C&I lending continues to flatline: stls.frb.org Banksters are no fools (err, well, other than the ones lending more to Enron). They've turned the business from one of risk-assessment and risk-assumption into one of selling services, and laying risk off to undercapitalized entities. This of course massively increases systemic risk, but HO HO HO! That never shows up on a corporate balance sheet or income statement. Thus it never worms its way into executive compensation packages. When the inevitable blow ups occur, banksters by and large (with a few notable exceptions) will dodge the bullet, provided they've kept residual holdings from their securitization schemes to a minimum. The rest of the financial services industry (particularly banks with large credit insurance activity) won't be so lucky...and of course, either will J4P.
