Question: Leading money center banks in the United States have accelerated their intesanou banking activities all over the globe in recent years, purchasing corporate debt securities and stock from their business customers and reselling those securities to investors in the open market. Is this a desirable move by banking organizations from a profit standpoint? From a risk stand-point? From the public interest point of view? How would you research these questions? If you were managing a corporation that had placed large deposits with a bank engaged in such activities, would you be concerned about the risk to your company's funds? Why or why not?
