I was at the mall yesterday to have my old dress watch repaired by an experienced watchmaker. It was a gift from the wife on her first business trip abroad many years ago, so...

What Will The New Year Bring'
From An Investment Banker's Take On L, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I live in a country where we celebrate two New Years--January 1st and the Chinese Lunar New Year, whose exact timing changes from year to year. For this year, the Chinese New Year happily coincides with Valentine's Day, February 14th. In the Chinese lunar calendar, 2010 is the Year of the Metal Tiger.
According to this Chinese geomancer, Tiger years bring adventure, exploration and

Dubai World Debt Crisis: Keynes Was Right
From An Investment Banker's Take On L, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
?If I owe you a pound, I have a problem; but if I owe you a million, the problem is yours', so said John Maynard Keynes. That's the exact same predicament the creditors of Dubai World and its property unit, Nakheel, find themselves in right now. Only that here we are not talking of just a million, but a cool $26 billion in the aggregate. Worse, if we factor in all creditor risks, including the

A Hat Tip to Facetime.com

I noticed a couple of visits from Face-time.com yesterday, so I checked out this new site which appeared in my blog stats. As it turned out Face-time.com included this blog in its Blogroll, together with the likes of Bankers Ball, Deal Breaker, Wall Street Oasis, Leveraged Sellout, Mergers & Inquisitions, and seven other ibanking blogs. To say the least, I find it humbling to find my blog in

Free Email Trading Course For You
From An Investment Banker's Take On L, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I want to make it up to blog readers who stumble upon this blog, expecting that they could get advice or pointers that may be useful to their trading activities, either as a career or as a personal interest, but often walk away empty handed. Well, I occasionally have trading-related posts, but these are admittedly far between and mostly macro issue-oriented in nature, hardly useful to a

My good friend Vic shared this with me today. Somebody else forwarded it to him, so I don't know where the original came from and whom to give the real credit to (hopefully, I'm not infringing on any copyright restrictions). Regardless, enjoy the story:Once upon a time, in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.The villagers, seeing that

Crude Oil And Straight Lines
From An Investment Banker's Take On L, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
A number of readers found my earlier post on Crude and Energy (click here) useful and educational. In particular, Investment Advisor, one my blog readers, had encouraged me to follow it up with similar write-ups. I've been busy thereafter, so I really have not had time to do further research on the oil market. Fortunately, Brad of INO.com saved me from such research. I received today an email

The two-day summit meeting of world leaders from the Group of Twenty (G20) kicked off yesterday in Pittsburgh. This is the third of such summit held since the the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history, a year ago. High on the summit's agenda is the urgent need to reach agreement on financial reregulation, in order to prevent a repeat of the global financial crisis

Crude Oil & Energy Update - Interview with the CME Group's Joseph Ria
From An Investment Banker's Take On L, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I don't actively monitor the world energy market, but I could tell from the frequent changes in our local pump prices this year (the oil sector has long been deregulated) that world oil prices have become volatile--again. True enough, Chris Cermak filed the following report yesterday:Politicians are beginning to fear a repeat of the summer of 2008, when the price hit $140 per barrel, sending

A Hat Tip to InvestmentBankingReturns.com
From An Investment Banker's Take On L, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I'm unable to trace from my stats when my blog started receiving visitor traffic from InvestmentBankingReturns.com, but I did notice some activity coming from that website after I blogged about the Goldman Sachs trading code fiasco, so my curiosity led me to do a reverse search. InvestmentBankingReturns.com looks to me like a brand-new (apparently Australia-based) investment banking website with

New "World Currency": A Misleading Report
From An Investment Banker's Take On L, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
At least two online news organizations (here and here) picked up that bit on Russian President Dmitry Medvedev showing off to media at the recent G-8 meeting in L'Aquila a gold coin, which purportedly is a sample of the new "world currency". Between the two, I'm disturbed by the news published by Telegraph.co.uk whose headline and lead sentence are both written in a matter-of-fact manner that
