The Demise of the Shadow Banking System and of the Broker Dealers: Some Media Appearances

Sep 15, 2008 4:07PM

I discussed in detail over the weekend the Lehman and Merrill crisis and explained why - as I argued months ago - the remaining broker dealers (now only Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs being left) will go bust unless they merge with a financial institution that has a stable base of insured deposits. The business model of broker dealers is fundamentally broken and cannot be fixed. I elaborated in detail in a series of interviews yesterday and today on these views. Here are below the links to these interviews.

Here is a link to my July interview on Tech Ticker ("They're All Toast': Roubini Says Brokers, Even Goldman, Can't Stay Independent") where I predicted the demise of all of the independent broker dealers.

Here is a link to my longish interview on Bloomberg TV on Sunday night where I argued that all of the independent broker dealers (Bear in March, Lehman and Merrill today; and Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs soon enough) will disappear as their business model is flawed and as they are all at severe risk of bank-like runs on their extremely short term liabilities.

Here is a link to my (shortish as I was cut off while talking) interview on CNBC on Sunday night where I predicted the demise of all of the independent broker dealers (including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs after Bear, Lehman and Merrill).
