baypond Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC19fEqR5bA&feature=topvideos_news "trader on the BBC says Eurozone will crash" This is the sort of person that gives banking and traders an even worse name than they have already. He is not representative of the industry. I can not believe that the BBC didn't vet him better. Laugh, but don't take his arguments seriously.

Jazzer Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 According to the First Post, he describes himself not as a hoaxer, but an attention seeker. He has never been authorised by the FSA or worked for a city institution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time IIII saw attention seeker mooted was in the Daily Telegraph a day later.[:D][:D][:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachapapa Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 [quote user="Quillan"]Can you be a bit clearer on what you mean please re time line?[/quote]On the tube there is a little round blob that moves to the right as the stream is viewed, allowing the identification of the time at which a point of interest occurs. Jazzer should be able to direct me to the viva voce which the Telegraph seems to have copied just one day earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaud Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 From Popbitch:The tell-all "trader" who appeared on BBC News claiming he prays for another recession? His nickname, apparently, is "Ratf*ck". Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just john Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 An old business maxim goes for every plan of success make sure there is an exit strategy, and a plan for failure, for those who have unshakeable belief that the Euro can pull through, as a result of Germany's support (as indeed Tarzan believes) then I hope so for all our sakes, but it seems to me that events of the last month were not believed a little while ago and just maybe the traders/pessimists have something to support their view, at least, the Euro seems to me to be a painful currency. I am reminded of the quote "The market is a more powerful and more reliable liberating force than governments can ever be." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Turner's speech on monday, more lecturing the euro-freaks is worth a read.His use of the Goodhart phrase " subsidiary sovereign bonds" is apt to categorise the market weakness of the PIIGS.http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/Library/Communication/Speeches/2011/1121_at.shtmlThe pdf is a better read with all the diagrams available athttp://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/speeches/1121_at.pdfCharles Goodhart's paper is on the LSE site.Found a pdf copy of it.http://www.nber.org/chapters/c12599.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
