Not trying to be the smart ass guy but the real main things that investment banks do that differ them from retail is:

1.Underwriting/debt offerings/ equity offerings
2. M & A advisory
3.Alternative investment /hedge/ private equity

Hi, have you thought about this program called the Intellitus Cash System? (go search google). My mate says it gets people oodles of profits.

Hello sir, You are very knowledgeable, but I think you speak too fast, which makes it difficult for non British people to follow you.
