Constitutional Reform: Necessary and also insufficient

Mucho se está escribiendo sobre la reforma constitucional que presuntamente debe limitar el déficit público español en los próximos años. Todos estamos viendo declaraciones a diario denunciando que si nos han vendido a los Mercados, que si se ha modificado la Constitución con nocturnidad y alevosía, que si es inaceptable que se supedite el Estado del Bienestar al dictado de los Mercados, etc. Especial mención me merece el artículo publicado el pasado día 1 de Septiembre en GurusBlog con el excplícito título: «La diabólica cláusula de la Reforma de la Constitución que entrega España a los acreedores«. Por esta vez, y Dios me libre de que sirva de precedente :), voy a discrepar, o quizá matizar algunos de los argumentos de su autor Gurus Hucky.

The unbearable levity of the banker

Hace tan solo unos días, recibimos un correo a través de nuestra web, en el que un empleado de banca privada nos hacía unas cuantas reflexiones gratas y sinceras.

The King is naked... and Mr. Market proclaims it.

On 7 August we published the first part of this article «The future of the European Union".«The misunderstood Mr. Market«In it, we tried to analyse what was happening to the market from an objective, fundamental and calm point of view. As you will recall, we said that the general price of companies at a global level was excessively pessimistic with respect to their fundamentals. Today, just 11 days later, markets are once again pricing in disproportionate fears about economic fundamentals, but exasperatingly justified fears about political inoperativeness. (more…)

European debt is more debt than others

¿Nunca os habéis preguntado por qué la deuda soberana de la periferia europea se tensiona más y su prima de riesgo crece con mayor rapidez que la de países tanto o más endeudados como Japón o EE.UU.? ¿Por qué motivo se especula tanto sobre la deuda soberana de los PIIGS? ¿Cuál es la razón por la que se aboca vertiginosamente a esas economías PIIGS al default o reestructuración inevitable mientras otros países super endeudados mantienen a raya la prima de riesgo que los mercados les exigen?

The stress of the test

In mid-2010, some well-known Spanish banks were sending us investment proposals in Greek sovereign debt. The reports and analyses we kept receiving insistently said that it was foolish not to take advantage of the yield differential between the bonds of Eurozone countries. They argued vehemently that we should not forget that, after all, this was an EU country, and that the Greeks would never be allowed to default, not even if their bonds depreciated by much more than they did at the time, with yields still hovering around 6%. In other words, little more than the yield on Spanish debt today. The arguments put forward were reasonable and reasoned, except for one small detail: They forgot that two and two are four. (more…)

The Technology Entrepreneur and the Family Office

Por the technology entrepreneur, everything moves very fast. Unlike the entrepreneur in any conventional, non-technology related business, for whom years or decades are part of the evolution of their business, in the technology company it is the quarters that precipitate events and their success or demise.
