Here's How Trump Should Approach Banking Deregulation
Donald Trump campaigned on taking the axe to what he sees as the main impediments of America's growth prospects.
During the campaign, two industries were cited as being ripe for deregulation: banking and energy.
But judging by the sheer number of banking executives Trump has tapped for cabinet positions, it's banking's sprawling regulatory regime that's likely first on the chopping block.
What Trump said on the campaign trail versus what he's saying now – and what his cabinet picks are likely telling him – will have a huge impact on how this goal is achieved, and what – if any – upside there is for investors.
Here's how I see "Government Sachs" playing it...

Why This CEO Wants to Cancel Earnings Season Forever
This didn't exactly make the news, but in July, financial chieftains, including Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett, BlackRock's Larry Fink, and JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon, got together to talk corporate governance practices.
A noncontroversial topic, right?

Nevertheless, the group released nine-page paper, "Commonsense Corporate Governance Principles."
And in it we have a clue as to just what it is that has these titans of finance so divided…
What's more, if these guidelines are widely adopted, investing will change, for everyone from JPMorgan on down to individual investors.
And most likely not at all for the better...

Big Banks Could Implode Before They're Broken Up
Common sense and self-preservation tell you not to tangle with wounded animals; you're liable to get bitten… or worse.
And when that animal happens to be, say, nearly all of the "Too Big to Fail" banks in the country, everyone can get hurt.
That's exactly what's happening now. As you'll see, it resembles nothing less than a hungry snake eating its own tail, or a financial catch-22.
They benefit from central bank support, but the central banks are dangerously raising their risk profile. They thrive on capitalism, but competition is killing them. They need smart regulation, but they're getting tough regulation instead.
These are all serious problems that, by accident and design, are setting the global economy up for a system shock that will rival the financial crisis of 2008.
Make no mistake, these banks need to be curbed for our good, but that needs to happen in an orderly, systemic fashion.
These banks need breaking up, but it can't happen like this...
