  • There seems no end to the number of Ponzi schemes being uncovered. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced yesterday that it had charged Honolulu-based Marvin Cooper and his company Billion Coupons (BCI), with operating a fraud that involved more than 125 customers – all of whom are deaf.
  • Some might say the real estate industry is for dreamers. That's a great thing when you apply your dreams to developments that shape a skyline and a city. But it's another thing when the focus shifts only to the building's projected financials and loses sight of the assets themselves. What is happening in today's real estate market has been a rude, yet much needed awakening. In the end, it's always about the assets.
  • A surprise development has emerged in the longstanding dispute over clearing between dealer firms in the CDS industry and the European Commissioner for the Internal Market and Services.
  • To mark its 40th Anniversary, Euromoney announces a new programme of international financial publishing scholarships:
  • In a sense the bank lending market is handing over to the corporate bond market, which offers opportunities alongside many dangers. Select bonds very carefully!
  • Debt drought means BAA may not come close to £2 billion price for forced Gatwick airport disposal.
  • New US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner took just three weeks to disappoint those hoping he could find a way to bailout US banks and give a lead to the rest of the world. He may have put off creating a bad bank to purge the system’s toxic assets, but its day will surely come.

  • As my esteemed editor recently joked, FX participants are almost identikit now: 40-something, grey-haired, bespectacled professionals, rather than youthful, pointy-headed jubs who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
  • This is a conversation I could have had this week with almost anyone working in FX for a bank: “Was your bonus any good?” I might ask. “I shouldn’t complain,” would be the reply. “But I will anyway,”
  • It’s good when simple questions are answered in terms that even thickies like me can understand. Recently, I have been slavishly following EUR/GBP because, more by luck than judgement, I am long of a euro-denominated asset and I have started wondering if I can – in a phrase so often heard wheeled out over the past few years – release some alpha through FX. It seems the prospects of EUR/GBP reaching parity change daily, so I have been struck by a bad case of dithering: Should I hedge or not?
  • The weeklyFiX was sent a note this week saying that the Polish government was discussing a new regulation that would result in the cancellation of currency options transactions written by some of the country’s exporters. The news, first mooted back in December caused quite a sharp move in EUR/PLN. It also rekindled memories of the debacle in Russia in 1998, when a dodgy Micex fixing resulted in many Western banks having to wear losses when they thought they should be booking profits.
