Oil
makes about 16% profit. Citigroup about 34%.


Horse****!! How would Citigroup make a 34% profit when their
interest
rates aren't even that high?????? Let alone their operating
expenses!

LOL. You really are clueless.

Well, then SHOW ME where Citigroup has made 34% profit.

They made 18.8% profit. But that's beside the point. You stated that
"their interest rates aren't even that high"...implying that they could
earn
a profit that was only as high as their interest rate (whatever that
is).

This shows ignorance on multi-levels.

There is an enormous range in Citigroup's lending rates. There is no
such
thing as "their interest rate".

Are you REALLY trying to say that Citigroup's interest rates on money
lended is in the neighborhood of 35%????? Friggin' sign me up! If
that's the case, then most of the biggest corps in the U.S. will be
selling everything and investing in Citigroup. Better not let them in
on your secret!

Citigroup's profits are derived from a much larger pool of revenues than
just the money they take in from their lending practices.

Just what are they doing to earn back 35% or so on their money? Donald
Trump would love for you to share this informatioin with him!


Not all the money they are lending is theirs! Same as a bank. Pay you
1-2% on your deposit and use the rest to borrow from the federal reserve
at 4% or so and loan at 6-18%.


Then there are the late fees, over limit fees, origination fees, etc etc
etc.

Kevin once again remains clueless


Fritz, care to take the $5000 challenge that I'm not Kevin? Put up, or
shut up. Now, if you are referring to me, please show me where and how
Citicorp made 34% profit as was stated by Bill, and that is what I
called him on the carpet for.
