When more than three believe the same delusion it is called a religion. Or a philosophy. Or an ideology. Or an economic school. Or an AGW believer. Or a denialist. Etc. Many on this board and on Earth are indeed fanatics yet too blind to see even vaguely their fanaticism and obsessions to be right (and in some cases to just post in an inflammatory manner)... regardless of any contrary data or facts. Sign of the times as we likely ramp up to more war. -ng-

Better investment opportunities are making private banking a “domestic game” in Brazil with as little as 5 percent of wealth in offshore centers, said Joao Albino Winkelmann, a director at Banco Bradesco, Latin America’s second-biggest lender. “A lot of people used to keep their money in Geneva, but that doesn’t happen anymore,” said Winkelmann, who helps oversee $31 billion of client assets. “Very few Brazilians are sending money abroad.” That’s changing a relationship started in the 19th century when Swiss banks guarded the fortunes of plantation owners and mining magnates. UBS AG, Credit Suisse and other Swiss banks are being forced to seek acquisitions as Latin America’s $3.5 trillion wealth management market is set to grow by more than half by 2016, according to Boston Consulting Group. journalgazette.net
