FINTAG COMMENT


Efficient frontiers.

Following a Guinness day hangover on Thursday, and some decent fasting over the weekend, I am back to working, if that is what you call hassling headhunters.

FINTAG COMMENT


Top of the pops.

My models say sell but the markets say hang on a minute there is more juice left in this suckers rally. The prediction is we have reached the top. Junk is now mainstream and the Bond market is betting one way...

FINTAG COMMENT


Radical ideas.
