OK
Thanks to the ones who do actually research AND remember.
Let’s get down to it:
Who tried to save Barings in the 80,s?
Yep me and a few others with a consortium that only failed cos UK govt jumped in and said:
No we know better and let’s tell the MARKET – Nikkei we are long but we will short it,
About the best one bet ever!
Market and the taxpayers lost twice the amount.
1992 Mr Lamont - £ safe – collapsed – yep made a lot.
2000 ish sold everything except houses.
Sort of thought we were in for a few probs .
2007 – still working in Finance – cancelled all lending for my dealing teams to RBS/HBOS/Notthern Rock/ Alliance & Leicester etc – All went bust a few months later.
That’s my credentials
Plus whilst never ever having in side information of course.
Your choice.
