Another zinger from Cabinet Minister Pat McFadden to Mandelson:
‘Every meeting I have is “who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others”. They’re asking the wrong questions.’

Mark Cuban explains how he pulled off one of Wall Street’s greatest trades
“When Yahoo offered us $5.7B in stock, I couldn’t sell it for six months”
“So what I did was I took every penny that I had and shorted the internet index as protection, basically taking insurance out in case the internet bubble popped”
“When I was allowed to sell it, because I couldn’t sell it all at once, it would just crater the market, so I did something called a hedge”
“What the hedge is, you can sell options. So I sold call options, which gave somebody else the right to buy my shares at a higher price in the future”
“I took that money and used it to buy puts, which protected me in case the price of my stock went down”
“When it popped, I actually made more money. It was called one of the top 10 trades in Wall Street history”
