Daily News Roundup 2012: Friday 11 May
Good morning The headlines: Mitt Romney bullied in school. Link: He apologises. Yes – the bullier. Apparently, that all changed after a Mormon missionary program with his wife in France. Bloomberg names one of the bulliees as Gary Hummel. I mention it only because the gay character on Glee is Kurt Hummel – and given the […]

Good morning The headlines: The Spanish Bond Auction had high demand yesterday. Spain met all of its targets yesterday, with the subscriptions for 10-year bonds being almost double the amount sold. Agreed – the yields on the 10-year bonds were higher than the last sale of 10-years (February); but they didn’t break the magical 6% […]

Good morning It’s going to be a short one. I’m in Cape Town today, which always makes it feel like I’m on holiday.

Good morning The headlines: I guess the big news of the day is that Rick Santorum has suspended his nomination for the Republican Presidential candidate. I love the way that Americans use the word “suspend” like somehow he can change his mind if he’d like. Uh no. Either way – I’m a liberal at heart […]

Good morning The headlines: Facebook has agreed to buy Instagram for $1billion. Everyone is going “so they’re spending their IPO money on iPhone apps!” But on the Instagram front: I have a number of friends that have been desperate to buy iPhones so that they can partake in the Instagram cult. So kudos to this […]

Good morning The headlines: In Eurozone news, the pressure is properly hyping around Spain. This after the near-tragedy of Spain’s debt auction yesterday. Spain sold 2.59 billion euros worth of bonds in the auction – which was just above the minimum amount that it had planned, but well below the maximum of 3.5 billion. At […]
