Stop the Gombeen Bailout! Jail The Barstewards!

[Asi-Irish]

Folks, in case anyone has failed to notice, FF, along with the bankers and construction industry, have robbed us blind and condemned us to generations of miserable slavery.

They and their families will have access to top level private health and education servcies, while the rest of us will live hand to mouth, struggling to feed, clothe and educate our kids.

I went into my local branch of the BOI last July with a lump sum to invest.

I wanted to go nowhere near the markets, which were by then already collapsing.

They insisted I see their "Investment Advisor", an arrogant young man who proceeded to give me a class in Economics 101. When I asked him to spare me the crap, and told him I had studied economics (in all honesty I am most likely better qualified than him to give financial advice), and that I know the market is fecked and want to put the cash in a term account to stop inflation eating away at it, he gave the following response:

"Look, I'm not saying that this is the best time to invest in the markets, but (wait for it) there probabaly hasn't been a better time to invest in the markets than right now".

I actually laughed at him, and bid him good day.

Now, I've been looking over on askaboutmoney.com, and there are a few threads on exactly the above topic. With the markets collapsing (including BOI's much hyped "Evergreen Fund"), they were putting the hard sell on vulnerable people who knew nothing about investing and assumed that BOI could be trusted. In other words, they were relieving people of their life savings, through deception.

WE CANNOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE 7 BILLION EURO OF TAXPAYERS' MONEY!

Let them go to hell. In fact, investigate them for fraud and JAIL THEM!

While we're at it, reinvestigate Bertie and other FFrs and Jail them too!

If we have 7 Billion Euro to throw around, ESTABLISH A NEW STATE BANK THAT IS PROPERLY SUPERVISED AND REGULATED!

Can this be done?

Why are we letting these corrupt, idiotic Gombeen politicians run our country?

WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF OURSELVES!

Exact same thing happened to me in First Trust... Had £300k (sold a property and was looking to invest again after a year) to invest and they put this young lad on to me.. Arrived in a soft top BMW and gave me a 30 min presentation on where to invest... I let him talk. He went away after I told him I wanted to make an ultra safe investment with about 2% return...

He came back with a copy and paste document full of stocks and shares he thought I knew nothing about... One of these shares he mentioned was a Fedility Property Fund which 2 days before had put out a profits warning, and said they would not make profit until 2009 (fat chance now)

I decided to tackle him on this and for the first time he saw I knew my onions. Guy knew feck all in investing money. I immediately phoned my bank manager who got this clown out to me and told him what was going on (your guy was beside me still). I was reluctant to close my account as my other options are worse imo....

I never for 1 moment thought I would bank my money with a Bank, I did want to see what they would do with £300K.

I heard afterwards the guy who came out to me was taken off Investments (I wouldn't have him counting out my chain he was that clueless
