Brown and bonuses 8:01pm on 27 Sep 2009 Ah sagamix...do you think that these products wouldn't have been invented if traders weren't paid bonuses?

I disagree with this sentiment as super-senior CDO-style financial products were in my opinion an inevitable by-product of the relentless hunt for yield amongst investors during the boom years.

And if RBS etc don't pay any bonuses this year a large number of their top staff WILL leave thereby weakening the company. If people calling for this are happy to see this happen then great, why not just go ahead and say this outright?
The real G20 breakthrough 09:54am on 07 Sep 2009 Lehman paid bonuses which took 5 years to vest and were mainly paid in stock. But they still went bust!!
The heat, the Ashes, the petrol and sweat 9:16pm on 23 Aug 2009 You still have a very small head jake
Back in the hot seat 11:47pm on 19 Aug 2009 You have a tiny head, Jake.
Schmidt and Jobs part company 11:13am on 04 Aug 2009 What are people saying about this on Twitter?
Spinvox, we stand by our story 1:18pm on 29 Jul 2009 I'm interested to hear what people are saying about this on Twitter. Any colour?
'I could go out here to 53rd and Broadway and get people to say hi to me' 09:07am on 23 Jul 2009 I get it, hate it and don't use it. :-)
Bruno and Bono's box office blues 11:43am on 21 Jul 2009 Yet another blog post over-estimating twitter's influence on something.

Despite the media's hype, very few people are actually consistent users of it - what is the stat; that 90% of msgs come from 10% of the users?
Twitter - too corporate by half? 12:28pm on 03 Jul 2009 Twitter is a joke/farce/rubbish take your pick.

It will never make any real money imho. Check out this quote from its founder:

""We don't know all the ways we're going to use that money, hopefully we'll keep a lot of it in the bank. If we never need a lot of it, that's great..."
Why bankers aren't worth it 10:18am on 03 Jul 2009 It is naive to impose a leverage cap based on gross assets, and not risk-weighted assets.
