Bruh i’m not going to lie. You create some of the best financial documentaries on youtube. Kudos

[@Finaius]

Thanks 🙏

[@davidaldridge5716]

This is true. You’re criminally underrated. This is inadvertently right within my wheel house and as a person who researches/does due diligence at a really high level. It’s tempting to offer support. But realistically you already dig and organize particularly well But there are under the radar institutions and fortunes I would love to see covered

[@michaelbryant2071]

​@@davidaldridge5716You should use that information and profit like the aforementioned, Robber Baron!

[@ronjon7942]

I concur and I agree.

[@berourke]

No mention of losing Jamie Dimon to Chase or the Mexican loan disaster, the oilpatch disaster, the more recent South American loan disaster, the farm loan disaster- citi was always chasing the big payout, if it worked the execs paid themselves tons of $, if they lost the taxpayers always bailed them out. We’ve had years of the fed subsidizing banks through low interest rates and it has trashed the middle class and enriched the banks and the elites.

[@erkona]

Narrating quality is as good as the content itself. Learning something each time.

[@RichardSmith-mm5sv]

This documentary should be on Netflix, excellent work.

[@tobiajojesu3312]

Totally

[@dennismorris7573]

Rocky Xu rocks!

[@giquina]

KZbin is better than Netflix.

[@RichardSmith-mm5sv]

I agree@@giquina but I wonder if the potential revenue from Netflix would exceed that of KZbin?

[@giquina]

@RichardSmith-mm5sv never! Netflix will be out of business once KZbin starts showing all the shows that are on Disney & Netflix on a pay as you watch package. When KZbin starts selling movies , its game is over for Netflix.

Moral hazard has been a big issue for the Too Big to Fail institutions.

[@acw7120]

They are "too big to fail" as they bail out bankrupt GOVERNMENTS. Over and over. Or would you rather all the nations money went down the swaney at the BANK and all the "here today gone tomorrow" government "heads" spend it all? Again? Do you know what a Government going bust looks like? As long as people can trade and get money FROM THE BANK, no one cares much. The "Government" these days are just wanna bes who really should have gone on "Stars in your Eyes". They like being seen and applauded and celebrated. On the telly. But running government? They couldn't run DRUSILLAS without getting the birds mixed up with the snakes....USE:LESS So forget ANIMAL FARM. They couldn't run a mini ZOO let alone a FARM. Or a kennel actually. They would put a fine Afghan Hound in with a pit bull terrier and not see or know the damn difference....

[@thehealthinsight4587]

I recently executive produced a 90-second marketing video for a company. Tho a shorter content sometimes can be just as challenging for its concise delivery requirements, watching this makes me appreciate all of the pre-planning, scripting, logistics, interviewing, etc .. that you must have toiled over to make your 45-minute documentary. Everyone, be appreciative for Rocky! 🤓

[@renancorbani6749]

You have one of the best voices for any documentary!! Congrats for everything you’ve accomplished.

[@Finaius]

Appreciate that

[@JEHERN100]

It’s very similar to the narrator of “The Men Who Built America” on Amazon Prime. Classic. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@MJ-27]

I bet if jamie dimon had taken over from sandy weil. Citibank would've been the undisputed financial services group. Jamie Dimon's approach to risk the fortress balance sheet strategy just shows how good he is and how sandy weil messed up firing him

[@acw7120]

Bit of a bore for him to wear millions of "hats" at once though. Hard to "chase two rabbits at the same time without losing both". Until they define what a "Bank" is, no body really knows. It seems like a great big money washing machine with all sorts of mixed up "laundry" in it. When really, people need banks. Not hard? No need to hit people over the Head with the "Corporate Hammer" every time they come in the door; or talk about People like Onassis as if he is a prey and the bank is "circling" for the carcass. It doesn't come across as very good business look..HARDLY going to attract the trust of "rich clients" talking about them like they are "prey" for the bank. Sounds kinda crass...They need to up their game and drop the "gangster" repute. After all THEIR ANCESTORS may turn in their graves....I am sure they did not get names of repute only to let the following generations PROFLIGATELY WASTE it all....Even their NAME. Really.. I have always wondered WHO and WHY is it quarterly "figures" are always so damn urgent. I wonder for WHOM? People need banks. Simples. Surely the "marketing and financial services" departments should be nothing to do with responsible "banking"? Or does "figures" mean - investment? Hard to know all trades. After all it is pretty clear that a lot of the top head honchos er...are not too family with the current "bond market"....No? Not fair on Jamie or any CEO at the mo actually - losing game as "boom and bust" economy means he has to deal with naked shorts all the time....such a drag. "All business becomes TIRESOME in the end". It needn't be though. It just seems that TRUST is gone. But it must be said to those who "let the banks go bust" never call for the "government to go bust". Even though they ARE. Along with their "pensions" etc..paid into, "invested" AT THE BANK etc. Rather a mess. That is why you got to admire Jamie; he is the guy to "bust the doors right off" and sort the mess out. Hopefully by no more "Government Bank Schemes". Schemes...mmm. Rightly named. "Sorry. We are closed until further notice." "Gone Fishin".

[@fredsimwaba4362]

It's amazing that phrases like Too Big to Fail are still being used even Today?

[@TomBTerrific]

You should do a video on Silverado S&L. Neil Bush was involved. The government banking system didn’t learn a damn thing from this because 2008 happened later. Somehow the only casualties were stockholders, depositors and taxpayers whose dollars bailout them out while preserving corporate bonuses.

[@1painter4hire]

This channel really has become a top tier Masterpiece. These are Well Researched and well Developed Documentaries .

[@bruins86]

I'm surprised you didn't mention that for traveler and Citi to merge that Glass-Steagall had to be repealed. This was one of FDRs strongest legislation to regulate banking in US history.

[@darkmage4648]

This. I remember G-S being a controversial repeal that also led to reckless mergers in the future.

[@johnwick860]

Dimon's departure contributed to Citi's downfall

[@Septumsempra8818]

[@ronjon7942]

This channel is so good, definitely in my top ten. You have the voice, awesome and fast flowing narration, amazing video, and such great content. I really don’t know how you can put so much excellent material out in the timeframes you’ve set. I have never been so interested in finance until yours and two or three other channels, although I have always enjoyed historical backstories. You really have done superb work with your research and presentation. Thanks for what you’ve created. You’ve really made a difference and I hope your channel thrives. Nice work.

Don't just set your financial goals without consulting a financial advisor. Their expertise ensures a solid plan for success. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly setting aside money in intervals for smart investments.

Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resource to guide beginners?

[@bajadasderieles]

How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. who is the driving force behind your success?.

[@EmilymiaRUSSIAN]

I'd recommend Alice Legan Mitchell as the ideal finacial adviser to use...

[@EmilymiaRUSSIAN]

Research her name on gogle and you will find the necessary information and also her web page to make a contact and schedule an appointment with her.

[@bajadasderieles]

I appreciate it. After searching her name online and viewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
