Indeed, the phrase “casino banking” tends to ignore the fact that casinos have a rather good handle on their returns. They are typically very astute at risk management, unlike many of the banks that dramatically increased their leverage – and thus their risks – during the last 20 years.
也许这一类比是对那些轮盘赌徒的巨大侮辱。确实，“赌场银行业”这一表述忽视了赌场对其收益情况有着相当不错的控制这一事实。他们往往在风险管理方面非常精明，在这一点上，他们不同于许多在过去二十年间显著增加其杠杆（由此也增加其风险）的银行。
