UK’s Sunday Times round-up (13/1/08)
January 15, 2008 by alexa
The stories I found interesting this week:
Newsworthy:
Investors bale out of Britain
Give up your job and earn £100,000
Comment: fairly unrealistic investment opportunities highlighted, but one of them – being a spread better (ie wagering on economy growth) seems cool.
For quotes value:
Brown’s new spin doctor ‘deceived shareholders’
Stephen Carter, who was last week appointed the prime minister’s chief of strategy and principal adviser, admitted something naughty to a colleague.
The snort-worthy quote: “What I tell them [ie NTL shareholders – as part of his last role] is nine-tenths bullshit and one-tenth selected facts.”
Picture-value:
Raw art that’s good to eat
Comment: cool broccoli trees!
And finally… a general comment from an up-and-coming finance buff: the Post Office’s one-year intro Instant Saver rate of 5.75% looked a bit paltry in comparison to Alliance & Leicester’s 12%, for the same length of time, on their regular saver!
