[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Did anyone watch this?

The greedy self-serving parasites who currently inhabit the banking world, could learn much from the victorian philanthropists who went before them.....

Your talking about millions of people globally.How can you tar them all with the same brush ? FFS ! 

Some of them are still good people - fact.

Indeed, Albs, You're quite right.

I saw the programme and thought it well put together.

Whilst Opti is on about self-serving parasites, perhaps he needs to turn his attention to the political classes, who have played no small part in the financial crisis.

Nick and Albs. I just knew that you would be the first to respond to this thread.... However, I value your opinions all the same...

question: how do the bankers earn money ?

[albitz]

Buying / selling shares,commodities,futures etc. Also many other types of transactions.

I watched and found it very interesting.

IMHO, "we" have lost our way: ethically, societally, fiscally and politically....but, what "we" can do about it now......the Lord-only knows!

ok.. let me explain briefly not going in mind boggling details..
 
simply they take from you (you is community) , give you a small interest.. and loan you (community) with a higher interest.. and the difference goes to their pocket..
 
this is called capitalism

I wish he'd let on, Debs! 

Fascinating programme, especially the part about the Gurneys.

question: how do the bankers earn money ?

I don`t think they do actually 'earn' money; it`s mostly gambling (with other people`s money) and usury.

[albitz]

That Cem may be true of High street banking. Investment banking is something quite different.

definitely Debs
 
the key is here , they are strong people and well positioned at the head of a bridge
 
and they dont really produce and goods.. 
 
so in reality the banks must belong to community, not to anyone else !

I cant think of a possible way of making money which doesnt involve gambling.
Personally,Im tempted to gamble a few bob on Thomas Cook shares at the moment.

Investment banks dont take deposits and hold them as such, and dont pay interest on bank accounts etc.
Pension funds and the like deposit their funds with them to have them invested on the markets,and largely speaking,historcally it has been a brilliant system.
