No, but alas, you don't get it. I didn't make any statement(s) that
NEEDED to be credible. I simply stated GIVE IT A SHOT. Get it? Doubtful.

makes about 16% profit. Citigroup about 34%.


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

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:

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%.

No but I DO get it. you DID say "give it a shot, asshole" and
you're denying it.

Hey Tim.......Kevin is not worth your time. All he wants to do is argue
with folks about minutia, day in and day out. Just killfile him and move
on. ;-)

Of course not. You usually don't.

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!

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.
