Banksters: HSBC, the Untouchable Titan of Global Finance

[@oneillbilder]

It was a very bad decision to remove the Glass-Steagall Act in the late 1990s, which led to the spectacular failure of huge banks during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. To prevent another disaster, Dodd-Frank and this statute both need to be reestablished right away. What happened with these banks is only the beginning of what will happen if nothing is done to address the current situation.

[@NicholasHarmon-ow3jl]

In my opinion, some of the banks was attempting to restructure their bond portfolio, which involved selling their low-yielding bonds despite the potential loss, and compensating for it by buying higher-interest-rate bonds on the open market.

[@HarrietBemish]

Despite the economy's resilience thus far, the banks scenario cautions that the effects of Federal Reserve rate hikes persist. During such periods, investors must remain alert to anticipate what comes next. It is not necessary to act on every prediction, so I recommend seeking the guidance of a financial advisor, which has been my go-to advice for some time now.

[@EllenAbrex]

I'm intrigued by your experience. Could you possibly recommend a trustworthy advisor you've consulted with?

[@HarrietBemish]

Finding financial advisors like Vivian Jean Wilhelm who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

The finance industry gives the illusion of being heavily regulated and when tested, that regulation is just an eye blinder. The industry is rotten to the core.

It IS rotten. Regulations and taxes have made legitimate (normal) banking unprofitable. Government rules and regulations ALWAYS profit politicians at the expense of everyone else.

Nowadays when I watch similar documentaries or videos, if ever, the first thing I would do is ask myself what is the intent of the producers. The intent is important as this will show where and how a documentary producer will want to skew their message. I don't think a producer will just produce a video or documentary just because there is a scandal involved. When I see NGOs like the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, I stopped watching the video as they are funded by organizations like the US NED. If anyone takes fund from the NED, they are no longer neutral. They will have a spin they want to project. I am not for HSBC but your question is valid. Why only HSBC? I think HSBC is a British bank and if I am not mistaken, this bank was set up to facilitate the opium trade by the British in China. So much for the "stellar" reputation.

I know it is of no importance here, but that bank stole 400 Euros of my money. I had a German banking account, and tried to get money at an ATM of a HSBC in Mexico. It did give me nothing, showing in the display ¨no USD available¨. Mind you, I put in the amount to retire in MXN.. And of course, the ATM was out of paper, so could not print a receipt. On my next bank statement from Germany, 400 Euros had been deducted from my account. And, having no proof of what happend, I could not reclaim the money.

Well, it appears that the west is not as isolated from China's economic woes as we thought. Suddenly the names, Evergrande and Country Garden now carry a much more ominous tone.

We need Donald Trump back as president! He will put a stop to HSBC with a single phone call!!

[@corinthiancolumnist7057]

If HSBC didn't need to be bailed out by the UK Government, (and it didn't), why should it be forced to take money from it? Having a successful Rights Issue is not a crime. It is a listed bank, (in London, and in Hong Kong).

[@Aditya_Atodaria]

why shouldnt they exist now? that is a very fundamental thing you're saying there, its their right to open up private companies

[@imacmill]

@@Aditya_Atodaria Have you opened your own bank? If not, why not? It's literally money-for-nothing, so what's stopping you?

[@homergee3381]

@@Aditya_Atodaria Private people should not have more power than representative governments, billionaires should not exist and all banks are owned by billionaires. The fundamental thing is tax, progressive and balanced or flat so extremists can monopolise the population. Also just a word on innovation, the wealthy don't want change unless it profits them, most people like yourself think they are playing by the rules.

I read sometime ago that art of Usury was once frowned on and by many people and communities have angerly suggested that such a practice should be Outlawed. These days I don't hear much of the use of such a word. I think it means that too much money is being printed which for most people, that sort of practice seems to devalue the price of the work they have to do in order to house and feed themselves. Of course When the businesses find things are getting too costly to run they regrettably have to cut costs and be more efficient and lay off staff in order to meet their desired profit margins. With so much excessive debts that human society seems creates for itself in both the past and present, I wonder what people have to live for but even now at my old age and I still hope that things might somehow change . How about you?

Govrnments should be FORCED to stop fining banjks for serious wrongdoing, and prosecute CEOs for jail time! That is the ONLY way you will slow down - but not stop - the Banksters! Too many politicians are corrupt and get payoffs from banks and big business!

Money = Rights. If you take all the cash and assets in the world and divide that amount by the number of people in the world you would have an amount $X. Nobody has a right to have more than this amount meaning $X is your right, not an entitlement, you still have to earn it. The rich use the rights of the poor and our governments tax the rich to compensate the poor, this is monumentally unfair to the poor but the poor give their permission every time they vote.

This case, and how it was handled by US, shows the level of corruption of financial world, including the US Treasury. When you are big enough to fall down and to be shut down, then you are unreachable, above the law. The corruption has spread everywhere, like a cancer. To this 'cancer', there is no cure. In spite of any (new) revalations, how big they are. 😭
