First off please take a minute to peruse this from the FT outlining the politics behind the 19th National Congress of the Communist party of China kicking off tomorrow.
Afternoon all,
Some complaints last week that it was all business and no pleasure so in honour of the G20 Summit in China it’s time to lift the lid on a little-known Chinese Summertime tradition: The Beijing Bikini.
Afternoon all,
Firstly some apologies. According to clients and colleagues I’ve been a little negative lately and some have pointed to the theme of my notes lately as evidence.
All I’ve done is point out the significant headwinds we’re facing and allowing people to make appropriate diversification preparations. I’ll try and stop going on about the banks and point to the real reason for the negativity being that I now sit next to the office television which plays a continual stream of advertisements ranging from health insurance, life insurance, funeral insurance, pet insurance and disability insurance. There’s only so many reminders of your own fragile mortality you can take in a day before you start to get a little caught up in it. (However I’ve picked up a screaming deal on pet insurance!!)
