Will the disappearance of investment banks affect the trading permanently ?

[joesan]

Well, since this is a trading BBS, I want to raise some question related to trading and the current happenings.

Big investment banks will vanish from now on, ( or will they ?), will this fact affect the trading activity around the world ? Will it change the structure of the market and hence the characteristic of the market movement ?

No more short squeeze, just a plan old boring market. Sideways for year and years.

Had the goverment let the market sort this out we would have had a big fall in the stock indexes.

We would have had a recession for sure, but thats ok. People would have been able to buy stock very cheep, but now were just going to muddle along for decades.
