- The Credit Suisse story is about how finance went wrong at one of Switzerland's most important institutions and one of the most important banks in Europe. It's a tale of high-profile scandals, from corporate espionage to cocaine smugglers and oligarchs. But what does the future hold for the venerable institution? Credit Suisse's new chairman, Financial Times reporters and banking industry experts explain it all. Read more at on.ft.com/3PrvpZe

The bank crisis isn't over yet, and experienced individuals know credit crises don't end quickly. Some find it amusing that some think it's resolved, but in reality, we're headed for a major economic downturn due to this credit contraction.
After the '08 financial crisis, I've learned not to trust corporations. Since 2020, I've been investing with a financial advisor and have had no major losses, so I'm not going back to relying solely on banks.
A common oversight is that banks operate solely in the service of yield. Personally, I am hesitant to keep substantial sums of money in a bank. Instead, I opt to invest under the guidance of experts, reap the advantages, and diligently save for my retirement.
That's grand! I believe the high-value gains are backed by years of study/experience in knowing what makes what tick. the portfolio-advisor that guides you is who though?
There are many financial coaches who excel in their profession, but for the time being, I employ Vivian Carol Gioia because I adore her methods. You can make research and find out more.
I greatly appreciate it. I'm fortunate to have come upon your message because investing greatly fascinates me. I'll look her up and send her a message. You've truly motivated me. God's blessings on you
This bank crisis is so far from being over. Anyone who has been around for longer than 12 years, knows a credit crisis isn't over in two weeks. Makes me laugh seeing folks thinking this was all over so quickly. We are seeing a credit contraction that is gonna lead to a major contraction.
It's often overlooked that banks are also corporate entities driven by greed. One of the contributing factors to current bank crisis is the banks' excessive leveraging of assets. However, on the advantageous aspect, economic downturns offer numerous prospects for ordinary individuals to create wealth from the ground up. Nevertheless, seeking guidance from an investment planner might be necessary if you desire a more assertive return.
In the world of fina-nce, crisis are prime opportunities for wealth creation. When my port-folio suffered a significant loss in April of last year, I realized the need to enlist the expertise of a financial consultant. With her guidance, I have not only recovered from my losses but also generated a profit of 450k. The knowledge and skills I have acquired through this experience have been inval-uable in my journey towards finan-cial success.
@@joshbarney114 I find this very intriguing. Can you suggest the name of your advisor? I could greatly benefit from some guidance.
@@FabioOdelega876 "Colleen Janie Towe" is my adviser and she is highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
@@joshbarney114 Thank you for this tip , I must say, Colleen appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her online page, I thoroughly went through her resume, educational background, and qualifications, and I must say, it was quite impressive. I reached out to her, and I have booked a session with her.
And after 8 months this programme was aired, Credit Swiss has finally gone! Watching this again, how insightful it was!!
You read my thought bubble! 👍
Try reading Karl Marx for "insightful"
How can journalists be waving red flags and yet!
lol yea
But ... no one of us taken short position on Suisse , or we would have been millionaires now 😱🙁😭🥺🥱
Whose here after hearing this came to reality 8 months later? Crazy
This is actually insane
I wonder how much of their business was doing sleazy things for Russian oligarchs.
Yes me I’m here after 8 months
Every day we encounter novel challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2023, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680,000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.
Despite hearing that insider trading secrets could lead to making millions in the financial market, I hesitated to invest as I lack the required skills and a sound strategy to surpass the market and achieve profitable returns. Additionally, although I possess $160,000, I find it challenging to take the plunge due to a shortage of funds.
It is advisable to steer clear of cons that appear improbable. Seeking guidance from a fiduciary advisor can be helpful as they are highly skilled in their field and can provide tailored advice based on an individual's risk appetite. While there may be unscrupulous individuals, there are also remarkable ones with a positive track record.
@@theresahv I’ve been down a ton, I’m only holding on so I can recoup, I really need help, who is this investment-adviser that guides you
My advisor is ‘’Julie Anne Hoover’’ she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market
@@theresahv Thanks for sharing this. I did my own little research, and your advisor looks advanced and experienced. I wrote her and dialed her twice but she didn't pick up so I scheduled a phone call.
CS in Japan in the aughts. The BOJ did surprise inspections of most of the banks. They were looking to punish banks for excessive jpy trading and were sanctioning banks for any compliance/regulatory exception no matter how small. The way they did the audit was the banks provided a floor map of the offices and the BOJ went through the rooms one by one, ticking them off as they went. So what CS did was they altered the floor map to leave out one room. Then they put all of their objectionable, non-compliant files in that room. They nearly got away with it but the BOJ noticed there was a locked door they never had been through. Just another example of their rogue behaviour …
DB in Japan in the Aughts. Same same, but different.
I worked at CS this summer - my manager was an absolute corporate psychopath. I reported him, but the investigation was swept under the carpet. While he was on "leave" I worked with another team, which had no idea what they were doing, but were extremely resistant to fixing things. No wonder the ship is sinking.
Let them sink in
I also worked in CS a few years ago and had a great team and exemplary management. People I worked with deeply cared about quality and process. Your comment is superficial, you cannot judge an entire company of such size according to your very limited experience and visibility. It's obvious that not everybody is "good" or "bad", like everywhere in the world. Credit Suisse's top management made several big mistakes and now the company is going to pay for that. It will take a long time to recover, if ever. But those who will carry the most weight are the employees that probably did not deserve it. So I don't feel like commenting as Mr. Kiril Mihaylov did below with his shameful "let them sink", without thinking about all those who will lose their job.

It's important to keep in mind that investing is a zero-sum game with both good and bad days. However, by spending and investing wisely and diversifying your holdings, you can minimise risks and maximise gains. Hiring a knowledgeable investment advisor with a wide range of options can help you achieve this and leave little room for regrets.
@@markgeorge8206 Would you mind recommending a specialist with a variety of investment options? This is extremely rare, and I eagerly await your response.
The teachings on this channel are always top notch so informative and easy to understand, it's very hard to find good content online these days
I agree with you on everything, these days finding a financial mentor is a tough challenge which is why I am happy and grateful to have been introduced to my mentor Larry Kent Nick by a friend. I made a lot of money in just two months working with him for just a small investment
Who exactly is this Mr. Larry? what does he do?
And how can I take advantage of him
He is a financial advisor and investor, he helps people to better understand the financial markets and he also does trading and investing on your behalf.
Getting in touch with him is very simple, just follow him on instagram

Would FT please consider using chapter breaks in their videos so that we can rewatch certain portions more easily?
Really? Were lucky they dont put this garbage behind a paywall - those greedy c**ts
I love when scammers loot the scammers. Most of the deposits of credit Suisse is corrupt money.
Good one
You are being fooled here.. dear man... This report is now written in 2022... But you need to learn history.. to know whether it was or was not a scam. Don't be fooled. I was watching another video about the Saudi Arabian Stock Exchanges.. and how much time it took them to stabilises.... 🤣😆... It is very fascinating. Never ever considered that for something to work, everybody has to pull in a certain way. Which... humanly speaking.. this is very very hard to do. lol.... Too many Chiefs.. and no Indians...
Gotta love managers bullshitting: "We have a 160 years history."
Dude, you are a new hire among 50% new hires, looking for ticking time-bombs.

Credit Suisse is rapidly transforming into Debit Suisse.
Old games
🤪🤣🤣
On a much smaller scale, I am Swiss and used to be a client of CS. They have a policy of stalling on transferring your pension fund to another bank if it's in their best interests to do so. It took me three and a half months, endless calls, letters and visits to the bank to get my 3rd pillar investment fund transfered to my new bank, meaning losses of many thousands of swiss francs that I had invested with them for my retirement. It is an absolutely disgraceful institution and I hope the regulators nail them, fat chance of that happening though.
All major banks will do such shady stuff
@@kirilmihaylov1934 I think pension funds will be the main target of hedge funds and investment banks
Interestingly all the American News agencies are interested in European banks but certainly ignore their own mess, MS was bailed out all thanks to post WWII American influence in Japan, CITI is living on breather, Goldman is basically American central bank gets all insider information, also all the above are ones whose share prices have fallen by 20% in this year. They govern their markets, they make rules and their media is all after Swiss , German & British banks !! Makes things very fair for Americans!
@UN KNOWN money makes the world go around
Shame on you. As a Swiss then ZKB or Migros!
This episode way back saved my money. When CS SP was going down I started to look into investing in CS. Came across this in the process. Never trust a dodgy management
Listening to the first few seconds of this, I had to check if the date it was posted was 2008...
Clearly the lack of consequences for those responsible for the last recession, means bankers have learned nothing.
Exactly 💯
Why learn if you don't have to? They've always been "change the rules of the game" kinda people. They just change the rules to work for them not society.
Watch the whole video it clearly says that Credit Suisse in particular did not change post 2008 crisis.
A few things…
1. how where they responsible for the recession? Thing was a little bit more complex and it was the beginning recession/rising interest rates that pricked the housing bubble and then lead to banking troubles
2. bankers and banks respond to incentives set and play the system
Everyone does that
Same I checked date if it was 2008.
If any normal person without a large amount of money behaves in this way they go to prison.
Yet a rich banker gets "time from shareholders" to turn it around.
Disgraceful.
Well it dependes. If you are working for the company under the companys name you should not be held accountable if you make mistakes. However if the "mistakes" are illegal and you are responsible for them you personaly can be held accountable if you get sued.
@@JCB576 Except we all know the banks write the laws through lobbying. Things that most people would consider criminal are perfectly 'legally' normal in the financial sector.
@@mentality-monster like what?
You steal at a grocery store for $20 and you get jail time..yet bankers steal billions and nothing happens.
I am really worried about the current bank crisis. If a bank as big as Credit Suisse could later fail, I fear for a lot more. I know a friend who is running a high-growth startup, and was badly hit by the bank run. I have pulled out more than $340k from my bank. After all, the FDIC covers only up to$250,000, and the implosion could have bad effect. Looking to invest into the stock market now. Does anyone know how I could go about it?
I have learned to not trust corporations. I was badly hit by the '08 financial crisis. Since 2019, I've just been focused on investing through a financial advisor, and it has been paying off, and I'm never going back to banks full time.
@@lowcostfresh2266 This sounds really interesting. I've been thinking of pulling out my money too. Could you recommend who your advisor is? I could really use some help.
@@TomD226 Having a counselor is essential for portfolio diversification. My advisor is Laurel Dell Sroufe who is easily searchable and has extensive knowledge of the financial markets.
The stock market is not going to recover or protect what you pay for stock any better than cash. With inflation, cash is falling in value vs cost of living. No company on the stock market is protected from risk bar the big non-tech stocks like the large consumer brands (which will also see a slowing demand and higher cost of production). Better to invest your cash under $250K so its protected by FDIC. US gilts at present are not going fall in value unless interest and inflation rates fall too fast.
There is one thing which is surprising. FT doesn't even let me read their articles, unless I pay for it, and here it has made a full fledged documentary and released it online, for free. Why ?
They're trying to get money from those who will pay. I suppose based on their research they see that as the way for them. Others grow to become a huge online then make their money from large advertiser reach.
TH-cam pays per view.
I'm guessing they will use the information they have for the paper articles to create the videos. So the research work is shared, cost saving.
To be honest I'd like to know what's going on in China financially because there are at least 6 large banks where customers are blocked from withdrawing their money.
6 Hong Kong stock market listed construction businesses have been removed from the Hong Kong listing for not publishing the results from 2021
50 large construction projects have customers cancelling their orders.
91% decrease in some China bonds.
Imports into China are down, suggesting reduced demand.
Xi Jinping has not been seen for weeks, since he last had a meeting in Hong Kong where he met someone who the next day tested positive for COVID. He even cancelled a meeting with Putin.
It's China having a financial crisis?
Where is Xi Jinping?
Good question...

I'm 58 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, we are finding it impossible to replace it. We can get by, but cant seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 40years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for,
I feel your pain, as a fellow retiree I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me,I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an investment advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $130k in value stocks and digital assets,Up 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
@@viviangall1786 I think it's especially difficult for retirees and near retirees, I know to focus on the long term but the anxiety when you're supposed to be retiring in 3years is super exhausting, I've been looking into hiring a market expert as well

@Jeremy Walker sure advisors are outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fees....seeing that their services are in high demand more than ever....Seems more like extortion to me.
@Jeremy Walker okay thanks for clearing that up, already went through her web-profile and it seemed pretty tight which is why I was worried her fees will cost a ton haha. thanks a bunch for sharing
you know, if any of these crooks ever went to prison, I bet the system would "reform" really quickly.

The Swiss have had a problem admitting to fault for decades. It brands itself as an old European direct democracy yet women couldn't vote federally until 1971 and many cantons still penalize dual-income families. Forced child labour (Verdingkinder) was a thing until the 1960s, including hundreds of gypsy children forcibly removed by the police from their families to work on farms, no official apology until 2013. The first known racial eugenics case originated from Switzerland in 1883 and gypsies and "mentally deficient" people continued to be systematically forcibly sterilized by the state until the 1970s, well beyond the end of WWII. We don't hear about these stories when we think of Switzerland, do we?
No, we don’t hear about them.
Don’t forget that fiasco involving FIFA.
Smells like fascism.
Oh wow, Switzerland bashing! Look at the faults of your own country before you criticize Switzerland.
@@ninanina4324 I'm Swiss and people like you are the problem.
Risk Taking was rewarded. Risk for the clients, reward for the banks/wealth managers. Let that sink in!
Nice PR, strategy by new Credit Suisse president, to onboard FT and get them onboard. A good way to own your mistakes and then promise of a clean start.
Thank you FT for your important journalism!
After the whole Greensil issue, it's pretty obvious this bank is a joke when it comes to risk assessment.
Don’t say that!! 🙂➡️😬
Brilliant piece this. So professional in its editing, content etc. FT - the finest. Bravo.
If credit suisse has been ignoring a thing called 'risk management', they are not about to start now.
I've heard that main risk manager at TFX is ex CS risk manager. It's really bad when an clearly under intelligent person thinks that they've figured out the life.
What a coverage! Amzingly put. Well done, FT!
I am not very educated in these sort of things. I do really like the way the video is presented, no drama, just facts.
The bond holders who were wiped out obviously had plenty of warning to cash out.
I work for a Swiss bank and I hate the fact that more and more former CS people join our company.
It will not end well for us. They have already effed up our corporate culture. A question of time before they eff up our balance sheet as well.
Relax. UBS and CS have always had employees crossing over.😁
great documentary
Isn't it ironical that the chairman is named Axel Lehman?
I used to work in credit Suisse as a contractor in private banking arm as I want to know if this is the right industry for me. Saw and heard a lot of undesirable conversations on the floor where the private bankers talk to their clients and worse among themselves ( the bankers are just glamourised hooligans using guns and bullets peppered in their convo. ) this was in 2009. I fled the co and finally see what I already trust how bad this bank is in 2022. Frankly credit suisse really should fold up instead of continuing its existence.
then youll love this one too th-cam.com/video/np_ylvc8Zj8/w-d-xo.html
They don't say much about the individuals actually making those high risk positions. Only very high level of managers not keeping an eye on things properly. Where do those dealers/fund managers come from? Are they the cowboys that relocated from London? London and the UK have the biggest money laundering facilities in the world. Gibraltar, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, British Virgin Islands, Bahamas ....... need I go on?
All true dat, England was an economy built by pirates, still is!

Echoes of Enron.....kept hanging on for years with reboots and fresh starts but the rot was terminal.....then broader market stresses pushed it into the grave it had dug for itself.
That case was even worse.
I'm not a paranoid gold bug but you have to ask yourself if we are going to see more institutions fail and what is going to stop it this time if governments are maxed out.
I have never worked for a more self-centered company. It will not change - just look at the salaries. More than 1300 senior manager have just one simple goal: stay as long as possible and get paid like nowhere else (1mio plus). No incentive to change the bank, just sit and earn.
how is that not normal? here in germany local village banks managers want their million per year while charging 1,50 € per paper transfer from old grannies, raising account prices, the million has to be, below is inhumane

Imagine firing a superstar CEO who turned one of the biggest banks in England from Zero to Hero because he attended a sports final ultimately paying millions. For me the story doesn't smell right, he probably wanted to change a lot of things in credit suisse that left a lot of people very uncomfortable.

Who’s watching this video today? Quite predictive.
The very top level management are going the right way but risk and compliance needs to be embedded in every day in every way. And that takes breaking up the mini empires running in CS. It may take a mass firing to get rid of those people.
While that clock ticks, I’ll be adding positions to Credit Suisse. Never let a crisis go to waste.
People hate banks and trully not care about a Swiss firm making it back.
In fact, people are fed up with the lack of accountability and would pretty much prefer scandalous bank leaders and their teams to see the insides of a prison cell for a few decades.
Looking at this video from 2 months where Credit Suisse is now on the verge of collapse, it’s hilarious.
Great video, I only heard about the archegos and greensill scandals and now I truly understand why they approached me to become a quantitative Risk analyst. They need to control their risk processes a lot better it seems.
Lol really? Well I eat dinner with Elon musk everyday
Frankly the Swiss brought in non Swiss and things went down hill. Surprise surprise.
To be honest, in the end it felt like a hit piece rather than an independent journalism. For the first 19 minutes they cover every scandal of recent years and then criticize the bank for not retaining their "talent" with ridiculous incentives. Clearly, that "top talent" was responsible for these scandals in the first place so the responsible thing for a bank is to get rid of them. Why would you criticize it if you don't want to simply paint a portrait of the bank as being a complete disaster? It almost feels like all the people interviewed shorted Credit Suisse and are trying to erode any confidence in the bank.
After the 9/11 attacks in 2001, Credit Suisse built a big IT center in Raleigh, NC to decentralize itself from having all its US operation being in the NYC area. It was a major employer in Raleigh. I did not work there. In the 2020 pandemic recession, I looked back at Credit Suisse to see if they were hiring. They had a few jobs but not much of interest. I looked elsewhere. I was not aware of their corporate demise. Wow.
have you thought about writing a book documenting this fascianting experience? so glad you shared it with us all, incredible insight.
@@Bingpot_Cowabunga lol
My only question when something like this happens is how do you lose 160billion?, where does is it all go? All of these suits can talk all day but how is someone allowed to 'lose' all that money?
If you watched the video, they mentioned that CS gave all those loses to their client’s pool of investments.
So it’s considered “part of the risk”, and there’s nothing the clients can do about it. Or probably aren’t even aware of it. Since having drawdowns are a part of investing.
Credit Suisse is the Wells Fargo of Europe
Great documentary!
The so callled International highly repuatable bank is just deguised to dupe investors and making money from trasaction , But the bank didn't have proper structure to control risky venture/investment

Lol. They hired someone called Lehmann.
This documentary only serves to confirm that wise old adage "never believe anything until it is officially denied". Turning to Deutsche Bank, this was once a solid, reliable and conservatively run bank. Things went wrong when it decided to embrace the Wall Street and City of London culture of casino investment banking.
absolutely this is a wonderful video. thumbs up !.,.,.,
Good Job well done - it's the worst bank and a shame for the Swiss financial marketplace. If this would happen in any other business or industry, they would go to jail. thx for good reporting
Softbank is the Credit Suisse of venture capital. Jesus. It's like they only make bad investments.

Excellent! Very clear, informative insight into the murky world of banking. And a very compelling argument against allowing these, completely unregulated, entities to control our national institutions - be it utilities or public services.
whomadethatsaltysoup, You just said it. And there is a perfectly legal and democratic way to do it. That is, "instead of arguing about the clock being fast or slow" --fix the clock. Nationalize the Central Bank.
24:32 more prescient words were never spoken. 16th March 2023 their stock is down 30% and will require taxpayer money to be bailed out. but the swiss are rich so i guess they don't care their money is being used, even for such frivolity.
Really interesting documentary!
UBS was one of 6 global financial institutions I’ve ever worked for and they are far and away the worst in terms of how reckless they were not only in taking risks but also in how selfish with personal bonuses members of senior management were. It was very obvious they were there to maximise their personal rewards with absolutely no regard for who would have to come and clean up the repercussions that were bound to befall their organisation a few years down the road. Everyday, you couldn’t help telling yourself everyone of them were there to milk the immense banking franchise for personal gains, pocket maximum bonuses and then leave the bank to repeat the same heists in a new employer 4 years down the road. And that’s exactly what many of them did - many of the UBS senior management members jumped ship to Credit Suisse around 2005 to 2010, the period straddling the global financial crises. And if Credit Suisse is now in trouble, it should be no surprise to anyone that some of those who were causing it had been poached from UBS during the first decade of the 2000s. This is not to say that the senior management of Credit Suisse are not culpable: they clearly are not much better. But the cowboys from UBS certainly perpetuated the rot if not took it to a whole new level. All told, i was able to witness up close what a huge bunch of moral degenerates hitherto supposedly well-regarded ‘Swiss bankers’ really were.
UBS sounds like McDonald Douglass, and how MD employees took over boeing after the acquisition and it seemed like Boeing killed their entire engineering culture and company and was replaced by the MD people especially executives. That was the beginning of the crappy airplanes and massive scandals and decline in quality. Boeing is Mcdonal douglass today and I say that because all the engineering founders and executives were forced out or left, the penny pinchers won out and they were all MD people. So UBS may have destroyed CS from within as they are cancerous. All bankers are cancer so I don't feel bad for CS at all. They probably and most likely have funded and profited off of very vile activity, so no sympathy.
The name Credit Swiss is the poster child of where not to park your money.
thanks for Credit Suisse 🤝
NYSE ADR USD 79.29 in 2007 to USD 5.36 (an all time low) with high volume as of July 13 2022.
i worked for 10 years at credit suisse in switzerland. the hq even. it was a good time. my area had nothing to do with any scandals but we had to shake heads when hearing and reading about them. its such a pity because there are working lots of great people there. the management really didnt live up to standards and there are way too many jerks working in sales/wealth management.
All major banks launder money from drug lords
Dude the whole company is a criminal enterprise, don’t kid yourself, you just had a good time because you were paid well from the suffering of the poor of the world. Get bent
@@Antekdzi1 nah. The company is huge and does tons of different stuff. Most is totally fine and clean.
@@Antekdzi1 all major banks do it
@@99cya what business were you involved in? I can't imagine a private bank who only deals with the ultra-wealthy being "clean" in any sense of the word. Like, even if the bank was diligent and forthcoming, they still catered to the Murdochs of the world.
You give little blame to Urs Rohner, chairman for +10, vice-chairman for 2 and head of legal/compliance for 5 years.
He didn't have any vision, sense of business and performed even poorly in the area of his expertise. Unfortunately he's a smooth talker and excellent networker, which kept him in power for far too long.
Not to mention how he enabled insane bonuses for the C-suite during Tidjane's time.
This even more painful to watch today
What's about an MBO ? And to have a structure like the big4.
If the stock price continue to fall, it could definately be possible ^^
Anyone else here after the death of Credit Suisse?
China just came out with a better tone toward their tech industry and markets. Assuming that geo political events do not get worse between the USA vs China. I am making a Long term asset accumulation bet on BABA
Yep, good Talk. 2022 will be a rollercoaster for sure. Stocks valuations are at an all time high while at the same time we have the threat of inflation, rising interest rates and supply chain and productivity issues to deal with. Something is going to have to give. I think it will be the Markets that will have to correct. How much and when - who knows. Sanity hasn't prevailed in this bear market and I suspect it wont prevail in a correction/crash.
@Joseph Robert Romero The crazy part is that advisors are probably outperforming the market and raising good returns. I will give this a look up, lucky i stumbled on this thread.
Investing in Alibaba would be more than recless at the moment, when China freezes foreign stock withdrawals, banks refusing to cash out its local people, tanks and APCs protecting even municipal banks and people protesting at bank buidings to get their money.
Of course you can invest, you do you, but you won't see any money or returns in the next two years since China already froze all foreign money leaving their country
@@fatalityin1 Fully agree. Current country is Russia. Foreign assets (stocks etc.) are blocked.
@@thomasgood3472 I am no monetary adviser in any regard, but you are in my opinion correct. Russia tries to annex Kherson between the first of September and the 11th of September (I don't need to tell anyone why that date may be important for Russia), but Russia already lost, even China had to abandon them. During September their stocks are going to be the lowest, if Putin does not decide to make it an all out war about what country is going to survive, but I don't think of Putin as maniac who would destroy all of Russia (this is the point I am not so sure about).
But after Russia admitted their defeat the west is going to start new trade routes with Russia, because Russia as country has access to some few rare elements nobody else in the world can provide.
thank you urs rohner, tt, lara warner and the 2000 mdrs for their big contribution
Good work team FT.
I kinda feel sorry for the chairman of CS. I can tell he’s in full damage control mode, and I kinda believe his intentions are genuine to try and turn things around. Through the whole vid, he’s being very considerate of exactly he says. Actions speak louder of course, and we’ll see what happens.
Seriously, if anyone is studying PR, watch what he says and how he presents his arguments.
He was probably brought in to do damage control.
they dooo... dont hold jur breathe
You are very trusting and optimistic.
Why on earth are they allowed to carry on trading as a bank, close it as a warning to the banking sector that they will close you down.
Great piece
As a Swiss I disapprove to have a system relevant bank with foreign CEO’s who haven’t a connection to our country and traditions. If us taxpayers once again have to help Credit Suisse we should demand of them a severe code of conduct. A bank doesn’t need to be in the news.
You are absolutely right. It seems that it has become a fashion to have a foreigner to be a CEO. Just look at US !!!
I feel you. Banking should improve a country and not undermine a country's culture. Mainly if a bank is in the news it means trouble and the greedy culture overtook the sustainable mindset of long-term growth. In the end, they just place bets and if they win they take the win, and if they lose, the house can pay.
I mean if you are thinking from a tax standpoint you should just want a CEO who can return the money back to you and restore the company back to its glory days. It shouldn’t matter if they are Swiss, American, British or etc.
Least racist Swiss
I think the problem is simpler than that. When the banks make a profit or even break even the bosses get a massive bonus. When the banks lose money the bosses have to give their bonuses back.
Just kidding, they still get a bonus but slightly smaller.
Wow.. so everyone already knew that? They just waited for it to happen.
Axel( Lehmann.) .... What could possibly go wrong!!!!
Very well done docu. Shows you cannot trust banks and other large financial institutions.
Look forward to the sequel currently playing out and if CS is still around.....
This video aged very well 👌
