You can watch without your hat... I could only watch a bit of the video at this time but will finish watching later. Interesting to me that this was a self funded project. I saw nothing about the person who wrote or produced the video. (I didn't check at the end of the video. Maybe it's there.) I'd like to know what the person's motivation was. I have only marginal awareness of the London corporation thing as it was nothing I leaned about while I was in school eons ago. But when I see a documentary such as this I begin to give more credence to the idea of the existence of an illuminati. "I don't know anyone who has systematically studied the corporation of London and its impact on policy or economic policy". Scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a world where banks have taken all your money, pension, social security etc. and zombies are roaming on the streets. Cheers. Nothing is going to happen. ???? Brick and mortar banks in well regulated markets are not likely to do such things, but it did happen in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet union. I worked in Russia in the '90 and many of our local staff said they had lost all their savings. Similar in China, the shadow banking peer-to-peer platform are dropping like flies and people walk away with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least China is paying money to colonize not doing it at the gun points as our ancestors from Europe did. If 20th century was for Europeans, 21st century is going to be for Asians (mainly China and India). Why only one continent will have monopoly of colonization for perpetuity?

It's a different kind of unbriddled growth as in the 1980s Japan, but it will end in the same way, or probably worse... i dont see many poor japanese folks around.

ExpatOilWorker Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Sobering long term view of Thailand. Not the special snow flake it use to be, among investors. "In many ways, Thailand is Southeast Asia’s Japan — burdened with an aging population and with a stock market that recaptured its 1994 high only this year. Only 38 percent of the Thai population is under the age of 30, compared with around 50 percent for neighbors Indonesia and Vietnam." https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-11-19/thailand-s-no-beach-party-for-foreign-investors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just adjusted the annually growth in GDP down to 4.2 %. Thailand is doing OK to good, but not as good as the region in general. The golden years are over and it is starting to show in the NPL + SM (special mention) loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 On 9/19/2018 at 12:15 PM, jippytum said: Some time ago it was proposed that the bank Guarantee on savings accounts in Thailand would be reduced from unlimited to one million baht per account .There was a lot of opposition to the reduction proposal and i understood the reduced limit of one million was never published in the Royal Gazette and deferred.Could anyone please advise the current guarantee applicable . Thanks From what I have read that is already the case. One million guarantee for 1 account. Splitting deposits in the same name up to one million does not provide protection. I assume that means the Central Bank has the capacity to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 In terms of the OP I hold to the opinion that the best protection is to maintain zero debits. Those worst bitten in stock speculation are those who borrow to fund. A suckers game ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
