Global Investment Banks

I've always had a soft spot for Global Investment Banks. Well, who wouldn't? With their quirky ways, and strange terminologies these cheeky little conglomerates are guaranteed to tug on the heart strings of even the grumpiest of cynics. I, for one, have always found it difficult to resist the temptation to pop into their IT departments and do a spot of programming for them. Call me a soppy old git if you like, but it's something I just can't help.

But there is a more serious side to Global Investment Banks, or GIBs as they're affectionately known in the business. Without them the world would be a lot less global, not so much investment oriented, and just generally less banky. In fact, without Global Investment Banks we would not have many of the great things we have today. Even pooclub is a product of a Global Investment Bank.

Oh yes, indeed! You may think that pooclub was founded as a forum for 5hitespace readers and authors, and it was, but it was actually born at Credit Suisse First Boston, Cabot Square, Canary Wharf, London. Many pooclub members, past and present, have worked for and conducted poomail from such illustrious bodies as Barclays Capital, Morgan Stanley, ANZ, UBS Warburg, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank Of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank.

Pooclub has its tendrils in some of the most powerful financial institutions in the world. More money passes through pooclubbers hands than is held in many countries' reserves. Clearly, anyone who sticks with pooclub is one day destined for riches beyond their wildest dreams, and all thanks to the wunch* that we have here in our prestigious forum.

You lucky, lucky people.

*Wunch - Collective noun for a group of bankers.
