of course they are assured of a bail-out - the money center banks exposure to derivatives, syndicated loans, and other forms of leverage means that every single one of them poses a systemic risk...accidents waiting to happen. even GE Capital is big enough to represent systemic risk in case of default. so they KNOW they will be bailed out, and armed with that knowledge take on more and more risk. the mess gets bigger by the day in other words. widespread belief in Greenspud's free lunch, wherever one looks.
