Good Afternoon:After all bad news, including Spanish´s debt downgrade, are in the air. It seems to me that Spanish markets presents an unique risk/reward window to get into real undervalued companies with value to investors that have a patient and long optimistic view that apocalypse isn´t here...yet.

I want to advice you about a little hidden gem in the Spanish financial sector. It´s called Bankinter $BKT in Spanish Ibex. It´s a domestic bank with interest on insurance business, but with little exposure to mortgage business, has a great multichannel technological platform, very competitive in online banking, with a seasoned and conservative management.

It doesn´t need public funds from Taxpayers, or European bailouts to survive, due its fine financialshttps://docs.bankinter.com/stf/web_corporativa/informacion_financiera/info_financiera/resultados/2012_es/financial_information1q12.pdf. Its balance sheet is clean and it will pass last Spanish banking audits with a bright spot http://www.marketwatch.com/story/spain-auditors-estimate-lenders-need-60b-report-2012-06-14?link=MW_home_latest_news

Bankinter it´s trading at less than its book value, 0.4 book value ratio, so Swing trading Long $BKT has a nice reward/risk ratio.

Have a nice Swing trade.

How much is the equity worth if there's a 20% haircut on Spanish government bonds?

BCE will continue to admit Spanish bonds as collateral, even after rating agencies downgrades, so fresh money will flow into BKT, without problems...

That doesn't answer the question.  The problem is not downgrades, they are merely a symptom. The problem is default.
