Hi I'm 4ex, the famous TSRian behind the traders vs doctors thread.
People don't realise how essential financial services are to their existence.
If it wasn't for investment bankers then great products like Google Maps, Facebook, iPhones and medications like statins and Viagara would not exist. See - to make big things, you need big money - who do you think does the fund raising - Mark Zuckerburg? No. It's those "greedy" bankers. Given the enormity of their contributions to society, they deserve to be heavily compensated.
Traders - without traders shorting the pound after Brexit - Europe would have been full of lower class chavs this summer but the low GBP/EUR kept them in check. Ironically it was probably the same people that voted for Brexit in the first place LOL. I really enjoyed my holiday so much more this year.
