Restriction on proprietary trading and not allowing the banks to use public deposits for trading is a step in the right direction.<br /><br />• Banks should be restricted to accepting public deposits and lending them to the actual users. They should not be allowed to indulge in trading for speculation. The size of speculative financial institutions should be restricted so that they are not able to pose any risk to the main economy.<br /> <br />• Reduce the role of Derivatives and CDS to hedging by making it a prerequisite to own the underlying asset in order to take a derivative position on it. The margins for derivative trading too should be increased substantially so that it discourages speculation. This will also result in limiting the derivative positions to the quantity of the underlying asset.Akhil Khannahttp://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article17704.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14963913.post-39049415896130636482010-04-07T10:49:29.548-04:002010-04-07T10:49:29.548-04:00headline:
