You Would Expect To See That First

My Guess Is The Big Chinese Banks Will Be In 100 countries By Then. They Will Have Very Sophisticated Operations, And They May Very Well Have Bought Banks Around The World In Countries That Allow It. I Mean, I Don't Think The American Government Would Allow Them To Buy Jpmorgan. But They Will Be Able To Buy A Sizable Big Bank In The U.s. At Some Point. Whether They Do Or Not, Or If It's Allowed Or Not, I Don't Know.

You've Seen Certain Credit Type Products That Are Going To Be In Nonbanks, Like Sophisticated Clo [collateralized Loan Obligation] Tranches And Stuff Where The Capital Charge Is So High That A Bank Simply Will Not Own It. Someone Will Buy It, Hedge It, Trade It. But It Won't Typically Be A Bank.

Our Global Corporate Investment Bank Competes With Goldman Sachs, Citibank, And A Bunch Of Other Banks That Are In Those Businesses. We May Have Slightly Different Products Or Services, But So What? That's Always Been True In American Business.

If You Talk To Anyone Involved In Business - Forget Banks And Big Business - Talk To Small Businesses - Do It Yourself, Don't Ask Me - They'll Tell You It's Crippling.

I Believe It's A Good Thing That People Say, "can We Find A Way To Live Together In Peace?" And They Did, For The Most Part.
