$Charles Schwab(SCHW)$ I don't think most people go far enough in describing the case for shorting. Schwab is "economically" (not legally, Tier 1 or GAAP) undercapitalized as of December 31. They have lost more money in securities than they have made in the last 3 years. Also, a simple calculation of $300 billion in deposits, how much less would they have made if interest rates on those deposits had risen by 1% or 2%? Despite the fact that they are market leaders, the risk is not zero.
