Back to Work

I've been on holiday. I'm feeling refreshed, renewed and invigorated - and I'm confidently expecting all that good health and happiness to be dissipated within the next 48 hours. The long faces around here would be quite comical if I didn't expect to be joining their ranks imminently.

Events, events. Bear Stearns - what banker didn't shudder with horror and simultaneously twitch with delight at that great hubristic beast's fall? As for the FSA's mea culpa, about time. From a comfortable distance, I must say, the whole mess took on a rather surreal glow. Nothing like being abroad with one's lovely family to render all things financial quite trivial. That is, apart from the correct working of a foreign ATM. Certainly, when my daredevil son fell off a 10ft wall and split his chin open, I can genuinely say that nothing in the world seemed more important than getting him to the nearest hospital. A dozen banks could have collapsed that afternoon and I wouldn't have cared.

Back to work. Oh, joy.

Absolutely Confidential - if you are still checking this, I would like to ask you to please consider continuing your blog from 2009.

As a City investment banker, your musings have provided me with wonderful entertainment and insight into the world of private banking over the last few days, after I was fortunate enough to come across you.

More importantly, your biting observations of the market turmoil and carnage this past 6mths would have been absolutely fascinating.

If not then thank you for making the time and effort, although I think you mentioned in your first post that this was more for you than me. I should probably therefore be thankful I wasn't charged a fee...

Regards
Esusda

Fantastic blog! I actually love how it's simple on my eyes as well as the data is well written. I am wondering how I may be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which really should do the trick! Have a nice day!
