9 Biggest Banks’ Derivative Exposure – $228.72 Trillion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Note the little man standing in front of white house. The little worm next to lastfootball field is a truck with $2 billion dollars.
\nThere is no government in the world that has this kind of money. This is roughly 3 times the entire world economy. The unregulated market presents a massive financial risk. The corruption and immorality of the banks makes the situation worse.If you don’t want to banks with these banks, but want to have access to free ATM’s anywhere– most Credit Unions in USA are in the CO-OP ATM network<\/a>, where all ATM’s are free to any COOP CU member and most support depositing checks. The Credit Unions are like banks, but invest all their profits to give members lower rates and better service. They don’t have shareholders to worry about or have derivatives to purchase and sell.Keep an eye out in the news for “derivative crisis”, as the crisis is inevitable with current falling value of most real assets.
