Bank of China to buy stake in LCF Rothschild

[Doctor Cynic]

Source: FT

Bank of China, the world’s fifth largest bank, is to take a 20 per cent stake in La Compagnie Financière Edmond de Rothschild, the family-held asset management and private banking business.

The move signals that, in spite of the financial crisis, Chinese institutions are willing to invest in western banks.

The Shanghai and Hong Kong-listed commercial bank will pay €236.3m ($341m) for the stake in the French arm of the La Compagnie Financière, which was created in 1953 by Edmond de Rothschild and has been chaired by his son Benjamin de Rothschild since 1997.

It is the first strategic investment by a leading Chinese bank in the eurozone. The deal will allow Rothschild to tap into a fast-growing class of wealthy Chinese, while providing Bank of China with financial services products to sell to increasingly sophisticated Chinese investors.

1. Could they buy her mouth and tape it shut?

I'm sure they'd get favorable treatement from a Palin-McCain administration if they did so.

2. "Her"? Try not advocating mistreatment of women

while claiming to be a Democrat.

4. I can only reply

FUCK HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's a Rothschild, who claims to be a Democrat, and calls Obama an "elitist". Yeah, right.

I'd classify her with the word McCain called his wife.

Howard, if you haven't already, and you have the authority to do so, THROW HER THE FUCK OUT OF THE DNC!!!!!!!

8. Give it a fucking rest. Just because she's a woman doesn't make her above criticism. n/t

[MrModerate]

14. I realize that your post referred to some Rothschild asset or the other . . .

My "joke" (if I may call it that) referred to a specific person, who the McCain campaign was no doubt aggravated to hear said something stupid on a day when *all* of their supporters seemed to be making fools of themselves on the air.

To take my comment about gagging one person and translate it into "advocating mistreatment" of an entire gender suggests to me that you should maybe lighten up.

3. I guess you could ask this person

She married into the family after she met her future husband at a Bilderberger meeting. She was introduced to him by Henry Kissenger. I shit you not. Her billionaire husband is 22 years older than her. She has a castle in England and splits her time between the US and Great Britain. She claims that Obama is an "elitist".

I shit you not.

11. Is Lady De Snooty Part of that Branch of the Family?

From what I gather, there are several branches of the Rothschild family, based on the four original brothers.
