    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.

    Plenty of thickies in the city. As you continually prove.

    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.

    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.

    Was it Rothschild who said that financiers are more important than politicians?

    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.
