Largest U.S. Bank Failures
Study Shows Too-Big-To-Fail US Banks Grew After CrisisMar 23, 2012
March 18 (Bloomberg) -- The largest US banks have grown larger since the financial crisis, and the number of "too-big-to-fail" banks will increase by 40 percent over the next 15 years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The Dodd-Frank law would prohibit the largest banks from merging with one another. The law would not prevent the largest banks from growing in other ways, according to the Bloomberg Government Study, "Too-Big-to-Fail Banks Get Bigger After Dodd-Frank." Bloomberg's Lizzie O'Leary reports. (Source: Bloomberg)
Jim Rogers: Let AIG Go Bankrupt or USA FinishedApr 07, 2012
www.patriotinternet.com American International Group should be allowed to go bankrupt because keeping it and other sick financials alive on government support risks ruining the US economy, legendary investor Jim Rogers told CNBC Tuesday. RELATED LINKS Current DateTime 08:11:20 03 Mar 2009 LinksList Documentid: 29476352 * A Remake of AIG Is the Goal of Rescue * AIG Is Dead: Hendry * Hendry: Debt Is too High * Special Report: Predictions '09 AIG [AIG 0.443 0.023 (+5.48%) ], whose $61.66 billion fourth-quarter loss was the largest ever for a US company, received $30 billion more in government funds Monday. The insurer's financial health hasn't improved despite getting as much as $150 billion from the government last year. "Suppose AIG goes bankrupt, it is better that AIG goes bankrupt and we have a horrible two or three years than that the whole US goes bankrupt," Rogers said. "AIG has trillions of dollars of obligations, let them fail, let the courts sort it out and start over. Otherwise we'll never start over." On Monday, CEO Edward Liddy told CNBC that the insurer is far more stable and secure than it was last fall but acknowledged that it was "difficult to say" if AIG will need even more money from the government in the future. Bailing out the banks is going to increase the debt spiral and finally cause the destruction of the world's biggest economy, Rogers said. "I think it's astonishing, they're ruining the US economy, they're ruining the US government, they're ruining ...
Modern Bank RunsMay 18, 2012
It always amazes how calm and self assured news journalist are when commentating about the collapse of the 2nd largest Bank in US history. And the sheer fact that many will lose a considerable portion of their life savings. The economics correspondent makes reference to the Massive losses (on the stock market) by Washington Mutual and National City bank. Washington Mutual alone lost 34.8 (Monday July 14208) So one has to ask , what's next? considering the massive losses by Washington Mutual, I will refer to an Article by Jonathan Stempel (REUTERS) SEPTEMBER10,2007 quoting WASHINGTON MUTUAL INC. "Washington Mutual Inc said on Monday that most US housing markets are weakening, creating a "near perfect storm" that may force the largest US savings and loan to set aside more money for bad loans". Well that has obviously happened, which is why there was such a run on INDYMAC because of their staggering default rates on the loans packaged by the company. SO is WASHINGTON MUTUAL next? David Goldman from CNNMONEY writes "WaMu responded after the market close with a statement, saying it is sufficiently capitalized, with more than $40 billion in excess liquidity after it recently raised $7.2 billion in capital. That statement is nearly identical to the statement made by INDYMAC before their collapse. I closed my account with WASHINGTON MUTUAL over a year ago, so none of this surprises me. Regarding INDYMAC, I was becoming so frustrated by the outright Blackout with video and photo ...

13. Banking: Successes and FailuresMay 11, 2012
Financial Markets (ECON 252) Banks, which were first created in primitive form by goldsmiths hundreds of years ago, have evolved into central economic institutions that manage the allocation of resources, channel information about productive activities, and offer the public convenient investment vehicles. Although there are several types of banking institutions, including credit unions and Saving and Loan Associations, commercial banks are the largest and most important in the banking system. Banks are designed to address three significant problems in capital markets: adverse selection, moral hazard, and liquidity. Banks make money by borrowing long and lending short and use fractional reserves to lend more funds than are deposited. History has seen numerous problems in banks, including bank runs and insolvency. Government support and regulation, such as those implemented via the Basel Accord, as well as rating agencies help to ensure that investors trust the banks with which they have relations. 00:00 - Chapter 1.
