Casemoney, some did, but the most profitable areas were not the bailed out ones and the bailed out areas are a minority, so it's not due to public help in most cases.

Why aren't they using all this money to buy their banks back off us, the taxpayers, and give us a nice ''thank you'' bung at the same time.
After all, it's our money they're using to lend out, that has made all this wonga. |

Don't go in then, case. "The industry" is a pretty big with many different functions, departments and businesses. Don't be a another spanner who lumps them all together like the government did.

mate works for Goldman Sachs, they have had a BUMPER year, hes on for 350k bonus and thats small time in Goldmans....
But like someone said earlier, its only a very few number of banks / financial houses that have caused this mess. The rest are on track for big bonus.... |

We own 84% of RBS group, whose chairman will get nearly £10,000,000 bonus.
He just laughs and says even his parents think he is overpaid. So that's ok then. |

The plural of bonus is bonuses not bonus,s. Originally bona but nowadays bonuses is acceptable. Incidentally the word should be bonum as bonus means a good man - a good thing is bonum. Hope this helps.
