Will the disappearance of investment banks affect the trading permanently ?

Quote from Aaron Copland:

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.

START SELLING OPTIONS WHILE THERE ARE STILL BUYERS.

Not necessarily. Hedge funds will take over the positions of the big IBs.

Most hedge funds don't have the inherent edges that investment banks do (e.g. customer orders, seeing 2-way flow in OTC markets etc, having diversified revenue streams, access to massive leverage and financing, ear with the Fed/Treasury, ability to issue stock etc).
 
Plenty of other markets to trade. Equities will not be the game.

Futures, Comds, Euro/Emerging Markets, Currency.....

A lot of things to trade, just not US public held Companies.

Quote from 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 ?

JP Morgan took over and has Bear Stearns

Barclay's and others took over Lehman's IB units...

Goldman and Morgan didn't go anywhere

Royal Bank of Scotland, Credit Suisse, UBS and most other international IBs are unchanged.
