Volcker's Call for Adequate Capital Behind Derivatives to be Debated at Golden Networking's Derivatives Leaders Forum 2010 on July 22nd

New York, NY, June 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The United States government should not stand behind banks that mix their trading with their banking activities, former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker told CNBC Monday. "If you don't have this rule [known as the Volcker rule or Volcker plan], what stops any financial institution from buying a bank, saying I'm a bank and getting a banking license, mixing up their trading activities with their banking activities," said Volcker, as he discussed financial reform, now being debated in Congress, including derivatives. Volcker is chairman of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, under Obama.

The Volcker rule, Paul Volcker's idea to restrict banks from making certain types of speculative investments, such as trading derivatives, if those investments aren't in their customers' interests, will be a hotly debated topic at Golden Networking's Derivatives Leaders Forum 2010, "Strategies for Increasing Profits under an Evolving Regulatory Framework."
