Hi Jurriaan:
Five years time or less. It's not at all clear whether even with the bailouts the troubled
firms in the financial sector will be able to avoid bankruptcy in the next year or two.
Part of the debate is a kind of "do you throw good money after bad?" discourse: i.e.
what guarantee for the state is there that if they give increasing funds to these
institutions that they won't still go bankrupt anyway or keep coming back asking for more?
The have become, perhaps, in Tony T's words, "too big too save".
In solidarity, Jerry
