Thanks, John Herman. I will answer that with an oblique question which
is
also a genuine request for information.
Am I right in assuming that a bank can only go "bust" if it lends too much and
too unwisely, so that its assets (its loans and the secutiries they are based on)
are faulty, so that it owes to other banks with which the deposits resulting have
been lodged more than it has available in reserves?
This seems to be a meaning of the information I am citing.
Regards. John R.
