There are a number of counter-intuitive dimensions to Glass Steagall reform. The Gramm-Leach-Blilely Act which replaced Glass Steagall was more a re-regulation than deregulation bill. With the strong endorsement of the Federal Reserve and the Clinton administration, particularly secretaries of the Treasury Robert Rubin and Larry Summers, the 1999 bill authorized a change in the competitive framework of finance but added to, rather than reduced, the regulatory framework. Glass Steagall had, in effect, established three cocoons of financial activity that weren't supposed to compete against each other - commercial banking, investment banking, and insurance. What repeal of Glass Steagall allowed wan cross-competition within the financial community with the maintenance of functional regulati...

The credit crisis roiling Wall Street and big financial institutions worldwide has yet to have a major impact on at least some of the day-to-day borrowing and lending that helps fuel the economy in the Pikes Peak region. Folks are still getting home mortgages. Banks are still making loans for cars and trucks. And small businesses continue to get the credit transfusions needed to keep stock on their shelves. But that's not to say the lending landscape hasn't changed: Unlike just a year or two ago, if area consumers want to borrow money, they'd better have a steady income, a good credit score and some kind of down payment or equity.

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. Derivatives are financial instruments with a value derived from fluctuations in the share of an underlying asset, liability, interest rate, exchange rate, or index. Derivatives can be traded over-the-counter (OTC) or on an exchange. OTC derivatives are traded directly between two parties, without using an exchange to facilitate the trade. SFAS 161 improves transparency by disclosing more information as to where derivative investments are reflected in the financial statements and the amounts of such derivatives. Issuers must now disclose the fair values of derivatives and their gains and losses in a tabular fo...

Bernie Sanders, the senator from Vermont who is independent in spirit as well as party label, has placed a hold on President Obama's nomination of Gary Gensler to head the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Sounds like a minor issue to get worked up about, but the senator is right. Like most Americans, I am eager for Obama to succeed, but I see this appointment as further evidence that the president has entrusted his economic policy to the wrong people.
