To sum up, banks will be required to keep less capital on hand to cover the potential fallout of their risky investments which will then allow them to use that money to make more risky investments.
If you’re young and don’t remember who pays the bail-out bill when these types of plans go horribly wrong, it’s your tax money. Why? Because fuck you, peasant. That’s why.

Seems like a good time for more systematic risk

Haven’t we been through this already? When will we learn that our actions have consequences?

How can buy Sinaloa cartel shares?

That doesn’t seem like a great idea.

Apparently we dont learn from the past. The people running and overseeing the nations’s financial system are very incompetent.
All I have known my entire life is financial turmoil completely avoidable with basic rules and regulations.
At least I can be rest assured that is all my daughter will know also.
Gotta pump those numbers until the ballon pops.

It’s a win for them until they need a bailout. And then it’s probably a massive win for them because the taxpayers will probably get stuck with it rather than letting them collapse due to their own regardedness.

They dont need the capital anyway. All they need is Open AI loans.

If the banks fail again, they WILL NOT be bailed out!

Good news for banks before earnings season… you know what that means. Mid April earnings is going to be a blood bath. But all the banks will glaze Trump for changing the rules.

there needs to be some happy medium between banks get to leverage 20:1 and lending going to private credit where its untraceable and can blow up.
idk what hte right way to do that was but its clear 2007 was not correct, and now is not correct.

This is definitely the time to loosen bank regulations. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

The last time they did something similar with capital requirements during the recovery from the covid drop it juiced the market into an upward spiral that led to the bubble we’re in right now where the indexes are double what they were at the peak prior to the crash.

There is 8.19 trillion in money market accounts, there is no shortage of lending and investment, if anything there is too much available.
We’re at the level of available liquidity moves like these are actively harmful. The hoard of cash bids up any interesting debt to a risk level that banks don’t need to be trying to compete against anyway.

Thai sounds like pre 2008 collapse. Lehman and Bear Stearns come to mind.

It’s only a win for them if we bail them out next time… so I guess, yeah.
