      They make their money by investing mine. In return, they provide me a safe place for my cash and financial services. Fair deal. I’m OK with that.

      Having said that, fuck banks for private individuals. Go credit union, all the way. And while we’re at it, call your bank and tell them you don’t want overdraft protection. They have to turn off the NSF fees, and that’s not my opinion and it’s not negotiable. It’s law in the US.

    My employer sells “stocks” to employees that don’t show anywhere and you can only sell them back to the company after two year. Exchange also isn’t immediate. Company chooses the date.

    They really want people to buy those things and are heavily campaigning for it.

    They also give a small amount of these stocks as bonuses to people that have performed well.

    When I say to people that buying those “stocks” just gives the company free loan, they look at me weird.
