    which is the exact reason why these people are getting payed this much money.


    The answer was Insurance companies. Any idea why

    But who is to say that these city workers would know that either.

    People claimed on their insurance maybe

    Q, you misunderstand, I am not saying because there is pressure in every other job that you can understand the exact nature they face, but I am saying everyone in every job faces pressure, so it is not unique to your trader.

    Phil, when your job causes pressure because the wrong decision might mean your company loses half a BILLION, I'd say it's the sort of pressure few of us can understand. I'd want A LOT of money to bear that pressure day in and day out.

    Oh what the hell :wall:

    No, but they earn 10's of thousands in extras.

    No, surely not! Whole tens of thousands!? Merely for making their company several tens of millions?

    Lazy good for nothin's eh?

    You would have to pay me thousands just to travel into London everyday. I really could think of hardly anything worse especially on a hot hot day.

    How about having your tongue stapled to a [STRIKE]Bombay[/STRIKE] Mumbai taxi drivers flip flop for all eternity?

    America is coverd by about 5 big insurance companies (much like The Uk is insured by Lloyds)

    All 5 of these companies had insured not just the producers but the services that suround this business.

    It is not just against accidents that insurance is for it is for hundreds of different things

    They also insure the rest of america.

    All of the sudden they have to payout billions of $. The shareholders take note and start selling their shares at anything so not to lose out on their stock values. The rest of america then starts either cancelling payments or demanding their money 400,000,000 want their money that doesn't exist you are in big do do

    This all happens in the markets in a matter of minuets. You don't have time to research the history and

    Now do you sell your clients shares and cut your losses or do you have the balls to tell them hold on to the shares and start buying them like mad?
