agree. i don’t know how you fashion a regulation beyond regulating the fed from breaking the banks.
fed mandate - don’t break banks.
I now think it's highly possible.
Because these people are crazy and going to gamble with creating a currency crisis.
Hike rates and insure 18 trillion worth of deposits.
No consequences!

I don't see how you can disconnect capitalization requirements from bank runs. Isn't that precisely what capitalization requirements are designed to improve institution resiliency against?
I'm glad to see you've bent the knee on this one.
It looks like debt is going up quickly. Do you think the big institutions went leveraged gambling again?
Brukus , prior to the 2000 to 08 blow up , Banks had a 10 x leverage rule . Graham had a bill that Clinton signed allowing them to go 50 x and compete with brokers . This brought the Cmo , CDO GNMA bloodbath . The Gunslingers of Wall Street engineered the financial products they peddled world wide .This is much different . Bloomberg is yapping about it right now .
So - I read Murray N Rothbard - "The Mystery of Fractional Banking" where it explains how banks lend out many times what their deposits are and whip up money from thin air when they make a loan in excess of their deposits. Where do you find the data on how much a banks outstanding loans are in comparison to their deposits? Like your 10x leverage means that they can lend out 10 dollars for every dollar of deposits they have. Where do they report that?
The president of our local bank used to take us to lunch once in a while - I asked him once and his non answer was like a corkscrew.
This thread should be named "How's the inflation market" (and Dollar conspiracies).
I am currently working my way up from the ditch. Covered in sh!t :/

Inflation and the reaction to it is the single biggest topic regarding the market right now?
Isn't "Don't fight the Fed" an old adage of investing?
Yeah, but it's boring. Interest rates will go quite high and inflation will go down at some point 
If my S&P-indexed rate of return is 7% and inflation is 6.5%, what is my real rate of return?
Are we back at "it is impossible to make money and it will all disappear" again? The rich are only getting richer, must be something going right....

Right - so the inflation-adjusted return is dependent on stable currency, hence our interest in inflation. You sound poor.
Taxes factor heavily into your real rate of return.

Mentioned it before as a coin to keep an eye on for possible bottom scoop. Continuing to drop big for a long time and 99% down from ATH. Will be scooping some if it drops below 0.50 cents.
ATH: $1800
Current: $0.51
