you're right Jim, but I'm using GoogleGroups, and they don't have kill
File.

Ohoh, you called him "Kevin" Now we get to wait for the $5000.00 "Put
up or Shut up" routine.


LOL!

This is precious! JimH calls me Kevin because he's got me killfilled
and thus thinks he can't be called to the mat! Hey, Dennis Compton,
care to take the challenge to prove I'm not Kevin, or would you rather
just ignorrantly call me someone I'm not. Killfile, in your case does
nothing but prove that you think ignorance is bliss.



You calling him Dennis compton, won't bother him near as much as he
does you calling you "kevin"






ROTF! I went under an alias for a while.......Dennis Compton. After
someone discovered my real name I have gone by it ever since but abbreviated
it to JimH.

The thing Kevin does not understand is that I do not deny posting under the
name of Dennis Compton. He, on the other hand, posted and sent emails under
the name Kevin Noble, including in a marijuana NG, yet he denies ever doing
so.

Go figure.

Too hot to take the boat out today so I went to Home Depot and purchased the
piping and fittings needed to install the battery backup sump pump I
recently purchased. The heat wave is to continue through Tuesday so I may
be installing the thing tomorrow.

Why don't you get a bimini for your boat Tim?


Oops, I should have mentioned that I remember you saying you do not
take the boat out on hot sunny days as you do not have a bimini.

I had thought of that John, but I didn't see any that I really liked. I
wish Icould get the origional factory pattern, instead of having to
settle for a generic "buggy top" .

Next year I might have a different boat. I mean, I've really enjoyed my
little scorpion 169, but it's "little".

If I get a different boat, I'll get one with a top, if I don't ...I'll
get a top anyhow.

Horse****!! How would Citigroup make a 34% profit when their

rates aren't even that high?????? Let alone their operating

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.

It's not all that unusual in some businesses. But, there seems to be a magic

(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

As I said earlier, I'm thinking of a 17'er. Maybe a Boston Whaler. I'll
definitely get a bimini of some sort, even if I get a t-top for the CC.

Doug, it is you that has the identity problem. Why have you switched

Kevin thinks that somehow that his sort of name calling puts , (by
inference) him about the name calling.

Remember the fit he had when he was asked if he had stopped beating his

You mean, of course, that they reported an 18.8% profit. Large

Seriously, it's the absolute price that bothers us all at the moment.
Other businesses make higher margins and it doesn't bother you.


I made 31% last year, and I'm expecting 34% this year. I just wish that my
revenues were in the billions like Exxon/Mobil's. ;-)

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!


Go up 6 paragraphs from this post and read. See where I said that "they
made 18.8% profit"?

As for what they are doing to earn 18.8%...

I'm going to give you a really simple example of how I can earn a lot of
money as a lender:

I loan you $100,000 at 5% interest. The interest rate falls to 4.5% just 1
month later. I sell your loan to another bank for a one-time fee (perhaps
$2000). So in just 1 month, on the initial $100,000, I earned 5/12th's of a
percent, plus the $2,000.

That's a 2.4166% return in just 1 month...or a nearly 29% annualized return.

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.

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?

Basskissers quote:

"Yes, your actions ARE amazing in so many different ways.
Unfortunately,
none of them involves intelligence, thought, or foresight. "

And you must ask him if he's playing games, or not getting enough
sleep?

I think he's living up to his own quotes.
