McCain’s Very Special Rant
Article :
April 2008
Having received the snub from Wall Street, as donations pass him by in favor of Obama and Clinton, Sen. John McCain has decided to unleash the lions on Corporate America, calling its pay schemes "outrageous" and "unconscionable" (especially as his fundraising efforts have seemingly failed to benefit by them). More from the Straight Talk Express, which, even we admit, holds a slight advantage over Hillary with the growing weariness and wariness over a “democracy” where the presidents’ surnames threaten to flash Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton into infinity.

‘I Will Not Be The Scapegoat’
Article :
February 2008
Famed “rogue trader” Jérôme Kerviel has finally broken his unexplained silence, letting loose to Agence France Presse just as his alma mater, Société Générale, takes an equally defensive stance against foreign takeovers. Whether you see Kerviel as likely to be parroting his lawyers at this point or a veritable fall guy, these remarks are a must-read for anyone curious about what really happened – and what possesses a trader to literally break the bank on wild and wooly bets.

RBS Raises Big Money
Article :
September 2007
The Royal Bank of Scotland raised five billion euros for the purposes of covering its bid (within the consortium of banks that it leads) to buy ABN Amro. Reuters, citing Dealogic, reports that this "represented the biggest tier 1 capital issue on record". The total bid from the consortium that RBS leads is around 70 billion euros. Barclays is also competing for ABN Amro, but at around 50 billion euros, its bid is significantly less than the consortium's. Experts not only see this as positive for this particular deal, but for the credit markets as a whole.

Private Equity Is Still Awesome
Article :
August 2007
Reports of the death of private equity by way of the credit crisis have been greatly exaggerated, says CNNMoney. The big investors "are still plowing money into buyout funds," says an article they published yesterday. In it, they cite this statistic: Private equity has already raised $139 billion this year so far. Last year, $212 billion, but that number is set to be exceeded. They say that while the credit crunch might hurt the huge blockbuster deals, there are still a great deal of opportunities and returns to be generated.
