Florida can be a risky place. One story on the radio was of a jogger in Miami who went too close to the bushes alongside a mid-city canal and got snapped up by an alligator. Likewise there are stories of golfers on bayou courses who go looking for that lost ball in the undergrowth and end up losing their best Calloway driver in a fight against o...

Given the amount of negative press swirling around the financial services industry--and in particular around the banking segment of the industry, it would be great if some of the banks who are not at the center of the storm would step up to the plate and be a little (or even a lot) more visible. The results of a Nielsen IAG survey released yeste...

From The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (as sent by Colin Knox to Private Eye) : "AD1125 In this year sent the King Henry, before Christmas, from Normandy to England, and bade that all the mint-men that were in England should be mutilated in their limbs; that was, that they should lose each of them the right hand, and their testicles beneath. This was...

I'm very smart. I'm in the news, I'm on TV, in print, I'm written about constantly in blogs and I'm very very famous. Every day people try to be me and some are very successful at it.

Let me explain.. What technology can bring to table? Yesterday I was seeing some of the dashboards for banks. Looking at them, I found that it can’t be a dashboard - all static one. Like a standing car - when somebody just insert key and unlock handle. You can see fuel meter dial gauge indicating the static position. Right now the dashboards exist...

The Hammer of the Gods came down on me. I pissed off Led Zeppelins lawyers. It wasn't intentional, I was just a fan. There wasn't even a term for it when I did it. What was it? Cybersquatting. Cybersquatting is the act of procuring someone elses trademarked brand name online as a dot com or any other US based extension. Cyber squatters squat for ma...

Actually thats a complete fabrication but if I entitled this blog CP 8/22 I didn't think I'd get much of a response . The recently released CP08/22 'Strengthening Liquidity Standards' is the FSA's response to the challenges set out to the regulators by the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision in their Sept 08 paper 'Principles for Sound Liquidity...

Getting the business wisdom Business wisdom is next level of business intelligence. Companies are stuck in bloody Red Ocean and fighting on to grab market share; nobody is trying to create a blue ocean. Achieving business wisdom means proactively respond and make changes in your existing system before the problems reach to the harbour.
Interesting development on the credit card front. Once more, the Government is trying to make out that the financial services industry is at fault for pushing credit on people. Whilst I subscribe to the view that there needs to be shackles on mortgage salary multipliers and LTV ratios (because that is heavily price-inflationary), I am less certain...
