  Tea with FT — Authority: 137
  Sir, in your editorial “ US spring fails to spread to Europe ” May 4, if it could really be called a “spring”, you write “fixing the banks to help the recovery is the lesson Britain and the eurozone must learn from the US.” The real difference between the US banks and your banks is that the former ...

  Tea with FT — Authority: 137
  Sir, Gillian Tett’s “ The cost of living hand-to-mouth ” May 5, is splendidly scary, especially when contrasted with all the how the US is doing great hoopla on FTs first page… especially since there is nothing in the “for our business it has become critical to understand the cycle – when pay [and ...

• More than the public borrowing rate trapped at zero, it is the banks that are trapped into public lending

  
  Tea with FT — Authority: 137
  Sir, I refer to the “ Austerity is hurting. But is it working? ” debate, April 27. The Yes camp, represented by Chris Giles advances by far the strongest argument by just stating the fact that with respect to “finances to fight crises or wars. Advanced economies had leeway in 2008; they do not now”. ...

• Regulators, you can even let Libor be the result of a raffle, but please stop distorting and subsidizing the risk-free rate

  
  Tea with FT — Authority: 137
  Sir, I refer to Tom Braithwaite’s and Brooke Masters’ “ Regulators urge speed in replacing the Libor rate ” April 26. By allowing banks to hold much less capital when lending to the “infallible” sovereigns than when lending to “risky” citizens, regulators have completely distorted what is probably ...

  Tea with FT — Authority: 137
  Sir, Philip Stephens refers to the “high public debt suffocates growth” vs. “it is low growth that drives up debt” controversy.

• But also beware of the much greater risk derived from excessive lack of testosterone and dopamine

  
  Tea with FT — Authority: 137
  Sir, the fundamental problem with good articles like Sarah Gordon´s “ Call in the nerds – finance is no place for extroverts ”, April 25, is that they tend to analyze risks from the perspective of when risk-taking goes bad, without caring much for when risk-taking goes right. The problem we are facing now ...

• Banks told to sit down and shut up or else some of them will get ice cream and others won’t, which will indeed totally suck

  
  — Authority:

• Derivatives: Struggling Into the New Era – Outlook 2013/14

  
  — Authority:
  The past few years have been challenging for the global economy but it seems as though the derivatives industry sustained more than its share of insults and injuries over the past year or so.

  — Authority:
  Up until now, Ive always been a bit suspicious of complaints from the likes of Vince Cable, the business secretary, that the banks are gratuitously and deliberately starving UK business of the credit it needs to grow.

• With respect to increased capital requirements for banks, what matters most for growth and stability is how it is required.

  
  Tea with FT — Authority: 137
  Sir, I refer to Alex Barker´s and Tom Braithwaite´s “ EU and Fed clash over US bank move ” April 23.
