HSBC are cheap bastards
I wasn't paying attention to my accounts and I just realized my HSBC savings account was only paying me 0.05% interest. I am now in the process of transferring it to a savings account that is paying me 0.75% interest. By the middle of next week, I shall have given myself a 15X raise.

I read about ZIRP... Isn't this a horrible idea? What incentive is there to save money? Most of my bank money's at about 2%, and I find that a fairly useless return.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

CiTBank is offering 1.12% apr certificates of deposit on minimum amounts of $25k which shouldn't be a problem. Frankly, you'd get a much better return on equities but if you must hold cash than 1.12% sure beats 0.05%. They're both **** returns though.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I looked up the forward rates, they suggest only about a 10% decline in the value of the rouble. I was surprised it wasn't more.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

10% more on top of a pretty big drop. I don't think it can go lower without a total collapse (which I don't see happening).Originally posted by Dauphin View Post“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

I did not think Putin would be so stubborn as to risk a currency collapse. Apparently, I was wrong. I wonder if he will throw his finance minister in jail.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent.
