UBS (UBS) and Citi (C) have both announced huge write-downs on their fixed income portfolios due to tight credit and deteriorating credit markets.

Watch all of the big money center banks and investment banks get pressured at the open. Wall St. does not know which big global financial institution will be next, but it will bet that their is a third, a fourth, and, perhaps a fifth.

The dip in financial stock in late August may just be the beginning.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
