Guynn The U.S. real estate bubble that popped in 2007 launched a sort of impersonal chevauchée1 that randomly destroyed trillions of dollars of value for nearly a year. It culminated in a worldwide financial panic during September and October of 2008.2 The most serious recession since the Great Depression followed.3 Central banks and governments throughout the world responded by flooding the markets with money and other liquidity, reducing interest rates, nationalizing or providing extraordinary assistance to major financial institutions, increasing government spending, and taking other creative steps to provide financial assistance to the markets.4 Only recently have markets begun to stabilize, but they remain fragile, like a man balancing on one leg.5 The United States and other governments have responded to the financial crisis by proposing the broadest set of regulatory reforms Partner and Head of the Financial Institutions Group, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, New York, New York.

  • From Our Audience
    Jan. 29, 2021 You can get information anywhere. Here, you get KNOWLEDGE. Vol. No. 26 -- 02 FROM OUR AUDIENCE OF GAMESTOP, “REDDIT REVOLUTIONS” AND MORE LUNACY Chris, I’m sure I’m not the only one to ask you about this. But I was wondering if you would be offering your subscribers a deeper take on what happened with $GME and /r/wallstreetbets? Besides it being interesting cocktail party conversation what’s it say about the smoke and mirrors of the market or shorts like the ones we are currently in? _______________________________________________________ At left, Thursday’s New York Post headline speaks to the “Mad” nature of markets of late; though who exactly is most mad (CRAZY) is a matter of debate! And the craziness was augmented this (Friday) morning by Tesla founder and boss Elon Musk who—merely by adding that Bitcoin hashtag to his Twitter page—caused an immediate 15% spike in that alleged “currency.” Crazy times!! Yes indeed, I’ve had a few folks asking for my take on all this silliness; among them my friend Drew Mariani at Relevant Radio, who I joined on short notice for an initial quick synopsis of all this yesterday at the end of his show (at https://relevantradio.com/2021/01/transg ender-push-in-culture/ ). We were rushed there, so I made but a few of my key points. But here, I’ll dig deeper. * Populist Peasants with Pitchforks. .or so the story goes Hey…who doesn’t like a great David vs. Goliath-type story? And that’s exactly what undergirds the unprecedented activity on Wall Street these last several trading days where a handful of heavily-shorted stocks have been concerned.

  • Blackrock May Never Bring 100% of Staff to Office After Coronavirus
    Login Watch TV BLACKROCK · Published 23 hours ago BlackRock may never bring 100% of staff to office after coronavirus 'I really am worried about this whole idea of culture': Fink By Jonathan Garber FOXBusiness Some bank jobs may work from home indefinitely: Report FOX Business' Charlie Gasparino says banks are telling personnel that nonessential New York City staff could be working from home well into 2021, and UBS brokers have reportedly been alerted they may not return until April 2021. BlackRock Inc. may never fully return to its pre-coronavirus routine after measures to prevent the disease's spread forced employees to work from home, according to CEO Larry Fink. It's unlikely the multitrillion-dollar asset manager's staff will ever be "100% back in oce,” Fink said Thursday at the Morningstar Investment Conference, according to CNBC. “I actually believe maybe 60% or 70%, and maybe that’s a rotation of people.” Stock Symbol BLK Stock Name BLACKROCK INC. Stock Price 558.30 Stock Change +10.24 Change % +1.87% The work-from-home environment doesn’t seem to have had much of an impact on the company’s business as employees were holding meetings via video conferencing ahead of the pandemic. The rm raked in $100 billion of assets during the three months through June, raising its total assets under management to $7.32 trillion. BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager. Fink, however, is worried about the impact on the company’s culture. Consistently ranked as one of the best places to work, BlackRock reopened its New York oce on July 20, but said employees have the option to work remotely for the rest of the year.

  • Lessons from the Financial Crisis What Have We
    LESSONS FROM THE FINANCIAL CRISIS WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? BUSINESS JOURNALISTS SPEAK OUT. Tatiana Darie Randall Smith, Project Chair PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS ARTICLE This research project aims to explore what lessons have business journalists learned from covering the biggest story of the decade: the financial crisis. Through a series of in-depth interviews with top editors and reporters who were setting the agenda seven years ago and are leaders in the newsroom today, this study wants to investigate the following research question: How has the financial crisis changed the way business journalists do their jobs today? Seven years on, what lessons have been learned? More importantly, this study wants to assess to what extent has that knowledge translated into real changes in the industry? An answer to this question would identify what tools and indicators are journalists watching now to be able to see and avert the next financial or economic collapse. Probing theories of gatekeeping and social responsibility, this paper sets out to determine how the recession has changed the roles, duties, and constraints of business journalism. RQ: How has the financial crisis changed the way business journalists do their jobs today? Theoretical Framework Gatekeeping One of the oldest and most applicable theories in mass communication research relevant to this study is gatekeeping – a concept that describes how media organizations filter information for publication (Shoemaker & Vos, 2009). Mass audiences rely and trust journalists to scan the world’s most important events and stories into digestible snippets of information. Gatekeeping explains how and why certain stories make it out in the public while others don’t (5).

  • Lionel Barber's Poynter Fellowship Lecture, Yale University
    Lionel Barber’s Poynter Fellowship lecture, Yale University April 21, 2009 Thank you very much for that kind introduction. It is a great honor to speak here as a Poynter fellow at Yale. Nelson Poynter’s program has done so much over the years to illuminate the theory and practice of good journalism. Though as the legendary Yogi Berra once observed, wisely: “In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is." These are the best of times and the worst of times to be a financial journalist. The best, because we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to report, analyze and comment on the most serious financial crisis since the Great Crash of 1929. The worst, because the newspaper and television industries are suffering, not only from the cyclical shock of a deep recession but also from the ongoing structural shock powered by the internet revolution. Now, out of Mr Berra’s proverbial left field, comes a third shock. The financial media find itself accused of missing the global financial crisis. Asleep at the wheel. Head in the clouds. Head in the sand. No cliché has been left unturned as reporters, commentators, yes even editors, have been castigated for failing to warn an unsuspecting public of impending disaster. Do these charges add up? Was the press an accomplice or merely an innocent bystander at the scene of the crash? To paraphrase the killer question from the Watergate hearings: What did the press know and when did it know it? Two months ago, I found myself, along with four other senior journalists from the press and television, answering a barrage of similar questions in front of the House of Commons Treasury Select committee at Westminster, the equivalent of the House Financial Services committee without the cerebral wit of Barney Frank.

  • The Baseline Scenario 2010-03
    The Baseline Scenario 2010-03 Updated: 5-4 Update this newspaper 1 March 2010 An Underfunded Program For Greece Simon Johnson | 01 Mar 2010 By Peter Boone and Simon Johnson The EU, led by France and Germany, appears to have some sort of financing package in the works for Greece (probably still without a major role for the IMF). But the main goal seems to be to buy time – hoping for better global outcomes – rather than dealing with the issues at any more fundamental level. Greece needs 30-35bn euros to cover its funding needs for the rest of this year. But under their current fiscal plan, we are looking at something like 60bn euros in refinancing per year over the next several years – taking their debt level to 150 percent of GDP; hardly a sustainable medium-term fiscal framework. A fully credible package would need around 200bn euros, to cover three years. But the moral hazard involved in such a deal would be immense – there is no way the German government can sell that to voters (or find that much money through an off-government balance sheet operation). Alternatively, of course, the Greeks could make much more dramatic cuts to their primary deficit – the government budget balance if you take out interest payments – in order to stabilize their debt-GDP ratio. But with no significant resurgence of growth in the eurozone coming for a long time, that would really mean moving from last year’s 7.7% GDP primary deficit to around a 6% GDP primary surplus (assuming they face a real interest rate of 5%, i.e., below what they are paying today).

For more information, please contact [email protected]. PRIVATE INVESTOR MEETINGS IN PUBLIC FIRMS: THE CASE FOR INCREASING TRANSPARENCY Martin Bengtzen* ABSTRACT While developments in the law of insider trading usually attract significant scholarly interest, far less attention has been paid to the design and effects of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s complementary Regulation Fair Disclosure. Yet, this Article argues that the SEC’s current quandaries relating to insider trading enforcement are largely self-inflicted and could have been avoided if it had better aligned its Reg. FD with the Supreme Court’s insider trading jurisprudence. Introduced sixteen years ago to prevent senior officers of public firms from leaking material information to preferred investors and financial analysts, Reg. FD was designed to function as a backstop for undesirable favoritism that insider trading law, as developed by the Supreme Court, could not reach—in particular, the situation where a corporate manager divulges valuable information to a preferred investor not for any obvious personal benefit (which would trigger insider trading law) but for the ostensible benefit of the firm.

    April 17, 2017 Office of Regulations and Interpretations Employee Benefits Security Administration Room N-5655 U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20210 Re: RIN 1210-AB79, Fiduciary Rule Examination Ladies and Gentlemen: We are writing on behalf of the Consumer Federation of America (CFA)1 in response to the Department of Labor’s request for comment regarding its reconsideration of the conflict of interest (or “fiduciary) rule. This unjustified exercise has unnecessarily disrupted the remarkable progress financial firms have made to comply with the rule just weeks before implementation was set to begin. At best, the new legal and economic assessment will simply reinforce what we already know: that conflicts of interest are pervasive; that they exert a harmful influence on the recommendations financial advisers make to their retirement advice clients; that the retirement savings of workers and retirees are seriously eroded as a result; and that the Department acted well within its legal authority to craft a strong and workable rule to address those harms. If the Department conducts a fair review, it will inevitably conclude that the rule is working even more quickly and more dramatically than anyone could have reasonably expected to rein in the toxic conflicts that have for too long been allowed to bias retirement investment advice. Meanwhile, retirement investors will have suffered billions of dollars in harm because of this needless delay. Indeed, the evidence from the retirement plan market suggests that, if the Department erred, it did so by casting too narrow a net. If the Administration is serious about improving the ability of Americans to save for retirement, it should be looking, not to roll back this essential reform, but to expand the rule’s fiduciary protections to a broader swath of the retirement plan market.
