Bassy, you know I side with you much of the time, because like me, you're
always right. But, in this case, I have to say I'm 99.9% sure you're
either
playing games, or not getting enough sleep. NOYB said he was giving you
AN
EXAMPLE. Do you want him to enumerate every single source of income for
Citi?
I thoroughly understand the example. But, if you'll go back and read my
first post, to Calif Bill, you'll see that he quoted a number of 34%.
That is what I called bull**** on, and to this end, no one here who is
arguing against that, has come up with it.

None of the subsequent examples in this thread of Citi's profit percentage
has mentioned 34%. We showed you how their profits can be higher than their
interest rates. You clearly said that was horse bleep.


That statement was in DIRECT response to this statement from Calif
Bill:
Oil makes about 16% profit. Citigroup about 34%.

Show me.
