Just moments ago I read that regulators are raising flags about banks' plans for unwinding their derivatives portfolios. Then I come here to read this. Likely happenstance. Maybe no connection. But a little jarring. Then again, they say there are no coincidences!

- fnordpiglet 2y agoTo be clear, I owned a big bank risk platform for about 10 years and this is an ever reoccurring story and nothing I read in the article you linked feels concerning or abnormal. Particularly on the living wills, stress testing, and capital reserves it’s a bit of a game of chicken between regulators and the regulated. The reality is things are considerably better than they were in 2007.

- fnordpiglet 2y agoThe ride of a life time :-) maybe some day. I still have substantial equity LOL
- hardwaresofton 2y agoHahah well once that equity pays out, post the stories to HN please!
