Review Sanctions and Sanctioning! Talk with Iran and Iranians!

February 11, 2010

Analysis of:Italy, U.S. urge tougher international stance on Iran | balita.ph

The assumption that sanctions would quickly contribute to improvement in behavior of the Iranian leadership is not well founded. Rather, Western style behavior would be furthered by Western companies being active in the Iran and interregional transport systems being put in place. Therefore, sanctions should be lifted.

January 20, 2010

Analysis of:In reversal, federal regulators now propose to limit oil and gas commodities | www.washingtonpost.com

January 15, 2010

Analysis of:UK bank shares shrug off 'manageable' Obama supertax | www.citywire.co.uk

Regulate Distribution and Interaction with Banks, No Regulation of Fund

December 16, 2009

Analysis of:Investment funds winning war on regulation | www.euractiv.com

Proposals focus too much on the surface, that is, traces that are, in media or popular belief, associated with funds. They should turn to investment behavior in general.

Better Strengthen Corproate Governance than Combat Symptoms

May 8, 2009

Analysis of:Industry attacks draft EU hedge-fund bill | www.euractiv.com

Stress testing and improvement of corporate governance within banks, not rules for counterparty choice should be strengtheneed in order to make them more resilient, in particular also where it has become clear that they do not adequately assess counterparty risk. Hedge funds are generally efficient capital allocation mechanisms because they are unregulated. Regulating them will lead to such capital allocation mechanisms to migrate to unregulated areas, be they geographical (offshores) or legal (private companies). The crisis has been caused by the overflow of liquidity not allowing for adequate risk reward for fixed income investments. Introducing limitations to capital allocation will exacerbate this problem further to the additional liquidity that is in the market supposedly to combat the crisis.
