Why men are to blame for the crunch 11:48am on 29 Jul 2009 Women in the general public spending more than they could afford perhaps?
The woman off location location location encouraging the housing boom?
Only half the blame for the credit crunch should be directed at the banks who LET it happen.
The public recklessly spending and fuelling the housing boom is as much to blame as the bankers. But that doesn't make quite so good headlines, and we couldn't possibly admit it, so lets blame everyone else instead.

On an aside, I was interested by the study a few weeks ago about the incomes of the parents going into various professions. On average those going into Investment banking had parents earning just slightly over the national average. By comparison those entering the legal, accountancy, and others had parents earning much more.
It seems that investment banking is remarkably diversified inters of backgrounds compared to many other professions.
Nobody comes out well of this... 11:17am on 09 Jul 2009 If they spied on members of the govenment, then surely that's an act of treason.
Why bankers aren't worth it 11:39am on 03 Jul 2009 Looking at the average growth from 1900 to 2009 isn't exactly a good comparison to the rest of the stock market. You aught to look at the average growth from 1986 to 2009, when they changed their tactics.
