Checking accounts
In the United States, checking accounts are available only at commercial banks. Commercial banks specialize in demand deposits, such as checking accounts. A checking account is money that a customer deposits in order to use that money to write checks. Saving accounts pay the depositor interest but checking accounts do not. In fact, checking account customers pay the bank a service charge for the bookkeeping involved in administering the account.
The method of recordkeeping is also different in savings accounts and checking accounts. A depositor must present his passbook for any savings account transaction. The bank records these transactions in the depositor's passbook. Checking account customers, however, do not have passbooks. They themselves record the amounts of the checks that they write and they receive a monthly statement from the bank. This statement lists all the checks that the bank paid and all deposits that the account holder made during the month. The bank usually sends the statements with the customer's cancelled checks. The customer then compares the balance on the statement with the balance in his own records by subtracting the total of his outstanding checks.
There are other fees that the bank may collect from checking account holders. For instance, banks charge a fee for stopping payment to a check. When a depositor decides that be doesn't want the bank to pay a payee, but he bas already written a check to that person, he may give the bank a stop payment order. The bank will then refuse to pay this check, and charges the depositor a fee. 'Banks also charge a depositor a fee when he is overdrawn. A depositor is overdrawn when he writes a check for more money than the balance in his account: The bank marks the check "insufficient funds", returns it, and charges a penalty for it. In everyday language we say that a check returned for insufficient funds has "bounced".
Recent changes in banking regulations have allowed savings banks to offer negotiable order of withdrawal accounts. These accounts, called N. O. W. accounts, are very similar to checking accounts but they pay interest like savings accounts. The depositor can write withdrawal orders against the balance in the account. These withdrawal orders look like checks, and depositors receive a monthly statement summarizing deposits and withdrawals. There is often no service charge if depositors keep a minimum balance in their accounts. Commercial banks also offer N. O. W. accounts.
As far as checking accounts go, the difference between savings banks and commercial banks is growing smaller in the U. S.

Keep an Eye on CEOs
Government policy decisions could speed or slow the pace of rehabilitation for the banks, and (31) turn, the stock market. David A. Hendler, a New York-based bank analyst at Credit-Sights, says his job has shifted from financial analysis toward Washington analysis. Essentially, his task is to figure (32) how quickly the government will permit weak banks to consolidate. When investors believe (33) know which banks will survive, they'll buy their stocks. The process is (34) critical to the stock market that Richard Bernstein, chief investment strategist at Merrill Lynch, is tracking six signposts for financial industry consolidation. Among them: the extent to which the government carves up and sells bad banks rather than buying into them to prop them (35) Other strategists are keeping a close eye on the people who really know what's happening in the economy: business leaders. Biderman says he'll know corporations are getting confident (36) they start buying back their own shares and acquiring other companies. Right now they show no such bravado. Announcements of share buybacks are down 90% from a year ago, leaving that market thermometer so cold that the mercury is off the scale.
In the end, the timing of the bear's retreat (37) likely hinge on that great market imponderable: psychology. How investors feel has a lot to do with (38) they start seeing mixed signals as proof of a glass half-full. "The market stress causes the analytical part of our brains to shut down, and that makes us hyperreactive (39) bad news, "says Michael A.

Only (40) they see that they've overacted can things improve: "We look for the market to start saying tomorrow will be brighter."

(Diversification of Risk through Financial Intermediation) In an economy, there are many independent and identically distributed projects, that is, each project requires $10m of investment and pays back in a year of either $15m with probability 90% or $0m (fails) with probability 10%, while the payout of each project does not depend on the payout of other projects. a) What is the expected rate of return on each project, what is the standard deviation of rate of return? Note: The rate of return refers to net rate of return. b) Suppose a bank is to invest in two such projects, what is the payout structure of the investment? That is, lay out the possible outcomes and the probability of each outcome. What is the mean and standard deviation of the rate of return on this investment? c) What is the mean and standard deviation of the rate of return if a bank is to investment in N projects? What happens if N goes to infinity (N→∞)? d) Suppose the banks in this economy are competitive, what is maximu rate of return a bank can offer on the one-year fixed time deposit if the bank has sufficient fund to invest, i.e. N→∞ ? e) If a risk averse investor has $10m and he can either invest in one project or buy the one-year Certificate Deposit (CD, fixed time deposit) with the maximum rate of return offered by the bank. He is risk averse, with expected utility function as , where is his consumption at the end of year 1 (the consumer may not know the value at the beginning of the year). Suppose he will only consume at the end of year one and will consume whatever he has at that time. At the beginning of the year, will he invest in CD or the project to maximize his expected utility? f) Suppose the project in part a) is the only type of project in this economy, and a fund manager tell you that his fund can offer you an investment opportunity with promised return of 30% in a year and no risk. Would you want to invest? Why and why not?
