The Demon Banks

Just how is the world affected by poor ethics, corporate greed and relentless speculation which undermines the very fabric of society all in the name of profit

Much has been said of the demon banks and the shoddy way in which they have conducted their affairs, and the influence and control of our economies so much so they have left us with no other option but to pick up the pieces when the debacle happened. Such is the immoral way in which they have acted that countless people have been thrown out of work, with the rest of us living off the minimum wage just to survive. The banks in their arrogant ways, in all their tenacity have continued to operate within their pay structure as if nothing has happened!

Much has been said of the demon banks and the shoddy way in which they have conducted their affairs, and the influence and control of our economies so much so they have left us with no other option but to pick up the pieces when the debacle happened. Such is the immoral way in which they have acted that countless people have been thrown out of work, with the rest of us living off the minimum wage just to survive. The banks in their arrogant ways, in all their tenacity have continued to operate within their pay structure as if nothing has happened!

The banks corporate greed continues as bonuses still beggar belief. The very people that the banks serve matter diddly squat. Loans are still difficult to come by, small businesses are at best stifled for expansion leaving dole queues to expand relentlessly. Mortgages are only granted in miniscule amounts making it almost impossible to get onto the property ladder. The prevailing economic climate is forcing individual who need to sell their properties, those owners who are lucky enough to own property, to then dump that property in a poor market at a knock down value, if they have to sell to realize their equity.

The headline banners reporting bonuses as if they were telephone numbers continues, these guys have no shame and governments are weak to tackle this issue under the guise that the banks will move to more accommodating regions, disgraceful in every respect.

I for one want to see more transparency into the global machinations of the banking sector, I want to understand the greed that continues for the self serving interests that is rife amongst these individuals. I want to see a clear demarcation on the morality of their behaviors that stop at nothing to secure a profit for their insatiable greed, in short I want to know just how many businesses and economies that are viable are then ruined through the relentless speculation of an asset class which then ruins or undermines a perfectly sound economy or business. I want Morale ownership and I want it now! Luxury Villas in SeminyakLuxury Villas in Seminyak

I also want to see just how much of the world's economies that Goldman Sachs controls. I also need to understand just what decisions are taken at Davros on behalf of the corporate fat cats and how these decisions influence our so called elected leaders and how they then get translated so that they affect me/us, my children. More and more the world's population is fated by their lot as they pass through this money hungry greed filled life that we all aspire to.

Needless to say I do have some sympathy with the demonstrations that are taking place globally, however, I am at a loss to understand how some érbert in a brown duffle coat and an unkemped beard can be leading the need for change, particularly when that érbert nods approvingly at every inane comment that the prevailing authority dribbles out, as he clearly does not understanding the discussion at hand. They should pack their tents and then lobby through the appropriate channels. They should elect themselves through the ballet box, god knows the world needs a party that truly is not self serving or scared to breathe in case the media catch their every foible. We need a party that is not funded by the very greed that is stifling you and I.
Groan over!

Property is this the future Cont...


A few days ago I covered the ambitious topic of trying to be a small enterprise in the western economies and the absurdity that the banks place on us all..  Well today I will explore an even more ambitious project as I believe that property is still the key to wealth generation, but to be sure of success you have to think outside of the square, to use a good masonic term.

Faced with almost certain destruction, as asset values had gone way beyond my reach - I have ventured towards the east and I don't mean Dagenham in Essex.  I have traversed the globe and after years of assisting economies of the east, most notably Indonesia in their meteoric development and now watching as they get richer.  I have decided to play a part ambitious you might say, yes, scary most certainly, but where else is there. 

There are 250M people in Indonesia many of which used to own beat up archaic Kijang's almost like a Toyota utility vehicle.   Today these guys drive CRV's, Mercedes, BMW's even Bentleys for god sake..  In short they are getting richer.

 A little background, Indonesia if you lifted it off the global map and overlaid it on Europe it would stretch from London to Tehran,  Guess what they behave like Americans they hardly ever leave their shores, so most of their wealth stays within Indonesia.  So what do they do with it; well they don’t  buy cars per sae they are upgrading their properties.  So its not rocket science the dynamics of the west are translating here.  But, buyer beware it is not as easy as you might think....  

I will cover this in more detail as we progress from here meanwhile take a look at these two sites www.theleadingvillasofbali.com

Does property beckon - not in the west - time to look east

Does property beckon? - Europe and all of its calamities, daunting experience with no going back.  Can this be right?  First time in 54 years that I have had no home in what is affectionately known as Blighty, I have sold up and traveled to pastures new.  The UK may be steeped in culture, populated with Palaces and Castles, it might be a green and pleasant land but full of opportunities, it is not. 

A Bali Sunset from; The Leading Villas of Bali
To the ambitious entrepreneur it holds very little by way of excitement and opportunity.  The UK is shackled by corporate business greed, leaving the little guy to flounder, peddling so hard to pay their winter fuel bills as they heat their homes throughout what has now become harsh winters.  Due to all the taxes on our fuel at the pumps traveling to work is a mortgage in itself and hardly makes the experience worthwhile.

Home ownership once the dream of many, inspired by Maggie during her infamous Thatcher years.  This brainchild was really if the truth be known intended to lock everyone into huge debt so much so that they had no choice but to work for companies within constrained corporate processes. So we could earn  every available penny to fund our homes and family lives.  We live in a dream, when we finish paying for our properties only then does the reality dawn; we still through our council tax are only ever renting our paid up castles.  Dream on.... 

Corporate UK now burdened by the stupidity of the banks, who incidentally fund the conservative party, as if they want to go up against their paymasters, is in a fiscal mess; austere mess.  Small business are stifled by faceless processes and draconian decisions, good companies are bled to death as they strive for success, loans are refused which stifle any expansion even as order books improve. 

I recently came across a house developer who had build a substantial property, this property on completion is valued at $3M, almost all of this build was self funded, that is apart from $150k needed to complete this ambitious project.  He approached the banks for as loan, they granted him a $150K mortgage payable only upon completion, they would not fund the $150K to complete.  I'm sorry but how absurd is that!  

We are now trapped by faceless corporations over which governments of this world have no control.
The world is no longer full of opportunity it is full of absurdity that is....... Check back for the continuation of this story..
