Feeling poetic this morning. Here’s a haiku;
Credit Suisse is gone
Who will be next to fail
Watch property debt.
To the moron who thinks 100% recyclable means you can throw this out of your car window into a hedgerow. You can’t. How about we all come round and throw litter in your garden! 🙄 #litter
Busier than ever. Moderating at #BuildingBridges in Geneva. Panel on Innovative Finance.
Cathie Wood @ARKInvest at #BuildingBridges - “Arks disruptive tech strategies are intrinsically ‘impact’ investing.” Nothing on the funds performance unfortunately.
Sergio Ermotti @UBS #BuildingBridges on pressure to disinvest from oil companies. “We are not the owners of the assets, we do not make the decisions.”
When asked why @UBS hasn’t done more on the climate recently, Ermotti replied “we’ve been quite busy recently making the bank secure” #creditsuisse to laughter from the Swiss in the audience.
I feel fortunate to have seen it in its full glory last year. Heartbreaking! A metaphor for the mindless behaviour of our age sadly.
Much focus on government support for Birmingham City Council. But little mention of the £2.6 bn pension deficit as of March’22. Up from £1.4 bn in 2011. Are public sector pensions safe? How many other council’s are in deficit? Who pays?
Maybe Rick Haythornthwaite the new Chairman @NatWestGroup could ask why the bank only gets 1.4 stars on @Trustpilot and read the reviews before he starts the ‘turnaround’.
Listened to #R4 naval gazing over debt woes @pizzahut today. Lots of #covid #CostOfLivingCrisis stuff. But why no mention of £100m debt funded MBO 5 years ago?! Why no mention of private equity? 🙄
