I suspect he was a cleaner like in the film Wall Street and gained inside information. Its the only way someone who posts such cretinous drivel could make any money. Or maybe the money thing is a lie too.

were you a cleaner?Originally posted by sasguru View PostThose of us who worked in the City in the late 90s, early 2000s had it good. Didn't like working there anyway but it did fund my first BTLs. They should nuke the place and start again.

Plenty of thickies in the city. As you continually prove.Originally posted by sasguru View PostThe City is not London and neither is London the City.
But what would some thick provincials know about that
Thankfully I have worked with quite a few good eggs - though there have been more of your ilk.
I am just pleased to be out of it now - hedge funds are far better.

wooo yeah sock it to the man.....Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostING firing 2350. Announced this morning after apparently unsatisfactory rise in profits.
CEO says ''Het is pijnlijk om vandaag zulke maatregelen te moeten aankondigen'', or 'it is painful to have to announce these measures today'. Painful, sure, you lying piece of tulip. OK, maybe it is necessary, but don't go saying it's 'painful'; it's painful for the people lose their jobs and have to wonder how to pay the bills, not for the man who gets millions in bonusses for making them unemployed.

Someone told me recently that property did worse than stocks during the depression. But I have not been able to find any evidence to back that up.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostWhich is why the smart money is on owning tangible assets rather than money in a bank.
Property (around the world), land, Gold, art, bonds, stocks etc.
Money in the bank =

Was it Rothschild who said that financiers are more important than politicians?Originally posted by sasguru View PostThey should nuke the place and start again.
With fractional reserve banking the only way forward is ever increasing money supply. Which goes via the city. Destroy that and you will bring the whole country down.
The only way out is inflation.
