If PIGS could fly

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:42:12 -0500

"The fate of global equity markets is very much in the hands of bond investors. Under normal circumstances, this is the best time to be in equities. But these times are not normal, so do not expect that the outstanding performance of 2009 will be repeated in 2010. If international bond markets calm down again – and that may happen, at least temporarily – equities can probably post further (but modest) gains in 2010; however, the end game is approaching. If bond investors do not revolt in 2010, they probably will in 2011, so playing the economic recovery through equities is a dangerous game," argued Niels Jensen in this guest post.

Google Shuts Down John Hempton’s Bronte Capital … Why?!

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 14:00:30 -0500

[Update 2: Bronte Capital is back online. I will leave it to John to explain the what and how of this. Nice to see swift reaction no doubt due to John himself pushing hard in the background, but it still begs the question of why the heck it was pulled in the first place.]

I really don't have time for the details here, and the details are actually quite important in this case. However, since this is about a blog (on Google's blogger account) written by fund manager John Hempton which is shut down exactly, one would presume, because of these details I really cannot oblige you (yep I can, see below).

Felix Salmon, however, provides the gist of the situation and I fully endorse his points and arguments. On a personal note, I have semi-regular contact with John and I know his blog quite well. The idea that it should be spam is absolutely nonsense. Google has a big problem here! But then again, this is Felix' point too.

Here is to hoping that the situation is rectified very quickly by Google (and preferebly with an apology too).

Update: By the way; here is John's latest post (that caused the shut down presumably) nicely tugged away in the Google cache.

Will eBay Hang Up on Skype?

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:29:21 -0400

The Financial Times thinks so. The British paper quotes eBay’s CEO John Donahoe as saying the online auction firm will test Skype for “synergies” this year and, if those synergies aren’t strong, reassess the division. EBay purchased Skype in 2005 with a potential payout of $4.1 billion. However, last year eBay wrote down [...]
