I posted this on another thread (no response from the Bullish), it is a genuine question as FA is not my thing.

"The thing I don't understand is how will Banks report these hedge fund losses? The way I see it they should be written off against their profits..... so a bank with a loss of $2b loss should deduct this loss from what ever they make... won't that effect their share price, and won't that effect the share market when the banks start to do this enmass....?"
