Another bank about to be saved, yep no risk and all reward.. Remember that...

I understand why no one wants them to fail, but also I don't understand why the government's regulation on these institutions is so inappropriate.

 

Because of regulatory capture. The banks and the established rich run this show.

 

why do you say that?

failure is a cornerstone of the capitalist system i.e. creative destruction. it is destruction of the inefficient and the outdated businesses. if not we still would be driving around in the horse and buggy. destruction is followed by renewal with new people at the helm who are more visionary than the previous leaders.

 

If I just read all your post at face value and buy DB yesterday, I would be up 15%. Perhaps that is the trade. Stop fighting QE and embrace it.

 

sigh. ^^^ What he said. Maybe it really is that simple. What a spike! And I had my finger hovering on the "Buy" button yesterday, but chickened out.

EDIT: Light bulb just went on. Will we soon see a similar pop from Wells Fargo??????? Ooooooh baby!!

 

Must not be apples to apples.

All is well in the world.

 

agreed. zdreg, does a bail in begin to put meaningful pressure on the euro?

 

so what's your point? I just asked why we don't see more regulation.

 

That's for sure, super packs and other stuff...

 

you made a statement. you received a response and came up with a non-sequitur reply. if you understand Capitalism you want to see them fail.
for the 2nd time:failure is a cornerstone of the capitalist system i.e. creative destruction. it is destruction of the inefficient and the outdated businesses. if not we still would be driving around in the horse and buggy. destruction is followed by renewal with new people at the helm who are more visionary than the previous leaders.
