If this is the death of Wall Street as we know it, can we say the same about derivatives?

Unwinding a big derivatives book is no easy task - like Hell, derivatives are easy to enter and impossible to exit. That's why the failure of a firm the size of Lehman presents such a risk to the financial system – we don't know how many other firms will be brought down as the body is extracted from the financial web.

The philosophy that underpins the growth of derivatives is the idea that risk can be transferred to institutions more able to take the strain. In theory, it's a terrific scheme – the weak can get rid of risks they can't handle, and the financial system should be stronger as a result. And this what happening now. So future is still there for derivatives.
