dc.description.abstract | Between 2007 and 2008, it was a difficult period to financial institutions. The first financial crisis began in 2007 when the subprime mortgage crisis had begun. As a result of the impact, the Bear Stearns Companies, the fifth-largest investment bank in the United States, disclosed that two subprime mortgage funds had failed and was subsequently sold to JPMorgan Chase. However, none of the banks or financial institutions involved with the subprime mortgage all around the world was spared from this financial crisis. The loss was disastrous.
Looking back then, Taiwan Stock Exchange Weighted Index (TWSE) came to 9000 points, but less than six months, in early 2008 it fell over 2000 points and ended at around 7000. In other words, it indicated that the market value had lost nearly six trillion New Taiwan dollar.
The second financial crisis took place 2008 when Lehman Brothers Holdings, the largest bank in the United States then, declared bankruptcy. The global stock market collapsed. At the end of 2008, Taiwan Stock Exchange Weighted Index (TWSE) had just around 4000 points. What after effect, however, has this kind of crisis has brought? For example, Iceland was bankrupt; global unemployment rate reached a new high, at 5.75%; even Citigroup stock fell to US$1. Several small or medium size organizations in Taiwan collapsed and all business fell in depression.
When we review and look into this tremendous global financial crisis, we have discovered one of the important factors. That is the financial operating leverage long taken by the financial industry with financial trading products. This method causes a minimum of 1 or 2 times of financial losses which can reach up to 100 or 200 times in a more serious situation.
