Their commercials crack me up. “Money should be fat, it should be big…” Red piggy bank rolling and skating around with dollar bill signs in its eyes. Love it.

If you have five dollars and HSBC has five dollars, HSBC has more money than you.

HSBC can divide by zero.

On the anniversary of it’s founding, HSBC randomly selects one lucky Chinese and/or English child to be thrown into the Sun.

HSBC doesn’t believe in Germany.

“The Hong Kong-based banking house”

HSBC is headquartered in Canary Wharf in London.

I also wouldn’t read too much into this. HSBC (and most UK banks) are still smarting over the sub-prime crisis and are treading gingerly.

They can’t keep posting losses every quarter. Who do you think they are? An American car company….?

HSBC’s name written in Chinese translates to Hong Kong Shanghai Silver Company. Their headquarters in Hong Kong is pictured on the HK money. We put old government buildings on ours.

Think about the responsibility HSBC has to it’s masters and you’ll understand why this is big.
