      im pretty sure only when the funds are physically requested by a receiver of a check from said checking account, otherwise it would still be considered reserve for the bank, someone please correct me if im wrong

      I take it that when the checking accounts are issued, the amonunt of money they are issued for technically leaves the bank…?

      so does that mean that it is always better to have as less leverage as possible. Or else, what is the ‘percieved safe value of a leverage’?

      So basically leverage is neither good nor bad because it is just a measure. It’s a measure of the risk/reward strategy being employed at a bank.

      Very true!

      just to share with everyone - I saw a series of views on Youtube titled “Crash of 2008″ back in March 2008 - where this former market maker made exactly the same point. Recommended

      US banking system is not having a liquidity problem as the government suggested thru the media. It is having a solvency problem.
