Just watched "The Big Short" last night. If you want the reality about the self-appointed Credit Rating Agencies take time to watch it.
It'll make you madder than a hare in March, or at least it should if you care about the way we have all been, are being, and will continue to be shafted by the global investment banks and their sycophantic agencies like S&M and Moody's.
Every time I hear on the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation that some foreign-owned investment bank is threatening to send staff to another country because of the LEAVE vote, I give a hearty cheer. Send 'em all to Las Vegas where they belong.

The times i have heard that,is as many as the times they say after- we aint gonna send anyone.

and it is those same banks that lobby the big cheeses in the Eu so that the banks agendas are fulfilled.
Goldman Sachs fudged the figures about the greek economy when Greece was trying to gain entry to the Eu...had they not done this Greece would never have met the criteria for entry.
I don't think I could bear to watch your recommendation...my blood pressure would not stand it...and the TV might come a cropper.

Was Carney still with Goldman Sachs when that happened? Odds on it'll be that or another investment bank he creeps off to after he's finished trousering his pay from Osborne.

No. He was Governor of The Bank of Canada. He first joined as Deputy Governor in 2003.

The US national political system is almost designed to be gridlocked into inactivity. As a result many recent US Presidents seem to have had little ability to change things at home so they travel the world telling others how to behave and/or drop bombs on some of them when they don't.
Of course the founding fathers of the US of E got round that problem by making the European Parliament powerless, but well remunerated, so that it can't frustrate the unelected executive.

Just thought I would pass on some good news...the FTSE is actually HIGHER than it was before the referendum result...shares have gained everything they lost in the panicky hours after ...some of them have even gone up in value.
