\/><\/a>There is so much chaos going on that I don\u2019t even know where to start.\u00a0 For a very long time I have been warning my readers that a major banking collapse was coming to Europe, and now it is finally unfolding.\u00a0 Let\u2019s start with Deutsche Bank.\u00a0 The stock of the most important bank in the \u201cstrongest economy in Europe\u201d plunged\u00a0<a title=\"another 8 percent on Monday\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/echarts?s=db+Interactive#{%22allowChartStacking%22:true}\" target=\"_blank\">another 8 percent on Monday<\/a>, and it is now hovering just above

playing out.\u00a0 In addition to Deutsche Bank, the list of other \u201ctoo big to fail\u201d banks in Europe that appear to be in very serious trouble includes Commerzbank, Credit Suisse, HSBC and BNP Paribas.\u00a0 Just about every major bank\u00a0<a title=\"in Italy\" href=\"http:\/\/themostimportantnews.com\/archives\/a-run-on-the-banks-begins-in-italy-as-italian-banking-stocks-collapse\" target=\"_blank\">in Italy<\/a>\u00a0could fall on that list as well, and Greek bank stocks lost close to a quarter of their value on Monday alone.\u00a0 Financial Armageddon has come to Europe, and

collapse of the banks in Europe is dragging down stock prices all over the continent.\u00a0 At this point, more than one-fifth of all stock market wealth in Europe has already been wiped out since the
