Fractional Reserve Banking 101

Exactly. But the instant the bank loans out one dime of customer money, that's Fractional Reserve Banking. If you have $2000 in deposits and you loan out $50 of that money, it's fractional. If you loan out the $50 from a proprietary account (The bank's money, not the customers' money), that's not fractional.

No, a LOT of banks were giving out those sub-prime loans that were unlikely to be repaid.
I guess it's subjective to interpretation... a little? a lot? I remember when you sent me the list of banks that were "bailed out", though most actually repaid quickly.

I understand that.

The problem is that everything is interconnected, and a lot of the wealth is concentrated in the big firms.
Precisely. I'm not going into the fact that they shouldn't have. We've been there too many times before already.

I'm not saying that the banks were dishonest, though. I'm saying they were careless.
IMO, both. Back to point one.
Ian Shlasko wrote:
In Full Reserve Banking, 100% of the money deposited into the bank has to STAY in the bank. Can't loan out even $50 worth of customer money. That's the very definition.
This is partially incorrect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-reserve_banking[^] To quote: The reserve ratio of all banks operating in such a system would be 100%, making the deposit multiplier equal to one (1xM=M). This contrasts with fractional-reserve banking, in which the bank would hold only a fraction of all client deposits as reserves with the remainder used to supply loans and create credit. I understand that this means none of the depositor's money would be lent out, as you said, but don't forget about capital injected from other sources (loans to the bank, equity, etc). So there would be some lending going on, just not from its depositors.

Oh, and I think a lot of banks made those sub-prime loans... It's just that most of them had enough other investments to make up for the losses, so they didn't need TARP money.

Oh we've been over the corruption aspect yesterday (talked about fascism, and they're denying it). I didn't talk about that specificially, but that's a really good point, and just chalk it up to one more reason why we are living in a fascist state. But nobody wants to listen to you, because you're crazy. Honestly, they're the ones living with a belief system, just as if they really were religious about "keynesianism" or something to that effect. But I have Ian almost totally agreeing with the points here, so that's a great start.

Firstly, CSS, Blink text? lol Terrible. Secondly, I just watched it. It's pretty much the case in point of the whole thing we've been talking about. A) Crash is inevitable. B) Our governement (nevermind EVERY government EVER to exist) is corrupt. C) We're the largest debtor nation in the world. D) We got off the gold standard. We will have hyperinflation, because of the crash, and countries will dump the dollar. But let everyone continue to sleep, it feels good to be in a delta wave state. (pretty much a pun... the state has us in a delta wave state... lol I crack me up.)

It's a video, so it must be good, right ? Did you know that studies of brain activity have proven you learn far more from reading than from watching video ? Well, people capable of learning do, YMMV.

Déjà vu[^]. It's déjà vu[^], all over again. Reprise: It is a video made by a bullion company[^] extolling a currency backed by gold, i.e., propaganda. It is better produced than the other bullion propaganda video you posted (something about inflation), the script is well written, and the main narrator is John Stanton, an experienced Ozzie actor, whose voice lends conviction and authority. However, no analysis is made of the problems that would be encountered with a gold backed currency, together with a proposed solution for each. That is what makes it propaganda. How can I put this kindly? Your intellectual development appears to have stalled around 6th grade. Consequently, any video that you can understand is likely to be too simplistic to be of interest to the rest of us.

Every time you post, you reveal your ignorance. Can you spot your mistake? There is nothing wrong in holding gold as a crisis hedge; and in uncertain times like these, it is a good idea to hold some (in its physical form and readily accessible). But first, you should stock up on supplies, water, etc. You would be surprised at how much gold you would be prepared to part with just to stay alive.

But you, too, appear 'religious' in your beliefs. I am an economic atheist. Keynesians are like Christians. They work their 'wonders' and 'prophesy' in Keynes name, but he would never know them.

"But nobody wants to listen to you, because you're crazy. Honestly, they're the ones living with a belief system, just as if they really were religious about "keynesianism" or something to that effect." It's called sarcasm. Maybe I should have stated it like this: But nobody wants to listen to you, "because you're crazy". Honestly, they're the ones living with a belief system, just as if they really were religious about "keynesianism" or something to that effect. Does that get the point across better? I've held our position all day for two days straight in three threads. I'm not backing down, I feel I've studied this stuff enough to know what I'm talking about.

I disagree. I think I've backed up the reasons as to why pretty well at this point.
