What a difference a month makes

In December UBS said it would take a hit of $10 billion from the sub-prime 'problem'. Today's Wall Street Journal reports a UBS statement that the number is now $14 billion, or a 40% increase in 30 days. No one knows how much sub-prime debt they still hold; in December it was $29 billion.

Two other familiar names appear in the article - Singapore and an unnamed Middle East investor.
