  • Oh so clever once again.

  • @AnnoyedDragon yes,yes,yes!

  • It's all the more absurd when you come to realize that the money the bank loaned in exchange for the bond, doesn't in fact exist.

    it was just a figure typed into a computer at the time the "loan" was made, the bank creating its "loan" money out of thin air.

  • Still top-rated in the satirical political commentator category.

  • Brilliant stuff - I loved it!

  • At 5% interest-rate and 2% inflation it takes 25a to double the money "invested". The banks have had way more time without a default. They will still have gotten money even after a 100% default. I don't call that unsafe. If you lend money to a country that has more than 150% GDP in debt you ought to know there is some risk.

  • So many quotable lines as always, fantastic work gentlemen.

  • haha: "Do you have risk management?"

    "well there's a dartboard in the foyer..."
