From: Jim Moore Jr
Subject: Banks & Bankers
Listening to commercials on the radio for banks these days, with all the talk about conversion and redemption, I'm not really sure if they're promoting finance or religion.
This one older lady, not quite up on the ins and outs of banks, was surprised to receive a notice demanding payment on her loan.
She called the loan officer & said, "I can't return your money. I'm not finished with it yet."
Not all banks are as solvent as we imagine them to be. I went into mine the other day and told the loan officer I was interested in a loan.
He smiled and replied, "That's great Mr. Moore ! How much can you let us have ?"
Explaining their policy on not cashing checks for people who don't have accounts with their bank, the teller said, "Why if he didn't have an account here, I wouldn't cash a check for my own brother."
The irate customer replied, "Well... you know your family a lot better than I."
While the US stock market is at an all time high, the ups and downs frighten a lot of small investors like me. I went to my financial advisor at the bank and asked if he were worried.
He replied that he slept like a baby. I was amazed and asked, "Really ??? Even with all the fluctuations ?"
He said, "Yes. I sleep for a couple of hours, then wake up and cry for a couple of hours."
