PR@Carlyle.com We are delighted to announce the appointment of Olivier Sarkozy, half brother of He Who Must Not Be Name Dropped (Too Much), to boost the fund’s presence with financial institutions.
boywonder The fitness frenzy in the bond market is getting better and better by the week. If you thought no one could beat Chris Tuffey’s fitness efforts last week, you can eat my sweaty Lycra shorts. We have a proper sportsman entering the fray.
HowToSpendIt@ft.com We would like to remind bored market participants that vin chaud and Château Margaux are still on offer at Chalet Kernow for a ridiculously inexpensive £18,500 a week, courtesy of Charlie Berman.
events@HSBC.com Phew! We’ve been flat out organising our monumental Chinese New Year Party. How appropriate that 2008 is the year of the Rat: lean, mean and happy to scrounge around in the sewer for sustenance.
HR@sgcib.com Phew, what a busy week! We’ve been swamped by CVs for a position that’s just come free —an internship on our equity derivatives desk. The pay isn’t so wonderful but there’s plenty of freedom to indulge in a little light trading.
Fix Dinkum What a week! Financial hacks have had the time of their lives. Equities plummet! Bernanke slashes rates! Monolines saved! Not missing anything are we?
FixDinkum Before we start, let me wish a happy new year to all our dear readers for 2008, hope you all had a good break. Now for 2008, we wish you big bonuses, no job losses and lots of mandates to execute. And most of all, may it not resemble the second half of 2007.
Fix Dinkum At last, it’s nearly over... And what a year it’s been... about time we were all able to head for sunnier climes or the slopes and finally forget about 2007.
