Discussion about
Finance-overhaul bill seen reshaping Wall Street Legislation passed by the Senate Thursday is seen as the most comprehensive in decades covering the financial industry; banks fear their profits will be crimped. :: http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20100521/FREE/100529971/1048 "he Senate bill's provisions could cut the profits of the largest U.S. banks by 13%, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a May 17 report. The biggest impact would come from stricter rules on derivatives and the powers of a new consumer agency to write regulations affecting mortgage fees and other financial products. Each of those provisions would hurt bank incomes by 4%, Goldman analysts estimated."

13% Is that the value of the low cust funding/guarantee top 5 u.s. banks receive or the transfer payment that occurs when main street overpays for derivatives. I'm all for a strong Wall Street but some of their profits are coming at the expense of the greater economy.

interesting to see that goldman said only 13% after all the claims that regulating wall street would kill nyc. if 13% is the downside, sounds well worth taking it.

Not sure if 13% is correct or equally representative across the top 5. Goldman has turned themselves into a giant prop desk/hedge fund.
