What a brilliant example of somebody who actually cares about fellow human beings! He has been ignored by the FSA who wouldn't provide the appropriate license to trade as a bank, and was forced to 'trade' via the back door so to speak, but he looks like he is winning and I say very well done Dave Fishwick who operates a van sales company, and in doing so is a self made millionaire.

He has shown that money can be made, without taking too much risk and in fact made a profit of over £9k in a six month period with his venture, doing what the banks have been doing, but without paying out horrendous bonus' as the banks have to their employee's. The profit he made was given to various charities so he has made a difference!

I am behind with what happens next, but will continue to watch what he does with great interest (no pun intended). I would bet that the banks are actually sh......g themselves over this example, as well as the fact that Credit Unions are also springing up all over the country! The banks are in trouble and they know it. They have been shown to be a bunch of crooks, and have lost the trust of the public, who now join in to give them a good kicking anytime they can. The banks are responsible for destroying businesses as well as this beautiful land, but not for much longer!

Don't forget....BANK ON DAVE.................well done Dave!

What do you reckon members?

Yeah, thanks for that CathyML. I intended doing it to allow the explanation without me having to type in all in.

He's doing a b....y brilliant job and deserves a Knighthood for it!

The banks have had it, finished!! It may take another couple of years for people to recognize the fact, but this guy Dave is the man!

I feel this is such an important post that I bump it up to the top by commenting again, and hoping people will read it, because this guy is going places! We need people like Dave Fishwick....we DON'T need the banks in their current form, simple as that!

I heard this on the news the other day, and all credit to the man.  It's about time someone took on the industry.  I am so glad to be out of that environment now.
