Investment Banks and Finance Companies.

Investment banks offer services in equity capital markets, leveraged debt capital markets, commercial real estate, asset finance and leasing, and corporate lending services. The major functions of investment banks are raising funds, asset management, mergers and acquisitions advisory services, brokerage services, and market making. The asset management function of investment banks involves managing the funds of corporations and investing in stocks, fixed-income securities/bonds, derivatives investments, and other types of investments. Investment banks are actively involved in mergers and acquisitions by performing the functions of deal making. Securities underwriting is the process by which investment banks raise investment capital from investors in the form of equity and debt capital on behalf of companies and government authorities. Underwriters offer a set of services for initial public offerings (IPOs) or seasoned equity offerings. The methods used for IPO pricing are the fixed price method and book building process. The debt capital markets services divisions of investment banks solicit structures and execute investment-grade debt and related products, which include new issues of public and private debt. The strategic changes in investment banks has often been cited as a reason for the economic crisis that crippled the global economy.

Finance companies are specialized financial institutions that make loans to individuals and corporations for the purchase of consumer goods and services. The three major types of finance companies are consumer finance, business or commercial finance, and sales finance.

it's strange realising i can just Do Things, like i saw a video of someone eating dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets and i thought "damn i've never had dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, those sound fun" and i was going to move on when the siren call of the nearest grocery store reached my brain and now i'm telling myself that no, i do not need to purchase dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets just because a part of my brain really wants them.

Oh oh also in addition to calling a well-known banker a tax evader, here's some more absolutely unhinged things to say in a bank-sponsored interview that Mr Käärijä very much said in the Aktia webinar:

When asked about his first debit card - a service provided by banks - he said that switching to using a card instead of actual cash he could physically hold and measure in his hand messed with his sense of how much value money holds, implying it as one of the root causes for the irresponsible financial decisions in his youth

He also off-handedly called pension funds - also a service provided by banks, and a huge source of profit for them too - a scam and straight up told young listeners that if they ever invest in one, they're never going to see that money again

thoughts on rafe age gap with an upcoming reader???

Hiiii!!! I keep getting invites to create money manager accounts from my bank & various credit cards, and i was wondering if y'all could explain what they are? I've tried to research them but can't make heads or tails if starting one is a good idea or not. Any advice??? TIA!!

First off, here's what you do with those "invites":

They aren't invitations. They're advertisements. You can safely ignore them. We explain all about it here:

Here’s What to Do With Those Credit Card Pre-approval Offers You Get in the Mail 

Now, a "money manager account" is probably just some kind of investment account. When you're ready, you can do some research on both investment accounts and credit cards on your own, and choose accounts based on YOUR needs, not what your bank wants to sell you. For more on that, read this:

Hope that helps!

If this helped you out, tip us!

THEORY ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I was looking stuff up about tarot because I'm a big proponent of fool Ratio and was hoping to find some more straws to grasp at, and I came across the oldest preserved tarot deck, which is the Visconti-Sforza or Pierpont Morgan deck.

And I was like oh that's crazy that I'm here looking for Star Rail lore and I find reference to Pierpont, which sounds a lot like Pier Point, the name of IPC headquarters.

Looking at the cards, they all have this gold embossed diamond pattern in the background that I think looks similar to the diamond/triangle motif in the Stonehearts Myriad Celestia.

Tarot is also heavily influenced by Egyptian mythology, so I think it's interesting that there are also references to that in the Stonehearts video (Aventurine's trial with the scale, Sugilite's statues of Anubis).

But anyway back to Pierpont, it turns out the cards were purchased by the Morgan Museum in New York, which is now open to the public, but started out as a massive private collection owned by John Pierpont Morgan, better know as J.P. Morgan, the uber-wealthy investment banker of the late 1800s/early 1900s. It's giving preservation, AND it's giving capitalism, the IPC's literal two favorite things.

Wikipedia also says that he "specialized in taking over businesses that were promising but struggling," which kind of sounds like the IPCs whole business model with what we know about Topaz's backstory and Belobog.

I also think all of this ties in really well with the like New York art deco imagery in the Myriad Celestia.

I don't know if I think the Stonehearts are supposed to correspond to the major arcana 1:1... some of them I can see like maybe Aventurine = Wheel of Fortune or Jade = the Lovers (because of references to the Garden of Eden), but there are more major arcana than stonehearts + Diamond. There are 14 of those cards surviving in the Visconti-Sforza set but that is still more than 11.

I don't feel like any of this is super conclusive but I just feel like there's something here. Does anyone have thoughts or anyone who actually knows about tarot have something to add? <3
