Eu não sei se Luís Campos Cunha acabou por explicar como se ataca o problema nos bancos, onde, segundo ele, reside o problema.
.
E, indiscutivelmente, se não está lá o problema todo, está lá a maior parte.
Em dia de Inauguration, o fantasma da derrocada pairou para lá do entusiasmo popular. Que fará Obama amanhã quando acordar cansado das festas e o Dow Jones estiver a cair imparavelmente?
.
O encerramento de Wall Street por uns dias poderá ser o balde água fria que falta despejar sobre as cabeças sobreaquecidas para travar o delírio. Mas não resolve o problema.
Gordon Brown sugere que o sigam. E avançou para a nacionalização camuflada do Royal Bank of Scotand. Para já.

Não sei se era este o caminho em que pensava LCC. Mas não vislumbro outro.

Fears About Banks
NEW YORK, Jan. 20 -- New doubts about the health of major banks triggered sharp losses on Wall Street Tuesday, with the Dow Jones industrial average shedding 4 percent and the Nasdaq and Standard & Poor's 500 stock index plunging more than 5 percent.
Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase and Citigroup fell to fresh lows, leading the Dow down 332 points to 7949 points, its worst closing level since Nov. 20.
The S&P 500 lost 45 points to close at 805 points, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq ended 88 points lower at 1441 points.
"The problem is first and foremost in the financial sector and it's spreading out in all other manners," said Richard Cripps, chief investment officer at Stifel Nicolaus in Baltimore. "It's just hard to think about trying to own stocks if we can't get the banking system on some kind of solid footing, and it seems to be on anything but that at the moment."
The Royal Bank of Scotland moved a step closer toward full government control in Britain over the weekend, renewing worries about the stability of banks around the globe. Meanwhile, State Street, the largest money manager for institutional investors such as pensions and mutual funds, jolted the market when it said paper losses on bond investments had climbed from $3.3 billion on Sept. 30 to $6.3 billion at the end of December.

Boa noite.
Fechar por uns dias?
E fechar por um mês ou dois? Ou de vez?
O que acontece(ria)?
António, bom dia!
"O que acontece(ria)?"
Não sei.
A ideia de fechar a bolsa por uns dias para arrefecer os ânimos (ou para aos aquecer, consoante o ponto de vista) não é minha.
Em todo o caso penso que as bolsas têm um peso excessivo na actividade económica. Quer queiramos quer não, nas actuais circunstâncias, a bolsa tornou-se em grande medida num Casino.
Poderemos passar bem sem casinos?
Eu passo.
