Lifestyle Destination

A bank is not a lifestyle destination. Why not? Mine is.

Talise Spa - a Lifestyle Destination

How much money do you need? You wouldn't need any greater sum than what goes through the so-called 'dark pools' or 'dark liquidity' funds that are the secret behind why no government or central bank anywhere really is interested in 'fixing up' the banking system today.

The banking system isn't broken.

Got it? The system IS NOT broken. It is simply NOT. By all means you go ahead and read all the crap that is posted everywhere else and in every newspaper and is shown through every av media channel throughout the world but hey, you know what – they are all just proving how much on the outside they all are.

The reason you even bother looking at this web-log is that deep down inside you have a disquieted little feeling that maybe you really are reading someone on the inside.

The single biggest problem in the world of finance today is merely the hijacking of terms and phrases that mean one thing in the hands of intelligent people – and another thing altogether once they get rough-ridden through the mire of modern let's-pretend journalism. There is no way the hedge funds – as they are called now and even rated by rating agencies(!) - are, really hedging anything. The structure and investment process of these funds rely on the same driving forces that installed idiots like Bob Diamond in clown paradises like Barclay's. Barclays died around 1989. Barings officially died. Barclays – like a lot of other corporations riddled with tertiary qualified twits at management level – hung around through the political nuance of family connection its employees had with members of government and political parties. Barclay's did not manipulate LIBOR. LIBOR wasn't there. It still isn't. The end game for pretending that moneyed interests who got snipped a few points because of a 'reference rate' require to be compensated through the courts will wash up onto the wrecking shore either of staggeringly higher interest rates (I'd like to see the modern politician deal with that context) when proper admissions are made, or bankrupt governments through an economy without any circulatory lifeblood by continuing the pretence of artificial low interest rates.

I hope, that the phrase 'dark pool' doesn't also get hijacked by all these idiots. It has significant meaning to those who know what it is.

For gold bugs, dark pools are where the difference between the actual deliverable physical price of precious metals, and the New York digitally-groomed price, goes. Once again, read all the rubbish you like about this ancient relic and how 'the bankers' are suppressing its price and how it earns no dividend. Rubbish people = rubbish ideas.

Armani Spa is a Lifestyle
Destination

That is why Bob Diamond's old job is now a 'lifestyle destination' for some lucky (though still rubbish) bastard with a degree from even some backwater university. Because even a half-smart clown realizes that Barclays is, as are all other fake banks, dead as the proverbial Dodo bird and that he/she will have to be compensated for taking the next fall when it happens again.

There is a man somewhere (several in fact, and one or two women) who owns a dark pool. That man is a bank. And he sends his wife to Armani Spa Dubai on weekends and his mistress or mistresses to the Talise Body Regenerator. As for the one or two women, I have no idea what they do for their husbands and expensive friends.

The lifestyle destination of idiots with degrees who are playing around in deathtraps – is eventually to be fucked. The lifestyle destination of the wise and knowledgeable is the hamam, the place you recoup from doing a lot of fucking.
