Meh. Don't like this. For me I _like_ their being no history associated with the new tab - then I never lose track of a central "research" tab and the various separate avenues of exploration that I've opened. IE actually

Yes exactly. Market participants all knew what Libor was and how it was computed. I mean some tenors never even traded - they were always made up!

You realise that no bank was fined for _actively_ laundering money? And by that I mean there was no institutional conspiracy to do so. The money laundering that occurred was facilitated by a very small number of low-level staff who hid what

It's a direct result of the regulatory and reputational risks that banks now face. Threatened with multi-billion dollar fines for facilitating money laundering they're not taking any chances.

No sure I get it. It seems people don't like being reminded that whilst they're very keen for people richer than them to share their wealth, they're generally very reticent to share their own wealth with people poorer than th

You should take a look at annuity tables. 20k rpi-linked at age 60 will cost you nearly a million. There are very, very few people retiring from the private sector with pension pots worth this. And those that are probably fall into the &quo

There are police forces in the UK where 50% of their annual budgets is going to people who no longer work there. This is _insane_. Pensions should be funded from savings / investments made during working life, not taken from future tax

wowser I just took a look at that. totally confusing, can not understanf why anyone in UX would find that acceptable. I honestly think this Material thing is just a huge troll of the design community.

That's not true for domestic currency bonds. There's no chance of default as a sovereign can always print more of it's own currency. Sovereign yields are driven by inflation expectations and what investors need to earn on exc

by retube 10y ago
A common refrain in the UK is that inflation figures are an elite conspiracy with the reality being much higher than reported. There's an awful lot wrong with CPI/RPI measures, but needless to say this is tinfoil-hattery.

yes there's less manufacturing jobs. There's also less farming jobs, and less clerical jobs, and fewer blacksmiths, cobblers, seamstresses and about a 1,000 other professions too. But the developed world is at near full employment

So far automation has not resulted in net fewer jobs, but more productive jobs replacing more mundane ones. That has been the story throughout human history. I see no evidence that is going to change. Indeed "AI" has so far only c

This cannot be real. Seriously, every candidate asked to submit to this should tell the recruiter/employer to get f*cked. Totally unacceptable, unreasonable, patronising.

You are satisfying a market demand. There are millions of companies who need to risk manage their interest rate, FX and commodity expodures. Banks offer a service to their customers and charge for that, just like any other. How is that not

They generate returns for their investors, which are generally institutionals such as pension funds and asset managers. How is that not providing value?

To those of you remarking on the lack of response to applications: 1) recruiters get a lot of applications. 2) it's risky providing feedback. "Unlikely to be a team fit" could lead to discrimination claims.
