The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital
- Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity. -

12. the Oil-Igarchy
151 12. The Oil-igarchy “Competition is a sin.” - John D. Rockefeller From farm to pharmaceutical, diesel truck to dinner plate, pipeline to plastic products, it is impossible to think of an area of our modern day lives that is not affected by the petrochemical industry. The story of oil, is the story of the modern world. Parts of that story are well known, Rockefeller and Standard Oil, the internal combustion engine and the transformation of global transport, the house of Saudi, and the oil wars in the Middle East. Other parts are more obscure, the quest for oil and the outbreak of World War I, the petrochemical interests behind modern medicine, the big oil money behind the green revolution. But that story, properly told, begins somewhere unexpected, not in Pennsylvania, with the first commercial drilling operation and the first oil boom. But in the rural backwoods of the early 19th century New York state. And it doesn't start with crude oil or its other derivatives, but a different product altogether...snake oil. Dr. Bill Livingston, celebrated cancer specialist was the very image of the traveling snake oil salesman. He was neither a doctor nor a cancer specialist. His real name was not even Livingston. More to the point, the rock oil tonic he pawned was a useless mixture of laxative and petroleum. And had no effect whatsoever on the cancer of the poor townsfolk he conned into buying it. He lived the life of a vagabond, always on the run from the last group of people he had fooled. -

SEC News Digest, 11-25-1977
Issue 77-227 u.s. SECURITIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS EXCHANGE COMMISSION NASD SANCTION AGAINST WILLIAM E. BRANDOW REDUCED TO CENSURE The Commission has modified the sanction imposed by the NASD on William E. Brandow, a Minneapolis insurance broker. The NASD had suspended Brandow from association with any member for one year. The Commission reduced his sanction to censure. Brandow was the administrator of a Minnesota school district's tax-sheltered annuity program (TSA). Among the insurance companies he represented was one which sold variable, as well as fixed, annuities. Variable annuities are securities, and the company which sold them is an NASD member. In his capacity as TSA administrator, Brandow sent letters annually to school district employees about the various annuity plans offered in that program. The Commission sustained the NASD's finding that the letter Brandow sent out in 1975 was sales liter- ature required to be filed with the NASD. It also affirmed the NASD's finding that Brandow failed to file that letter, and a similar one mailed in 1974. The Commission reversed the NASD's finding that the content of Brandow's 1975 letter was misleading. The Commission found that Brandow erroneously concluded that his letters were not sales literature covered by the filing requirement. It noted that Brandow's "failure to file was not prompted by contempt for the rule," nor did it suggest a lack of integrity. The Commission also noted that the pendency of this case has precluded Brandow from working for an NASD member. In effect, he had already served a lengthy suspension. -
