No ChangeI don't get complaints, only thanks. He can't work for Big Bank.
He could well work for mid-sized foreign bank where I was a few years back - their IT was terrible. They cancelled 2 London IT projects, writing off a total of £160 million! They only had a thousand employees in London - they should have just upped the bonuses by £160k each!
Ouch. That's even more money than the increase in palm kernel/coconut oil has done to my business in the past two weeks!
No, he doesn't work for a mid-sized foreign bank - it's a big American one. He's just asked me if I want dinner tonight, so any more questions for my trader friend on interest rates, and I can report back tomorrow? :cool:Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. - Jefferson0 -

Perhaps this has come up on his Bloomberg thingy!?June 6 (Bloomberg) -- Where will U.K. interest rates peak? Most people in the market say it is somewhere between the current 5.5 percent and 6 percent. They are kidding themselves. When the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee begins its two-day meeting today, it should consider a shock half-point move straight to 6 percent. Meanwhile, the markets should be thinking about rates peaking closer to 7 percent. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&sid=a6VK2CRqd7bo&refer=home0 -
