I was asked to introduce and moderate this evening session with Vint Cerf in Singapore jointly organized by The Digital Movement and IDA. I didn’t take much notes but I managed to twitter a bit here and there during the session. Vint Cerf is a great speaker and therefore really needs very little moderating nor […]

Deal Flow Is Dead, Long Live Thesis Driven Investing

It is a close door session and I shall respect the decision of the organizer to keep the close door discussion, which is very interesting, private. But I raise up two points at the event that I am at a liberty to share: 1. Actually the impact of New Media has being felt in the […]

The seeds of today’s disaster were sown in the 1980s, when financial services began a pattern of growth that may only now have come to an end. In a recent study Martin Barnes of BCA Research, a Canadian economic-research firm, traces the rise of the American financial-services industry’s share of total corporate profits, from 10% […]
