@Hot_Pepper76 Smashing Pumpkins, Gish (1991). Chamberlain's drum intro left me speechless. Still today.

Dolosus versatur in generalibus

A few months ago, I wrote an article where I analyzed frame by frame the video of the March 19, 2023 press conference in which FINMA, the Swiss National Bank, the Swiss government, and the CEOs of CS and UBS pompously announced to the world the "rescue" of Credit Suisse.

If you watch the video, you will realize that none of the participants mentioned that the merger between UBS and CS would result in a write-down of CHF 16 billion of AT1. This cost was entirely borne by the investors, much to the delight of UBS for the benefit it received.

During the press conference, despite being asked specific and direct questions by journalists, FINMA avoided answering clearly and opted to use vague and general language, leading to responses that lacked any meaningful information. This lack of intellectual honesty was evident in their attempt to hide behind meaningless answers.

But if FINMA was really so sure of the existence of a contractual basis contained in the issuance prospectus to write-down AT1s (as it continues to tell us not without arrogance today), why during that press conference, followed by the whole world, did it instead prefer not to put its face to it? Why did it gloss over the biggest AT1 write-down in history, and preferred to announce the dirty deed only with a subsequent written communication?

Dolosus versatur in generalibus, said our wise ancestors!

I never post my articles on social media because bragging is not my thing. But the sudden passing away of Geordie @Killingjokeband shocked me, even more so because I found out days later, by pure chance. The least I could do was to dedicate him an article. Honour the fire 🔥

Uh... probably this is obvious: if Twitter is now X, should 'tweets' be called "Xs"? Just another thought about how uninteresting X is, not to mention that all of a sudden my feed is being spammed by ladies 'X-ing' undesirable 'Xs' 🫤

@vurnt22 Proto-LIVING Colour, of course. Sry 4 the typo, though 'loving' is also true...😉

@vurnt22 Always wondered how much Chuck Berry owed to Sister Rosetta Tharpe... I love these artists who were ahead of their times.

Not too comfortable with this update... is it the final nail on the coffin of the little blue birdie? In doubt, shall hold off for a while...

And yet, billions of $ are forked out 'pronto' to save (er... bail out) recklessly managed banks in the attempt to avoid another 2008-style financial meltdown. This story by @nytimes is unsettling, to say the least. https://t.co/PKRhHaNu4a
