After the losses they have taken, his word is worth what? We hear the same sad story twice a week that the bottom is in for the financials-usually right before another borrows an unforseen new 5 to 10 billion. The liquidation of stockholder value in these stocks has been incredible. This is far from "over".

The "old news" article was only put out Friday and was written by a columnist. The Sunday article was an interview with the CEO, as thespookyone said, "his word is worth what?"

From the interview with Rohner on Sunday which was obviously done to attempt to clean up his PR problems with the Swiss...

"We are no longer at the lowest point. There are certain factors that we cannot influence, however, such as the U.S. real estate market. There, there is volatility," CEO Marcel Rohner said in an interview with Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung.

Isn't the U.S. real estate market the source of their UBS's (as well as all the ibanks who put out CDOs) problems to begin with?
