Hello to my new friends and those with a plethora of information from whom I am looking forward to learning from. I have been in the banking industry for the last eight years and have worked for two of the five largest banks in the United States. One of these organizations has been in the news recently for shorting silver and the other is quickly adopting the "sales" model and ethics of the silver short-seller. After eight years, I resigned last week and I am going to begin work on a book which discloses many internal policies and procedures which will not necessarily shock the public but will only solidify the notion that banks are not concerned with anything other than bringing the Bankers Manifesto to fruition. I will leave you with the working title "It's not for you to do what's right for the customer, your job is to sell it"

Hi Paranoiduser,
welcome to ATS...I look forward to reading your posts. I hope you enjoy your time here (and don't get too addicted like I did!)
