1 thought on “New Fed Regulations on US Banks

  1. Good post!

    This is a self-fulfilling prophesy. The risk has been transferred from the bank to the taxpayer thanks to the government’s bailout programs and their unwillingness to allow the market to function as it should, so the need for regulation is real. At the end of the day, they’re just mitigating the risk they decided to take on… which is what the bank’s should have been doing from the beginning. You’re a bank, you take on risk, you have to be able to mitigate that risk somehow. If not, you fail.
