNBC. Of course the sell side follows suit, after the fact. To wit, CNBC Favorite Dick Bove Admits To Being Wrong On Banks, But For The Right Reasons, But Those Reasons Are Still Wrong!!! I would like all to remember that Goldman, et. al. Suffer From The Same Malady That Collapsed Lehman and MF Global, Worlds 1st and 8th Largest Bankruptcies! This is proof positive that the BoomBustBlog Forecast Pan-European Bank Run Has Breached American Soil!!! Investors, pundits and analysts can sit idly by while Squids, Morgans & Counterparty Risk Blow Up The World One Tentacle At A Time or they can actively do something about it. The decision is yours to make.

Times are changing, y’all. Hey, when are rating agencies going to jump into the fray? Not! Maybe its time to pose the question “What Is More Valuable, The Opinion Of A Major Rating Agency Or The Opinion Of A Blog?” Go Ahead, I DARE You To Answer! In case I haven’t delivered the hint strongly enough, let me be blunt. I’m directly challenging the the Sell Side house that is just now catching F.I.R.E. - Did Reggie Middleton, a Blogger at BoomBustBlog, Best Wall Streets Best of the Best?
