Mr.Rastani City Stock Trader told BBC.``i go to bed every night and dream of another recession``
When asked if the euro zone bail out would workout he answered.``I am a trader we do not care if they fix the economy or not our job is to make money out of it all``
He added ``Governments can not sort these things out and they think they rule the world.Goldman Sachs rules the world``
Other Fat Cats and Facebook think he is a hero.
Says it all really!

Indeed, why should life be fair...Just as long as life can get unfair for this one as well as that, that will do me.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

According to me, they go to bed every night and sleep on a cushion full of bank notes. They dream, yes, of filling up the more cushions with bank notes.
Fat cats and speculators of sorts, according to my view, have a phsychic disturbance; there definitely is an illness called "hoarding money and getting richer beyond reason."

The man is a prat, plain and simple.
A good fund manager will work to turn a falling market to the longer term advantage of his clients and it is absolutely right they should and there are some who are very good at it. This idiot is no 'star' manager and is no more than an egotistic self-publicising also ran who is not representative and deserves contempt.
I jest mr mcsweeney....however, some things niggle in this day and age
It has occcurred to me many times, living in these particular decades...and looking at past history.....the collectiveness of Man...follows various fashions....
It used to be power of office, land ownership, indeed even packs of hounds....etc.etc.
Without people thinking I have got an obsession with him...ie political choices etc........Mr Tony Blair has gathered riches beyond the normal Man, in the name of improving peoples lives etc.....a complete con to stack his nest full of money notes......
In years gone by......have a look at our goodly town....people who made money, put it back into their community or were true to themselves in improving other peoples lives................now we just have greed and isolation.

People have not changed Charlie - there have always been many kinds of people, good and bad, many, the vast majority do a lot of good with their money.

So Keith, do you then not think that the manager looking after your pension money should be working to minimise your losses when the market falls and achieve an improved return when it rises again? Or do you think this prat is a star manager?
Surely you would agree with the other paragraph too.

the principle of your post i would share,
but still in todays society where we are all supposed to be in this together, where managers pay themselves vast amounts of dosh some even when they badly fail.
over the years even in local govt i was told we had to pay dovers chief executive over a hundred grand.
dover has big issues and paying this guy and about 20/30 guys below him vast amounts has not helped dover thats for everyone to see.
but thats just one example, duplicate that across the country and look at the savings that could be made.
i do fee; its right to sensibly reward people who do well, but not over inflated wages, whilst the workforce is being destroyed thats hard to take.
a boss that has the cheek on say £100,000 a year telling its workforce on say £10,000 that he cant afford to pay a payrise, and he won't be getting on, is a cheek in itself, the guy can afford a short term no rise, but those at the bottom this is not the case.
also what usually happens is when the country picks up the guy on £100,000 says oh didnt have pay rise so has a double pay rise that year to make up for it.
so doesnt usually lose out.
the guy on £10,000 still just has to struggle on

Remuneration is based on the market costs Keith. You cant have it both ways, complain about high wages while at the same time claiming employers only want to pay the minimum. It is the market that dictates not you or any government. An awful lot of business people have taken an income cut or even no income in these times. I see that, often unspoken about, side of things as well. Times are tough for businesses and a lot of sacrifices get made by a lot of different people.

your argument is a little baffling, but i think i understan what your viewpoint is, not one i completely share, there is this big divide that has got bigger over the years for some reason encouraged by all governments.
im all for rewarding those that do well as i say, but not over inflated rises
and if employers get these big rewards then theworkforce itself should also benefit
which often it doesn't.

good point from mr norman, philanthropists are few and far between, bill gates being a prime exception.
in victorian times it was considered by the filthy rich a duty to build such things as hospitals, libraries, museums etc.

#1. What a very silly, greedy and selfish man, I hope he learns what the real world is like very soon.

With Cameron`s policies,many `U`turned,which are not balanced/fair and not conducive to be `All in this together`there was no chance of his `Big Society`
Ed`s `Get rid of the Fast Buck Society`has some mileage in it.We need it to try to achieve a `We are all in this together Society`

Big Government has failed here and all over Europe and we are paying the price Reg.
Milliminor's inane speech offered no solutions and he and the kind of government style he represents has none only more of the same kind of policy that got us into this mess.

barryw;
if we ever get to a position of moving away from the them and us approach then i might have some sympathy with your posting.
but until then we still have this divided society

In some people's minds Keith. I do not see that at all.
