Our Millennium crystal ball, a present from our top Russian mole - the stunning Ms Nookya Plentiov - seems to be working like a dream. Last week the crystal ball told us that the successor to 'TJ' Lim at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson would be announced within a few days. We had already clocked Andrew Pisker as the obvious candidate. Not only does he have the ability and the energy (is he really only 39?) to close the huge breach in DKB's wall, but he was the clear preferred choice of the DKB staffers in London. Pisker becomes head of the global markets division. Andrew will be ably supported by Erich Pohl in Frankfurt. Pohl is a gifted trader with vast experience and the DKB bond machine in Frankfurt is a vital platform for Pisker's strategy to push the bank firmly back up the Euromarket ladder.
