How many in your speeding vehicle? 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. Surprise surprise give it a shot, asshole. Show me how Citigroup makes profits in the range of 35%. You should really consider talking to the biggest corporations in the US, they'd love to know your secret! Here's an example of Net Income/Revenue at 25.9%. Maybe there was, maybe there wasn't a quarter where they hit 35%. Don't know, don't care. You don't seem to understand that they can possibly make greater than their domestic lending rates. They're into much more than just lending money. Link to the above data: http://www.citigroup.com/citigroup/p...04/041014a.htm Bill wasn't talking about the percentage of increase, he was talking about the percentage of profit, period. Two entirely different things. If you read the link carefully and divide the Net Income by the Revenue you will find that the results are 25.9%. I wasn't referring to year over year or sequential increases $5.31B Revenue / $20.5B = 25.9%. And that equals 34% how? The only reason I posted those figures is that earlier in this thread you couldn't believe that a banking company could have profits any higher than the interest rates they charge. That's it, nothing less, nothing more. Kevin is two tacos short of a combination plate. |

It's not all that unusual in some businesses. But, there seems to be a magic number, beyond which some people think it's excessive. Even the oil industries profits would not be considered outrageous, if the absolute price (which we pay) wasn't out of hand. But it's not at all unreasonable. We pay about *half* of what the European countries pay per gallon. I don't like paying it, but maybe you'd like to explain how the US price is "out of hand", especially compared to the rest of the world? A sentient being would understand why what you have said is completely illogical. |

Maybe because it doesn't fit your agenda, which is bashing the oil companies and wanting the government to regulate more of your and my life. |

Make up which of your identities you're going to use during this particular discussion, and stick with just one. I will not respond to both. Either be Bert, or Jack. Doug, it is you that has the identity problem. Why have you switched from posting as "Doug Kanter" to "JoeSpareBedroom"? Are you ashamed of something? Are you afraid your "friends" will find out that you really are an asshole? Just what was it that made you stop posting as "Doug Kanter"? |
