Speaking today at a news conference on derivatives, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) raised the possibility of proposing an amendment to Sen. Blanche Lincoln’s (D-Ark.) derivatives reform proposal that might force banks to separate their commercial and investment banking functions.
“I’m a purist,” Cantwell said, in response to a question regarding whether she supported the Volcker Rule (a proposal by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker to ban “proprietary trading,” effectively banning any bank with federal backing from speculating with its own money). “If you want to take fuel out of the fire, I would also personally say that you should break up the big banks and not have investing and commercial banking in the same bucket. I will offer that amendment on the floor.”
The portions on derivatives trading offer a more specific iteration of that same idea. Section 106 of Lincoln’s derivatives reform proposal bans banks from receiving “federal assistance (including federal deposit insurance, and access to the Federal Reserve discount window)” if they contain desks that trade swaps, one currently unregulated type of derivative.
Cantwell, who did not clarify when asked a follow-up, seemed to indicate that her amendment hopes to go further — preventing banks from forgoing federal backing if they deal not only in swaps, but in any sort of speculative trading. This winter, Cantwell and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) were due to propose a return to the Glass-Steagall rules, rescinded in 1999, that prevented combined commercial and investment banks. But that provision has not made it into the final bill.

Yes. Now we might see a return to the economic stability that kept us prosperous until Reagan wrecked it.

Or perhaps a return to the prosperity of the Reagan era by returning the banking industry to a solid foundation. Building an economy on Credit Default Swaps is (to use an arcane economic term) stoopid.

In fact, it is the second time in the period of two years that a TAG Heuer timekeeping creation has been given the celebrated award. The Monaco Caliber followed the success of the brand's Professional Golf Watch that gained the iF Design Award for 2006, also in the Rolex SubmarinerLeisure/Lifestyle category. It is noteworthy that the award-winner was designed in close cooperation with Tiger Woods.
Rolex Submariner
The iF Design Award is not the only victory recently achieved by Tag Heuer. In November, 2006 the Carrera Calibre 360 Limited Edition, featuring accuracy at the 1/100th of a second, won the coveted Grand Prix de l'Horlogerie de Geneve in the category Sports Watch. The both awards have once again strengthened Tag Heuer's prestigious status of the brand highly appreciated for creative avant-garde design decisions. The brand keep devoted to its well-known motto – 'Swiss Avant-Garde since 1860'.Rolex Submariner

Tag Heuer's Concept Chronograph
The matchless Monaco Calibre 360 LS Concept Chronograph was initially launched into the horology world at BaselWorld in April, 2006. The timepiece reflects the new step in the evolution of the brand's Calibre 360 chronograph movement. The mechanical movement, a genius mechanism, has become the first ever to enter the horology history as a timekeeping device that guarantees absolute precision of 1/100th of a second. The timepiece is also distinguished due to another world innovation – a Linear Second for the permanent second.
