    Royal Bank of Scotland: CEO Deathwatch [view article]
    It was purchased for 12 billion. I do not know how the 100 billion came into play. It was perhaps the most painful day of my career as I was short about 1% of Charter One.

    Charter One was purchased for about $10 billion, not $100 billion. Reply

    Barclays lost 2.5% when they wrote off £1 billion.
    Well done Grace

    NO way is Accenture being bought out. Think HP buying EDS will be challenging? Try buying out a 170,000+ person company which is what Accenture is right now. Reply

    Grace, what's up with FMC? I think you meant FRE. You should ask the editors to remove your article from the FMC forum/board. Reply

    Volker talks straighter and is closer to the truth than Greenspan. Enjoyed portions of his testimony beore congress yesterday.

    Curious how so many miss the point: The US economy has been juiced with financial leverage and the party is ending.     Reply

    It looks to me that AIG has played the same game as MBIA and ABK and have used their insurance reserves to gamble in the CDS market. If so they are lossing big time. With the stock down about 43% from its high there's got to be real trouble here. Insurance regulators should be extremely concerned. Reply

    I don't know how you can trust anything that anyone in the financial system says. They did after all create this problem in the first place and they have got it wrong again and again and again. Reply

    This is more of "the worst is over" hype to pretend there are no more problems. Goldman Sachs' analyst expects $700 billion more in write downs, Merideth Whitney of Oppenhiemer expects $45 billion at Citi alone. The bulk of the adjustable mortgages are coming this summer, with 1.5 million delinquent loans resetting. The worst may be over -- but maybe it is still coming. Notice how the inflation number was just 0.1% today as gasoline was down, or the April jobs number showed only 20,000 lost jobs, but Barron's analysis showed 296,000 lost jobs. The government is cooking the books -- so just wait. Reply

    As an Englishman, a put or two on Barclays might be worthwhile. Reply

    Regarding AMSC, find out who is the one big customer they have and where that customer is from, (plus ownership) then get back to us. Reply

    I'm getting pretty damned tired of reading what Greenspan has to say. Isn't it about time he rides off into the sunset? Reply
