Since you have never been a winner, I am sure your assessment bears little resemblance to the truth.

And for some strange reason you enjoy re-hashing it over and over.
You are a queer fellow. Stalker of the worst kind.
Snore, get a CPAP.

And you won’t stop. And can never carry on a conversation about the markets. Just your bizarre Igy obsession. As Malmo said stop for your own health.

I’ve been involved in the market discussions here. You just cannot stomach anyone who disagrees with you, so you try to discredit the messenger.
Post one in the last week.

I just punched up a random page. There were 8 posts from Igy and 1 from Gruntz. The only investment related post on the page was from Earnie. The rest were just sniping and self-promotion.
You two are more alike than different. You deserve each other.
What will happen when all the banks' main assets are ownership of other companies, and not their ability to lend; main assets of various businesses are ownership of themselves (which are highly inflated), and not the actual, money-making infrastructure, and heck, throw in a few shares of financials, which are backed by shares of the companies who own shares of the financials; main assets of households are inflated Bitcoins, stock futures, and inflated shares of stocks; etc, etc, etc. Sooner or later this is all going to unwind.

You need to learn how to write a proper sentence.
I'll work on it, Grammer Nazi.
I would assume bank ownership of other financial stocks would be a rather foolish strategy for increasing capital, even bonds would be risky.
Thanks, but that wasn’t the question.

OK, banks or central banks? I would assume owning equity either/or rather risky. I can’t recall the exact figure but Japan Central Bank major ETF ownership in Japanese corporations. Like the Swiss Central Bank taking QE to another level.

Thanks, but that’s an opinion piece with no verified facts. Plus, it still doesn’t answer the question.

Well, you wrote "all the banks."
He’s not going to give you a straight answer because he fabricated that “fact”. You’re just supposed to accept what he writes without questioning. The truth be damned.
A bit of hyperbole, or sloppy wording. BTW, I am not Ghost if Igloi. He doesn't like Cheetos and live in his mom's basement. ha ha. My point is, there is a lot more going on than banks lending money, businesses making widgets, and the public buying stocks based upon sound financial principles.
