Nah . . . it's not about how many risks you take, it's about who bears the risk of going burst.
Bankers risk your money but they've got a safe net to land on . . . Owen breaks his ankle and it's his career that's on the line not my mortgage.
Cal me old fashioned, but you shouldn't get paid that much for gambling with my money.

did u put your money in investment houses (pension, mutual bla bla bla fund)?
your savings in d normal regular bank accounts aren't gambled

It's hard to compare the value of work done cos they are totally different fields.

What abt if u say something like;
value added to the economy,
value added to humanity
bla bla bla
give us something to work with

Oya, make I ask una question.

Which one should I pay the highest for services:

A) Financier: that took my 100K and turned it into 200K.

B) Doctor: that saved my life to care for my kids or cured my painful disease to let my life be less of pain.

C) Lawyer: that saved me from life imprisonment for a crime I did not commit.

D) MC: that taught me how to make money from my own business.

Put it in other of value-added.

Long or short term?
Long term: B, C, D, A

Short term: (enabler of smooth running of business as usual of a nation)
A: If you don't have the money how r u gonna be bale to afford B, C
D
B
C

So as long as human beings are generally built to be short sighted finance all d way.

Money is like blood and most times it's a must have

Doctors, lawyers, management consultants face this as well and they don't get paid as much despite adding more value.

Doctors = Work longer hours but don't directly add wealth to coffers of the nation
Lawyers = You can argue some actually make more money than the bankers (Tort, IB lawyers)
Management Consultants = by drafting strategies and attending pointless meetings?

While we are still on the topic of sharing the risks involved, do you think the average man is prepared to share the burden of having to be at work more than 12 hrs a day sometimes 6days a week?
The constant HBP and enormous stress of having to always deliver?

Some of my friends have always asked me why i've never gone into IB industry and my answer to them as always been i'm very comfortable with earning far more than i work for. Just come and check how we roll in public sector tongue

In the markets, that was what happened in the credit crunch.

The bankers had made a profit/bonus and the investors were left with a chimera.

Wrong, it's a lot deeper than that.
What's the percentage of the bonus taking compared to the debts incurred by companies during the credit crunch? a guesstimate should give me in the region of less that 5%

Your LB collapsed because they invested heavily in complex financial instruments that was introduced during the greenspan era (bad loans from sub-prime mortgages) believing that it's a zero risk market risk as they will always be a market to churn toxic debts to.
Oil was at an all time high and the consumer confidence which generally underpins and inturn drive market was at an all time low hence creating a scenario where people preferred to save rather than spend.
the regular high street shops and small business not having customers, they not being able to service their respective loans, assets being overvalued cos of the boom then having to be readjusted to balance the books.

Sagamite:
The part I am curious about is that is it reasonable to reward them "that much" for doing nothing really special and not sharing in the risk?

If a bank makes trillions from propriety trading, then they deserve every cent of bonus as it is full company risk.

I'd prefer if we see the level of performance (percentage profit return) of these individuals before we can define what is much.
I honestly think they do more than they are given credits for.
Do we know the impact of the enormous tax that they pay make on economy? I am sure you know why Alistair Darling or any other finance minister aren't bold enough to ban bonuses.

Do you know what ripple effect it will cause on UK's economy if these bankers are to move their dealings elsewhere? that enormous hole would have to be filled elsewhere which might lead to more PAYE for the average brits, sever cuts in public spending so as to have a balanced budget.

I think the issue of sharing the risk should never come into questioning simply because people aren't forced to invest. Investments are usually done at one's own risk.

Business › Re: Do Bankers Really Deserve Their Multi-million Pound Pays? by jaybee3(m): 1:19pm On Dec 10, 2009

I now understand where u r coming from.
But isn't that the main reason why the investment house are legally required to have readable and printable disclaimers (All investments involve different degrees of risk. You should be aware of your risk tolerance level and financial situations at all times) ?

People know that the value of their respective initial investments aren't guaranteed but still go for it cos of greed and thirst to get reach.

I'm sure you've read the article about Islamic banking (the pros and cons of it)?

Why do you think people will still want to invest in berkshire hathaway today despite the shares being the most expensive? They have a track record of having year on year increase on initial investment and i'm sure the analysts under warren's payroll will be getting bountiful bonuses yearly as well (maybe in the form of shares sha)

I am only ever sympathetic to people that have their live savings wiped away due to unauthorised investment actions on their behalf.
The case is similar to a lawyer getting paid regardless of winning or loosing a case.
By law you have the right to represent yourself but we generally do otherwise to allow the best in the business to represent us so as to have a favourable outcome

My point of debate is that "is there 'skill' worth the pay"?

It is because a scientist is not trained to earn his or her emplyers percentage profit increase yearly.
If a scientist invents say a bug or a cure for something then they get catapulted into one of the world's richest.

These bankers work more hours than the norm, they have to stay current/informed 24/7 so as to get that investment edge.

why shouldn't they get rewarded for all the hard work that they do?

Business › Re: Do Bankers Really Deserve Their Multi-million Pound Pays? by jaybee3(m): 12:42pm On Dec 10, 2009

Ain't the Real money as you call it the bonus pot normally set aside by those big IB's. I want to believe that dat portion won't have any direct influence on any liquidity squeeze dat may or may not occur.
Companies don't have liquidity squeeze cos of the bonuses paid.

Bonuses are needed cos if you are a commodity trader, bought million barells of oil when it was still at $60 per barrel then sold on at peak price of $100 per barell dats a massive 67% increase on the initial investment which should warrant that trader about at least 10% of the profit earned.
do the maths

I had a similar discussion with candylips yesterday

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=363994.msg5078800#msg5078800

IMO, i think they deserve the bonuses they get (on assumption that they meet their targets) simply because if i am making my company and her shareholders millions of profits every year due to ma shrewd investments then i expect to get a share of that bounty.
It's as simple as that.

the jobcentre will give her a temporary number that she can use until the real number arrives.
Buy her a return ticket to charing cross so she can go drop her CV's at all the retail outlets in west-end. I am sure she will get something cos they normally recruit temporary staffs for xmas busy period.
