Anyone who has read our blog regularly will know that we tend to like our posts to flow and also try to use this continuity to drive the topics we choose, as well as taking input from sources such as twitter.
We raised a point in the last post about not waiting for the marketplace to return to our marketing strategy, as due to the immense and complete change of ...

“Michael Geoghegan, chief executive of HSBC, is so convinced there will be a second downturn in the coming months that he plans to delay any rush to expand the bank. “Is this a V recovery or a W?” Mr Geoghegan asked in an interview with the FT. “[I think] it’s the latter. [If I’m right], we have to be very careful we don’t grow the balance sheet so far before the recovery has come only to write it back into ...
