        No doubt some improvements but mainly a big beat up by people who just see the big $$$$ And freak out - it’s not that huge return.

        Now that he's introduced the noun, the banks are either profitable or unprofitable. So which is it?

        A profit of 1 billion might seem a lot, but if you have invested 30 billion to generate that 1 billion, its not that flash. Especially if you could invest the 30 billion somewhere else, like Government bonds and get 2.5% risk free.
