    ...and Elvis and JFK teamed up for the 9/11 attacks...



    Chancellor: David Icke.



    Elvis and JFK --- not mentioned them -- although I have read a lot about JFK and am undecided on that one -- mind you -- what did LB Johnson do when JFK was out of the way -- he escalated the war in Vietnam and every time a B52 dropped it`s load someone back in the States went ker ching kerching -- and MLK was trying to get the war stopped !! --- Elvis --- well it was great pity that his management didn`t give him more help I suppose and keep him out of trouble -- I wasn`t a fan of his music but the whole thing was tragic !!


    David Icke --- have watched some of his stuff and read his stuff --- most of it is far fetched and I don`t subscribe to him


    Look --- you really need to google Jane Stanford -- it`s isn`t theory -- it`s fact


    google Dr William Pepper --- he proved that James Earl Ray did not fire the fatal shot which killed Martin Luther King

    OK --- you are a banker --- how do banks make money --- the banking system was started by the jewish people...

    ...I admire what you have done -- but my university was the university of life

    Oh, so we get to the real nub of the complaint no w. Always the same people at the end, isn't it?

    Anyway, as to specifics, I make money by market-making interest rate derivatives (among other things) so that people can hedge their risks, or speculate, or some mixture of the two. I charge a little under a hundredth of a basis point from "mid", but do it in sufficient size that it all adds up to a decent amount over time. I don't lend money.

    On the second point, I too attended the "university of life", and learned much from it. Fortunately I also attended the University of Oxford, where I learned a great many things also.

    So are you an independent adviser ? I don`t really understand the interest rate derivatives market --- what is your success ratio and would you do business with an oik like myself and could I use my pension fund money to invest for instance ?


    It has been a healthy debate -- I have my opinions and others have theirs and thank god we have freedom of speech otherwise life would be very very tedious !!!
