You also were not supposed to lend out 120 times what you own. Most of the banks would take $1 that they owned, lend it out 120 times to 120 people. If the interest charged in one year was only 5%, then the profit would be $6 on the dollar, per year, if everyone paid. So you could make $5 a year for every dollar you owned. So if you have $1 million you could make at $5 million a year on 5% interest only. And all you have to is sit on your ass and pay fairly low wages to maybe 1 or 2 people for every $1 million loaned. For you to lose, you would have to have 75% of the people default on the loan before you are not making money. Jeezus !....that can't be right...must have screwed up the math !...or maybe we should start a bank ! OffWorld
