Tom -

It's even worse than that. According to Richard Daughty, it is 1.2%.

My question was and is, when does the increasing leverage in the banking system become a problem?


I haven't a clue. But at least with only a 1.2% reserve the quality of those reserves can't be too important. -g-

Hello Thomas. I think one must defer to the gallant Henry V. with over 7000 posts on SI. God, why doesn't this man write a book?

Tom, what sets of data are you using to calculate the reserve ratio?

Thomas, keep in mind the asset backed and mortgaged backed securities allow banks to sell off their loans effectively bypassing the restraints of reserve requirements so they can orgininate more loans. Mike
