@Hot_Pepper76 Smashing Pumpkins, Gish (1991). Chamberlain's drum intro left me speechless. Still today.

Dolosus versatur in generalibus A few months ago, I wrote an article where I analyzed frame by frame the video of the March 19, 2023 press conference in which FINMA, the Swiss National Bank, the Swiss government, and the CEOs of CS and UBS pompously announced to the world the "rescue" of Credit Suisse. If you watch the video, you will realize that none of the participants mentioned that the merger between UBS and CS would result in a write-down of CHF 16 billion of AT1. This cost was entirely borne by the investors, much to the delight of UBS for the benefit it received. During the press conference, despite being asked specific and direct questions by journalists, FINMA avoided answering clearly and opted to use vague and general language, leading to responses that lacked any meaningful information. This lack of intellectual honesty was evident in their attempt to hide behind meaningless answers. But if FINMA was really so sure of the existence of a contractual basis contained in the issuance prospectus to write-down AT1s (as it continues to tell us not without arrogance today), why during that press conference, followed by the whole world, did it instead prefer not to put its face to it? Why did it gloss over the biggest AT1 write-down in history, and preferred to announce the dirty deed only with a subsequent written communication? Dolosus versatur in generalibus, said our wise ancestors! antigua.news/2023/10/03/cs-…

"It’s hard enough to live in places where you expect white supremacy, but not from your own people." How on Earth can ANYONE ignore Lenny, Living Colour, et al.??

I never post my articles on social media because bragging is not my thing. But the sudden passing away of Geordie @Killingjokeband shocked me, even more so because I found out days later, by pure chance. The least I could do was to dedicate him an article. Honour the fire 🔥

Thank you to Corriere del Ticino for writing a story based on my article…. Grateful for being quoted.

Nella vicenda del salvataggio di Credit Suisse, e in particolare della decisione della Finma di azzerare il valore (circa 16 miliardi di franchi) delle ormai famigerate obbligazioni AT1, emergono alcuni curiosi e per certi versi inquietanti elementi risalenti a quei concitati giorni di marzo. cdt.ch/news/economia/…

Uh... probably this is obvious: if Twitter is now X, should 'tweets' be called "Xs"? Just another thought about how uninteresting X is, not to mention that all of a sudden my feed is being spammed by ladies 'X-ing' undesirable 'Xs' 🫤

SongOfTheDay for 08/22/23 Any Color by Edwin Birdsong from Supernatural (1973) written by Edwin Birdsong. Produced by Eddie Kramer. This obscure album had a seismic effect on my feelings about Rock music. For one thing, it introduced me to Ronny Drayton’s life altering 🔥guitar🔥

And yet, billions of $ are forked out 'pronto' to save (er... bail out) recklessly managed banks in the attempt to avoid another 2008-style financial meltdown. This story by @nytimes is unsettling, to say the least. nytimes.com/2023/03/19/us/…
