-->As of the end of 2Q the wonderful folks that make up the US banking system had on their books $96.2 trillion in notional derivatives values. There is simply no question that we'll top $100 trillion for the first time ever when 3Q numbers are reported. Total US banking system derivatives exposure has now doubled in the last four years. At the pace we've been going for the past decade, it's been a doubling of exposure about every four to four and one half years. Is it really conceivable that by the year 2009 we'll be looking at a US banking system with $200 trillion in notional derivatives exposure? Simply hard to imagine. The uninterrupted bull market of all bull markets, right? You better believe it is.
