Banks could become reluctant to extend credit, for example, and less likely to take on stock issuance through rights offering, which would essentially create a shortage of securities.It must be opposite day again. As I remember it, banks mostly caused the last shock and refused to extend credit, especially to each other, because they knew each other. Everyone knew about the fraudulent accounting, the out of control risk taking, the dumping of worthless mortgage paper on investors and the government. All I can say is Bravo!

Strong, resilient, and ethical banking system!! Yes!!!
Oh, crap. I can't believe my own sarcasm. I must be doing something wrong. Do I need to be the CEO of a bank to make the magic work? ;)

DeleteThe books always add up on Opposite Day!
ReplyDeleteOne book for investors to see, one book for the IRS to see, and one book that is kept in a secret location known only to you!
That's three cook'd books of gluttonous prosperity!!
