Too Big to Fail", has become a phrase associated with the banking industry and even gave rise to a film on the financial crisis of 2007-2009. Here are some questions you may discuss and comment on (See the links under Resources below for additional information):
Do you think that with all the regulations in place now, including the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, and the recent changes to the act, we can avoid another major financial bail-out?
Can you identify the REAL "TOO BIG TO FAIL" institution that caused the very big problem?
Were the banks' problems caused by derivatives? Interest rate risk? Other factors?
