That european equities are largely on holiday and think that trend does actually continue. The stoxx 600 is down by 1. 1 today. Theres a big china effect, but in this youre looking at names like hsbc, which has a u. K. Effect as well, but also a chinese effect. Plus some of the miners acting as a little bit of a drag. So stoxx 600 down, maybe moving away from that 460 level. The names that i think are actually interesting today speak kind of against that narrative. The european consumer seems to be alive and well right now. The u. K. Consumer seems to be alive and well right now, which is surprising considering what is being chucked at them. Marks and spencer, the stalwarts of the british high street, has been revamping its stores, refining its strategy. Its beginning to work. Theyve upgraded their numbers. But its interesting, its not just in clothing. Its also in high end groceries as well. This is fascinating. This was unexpected. Marks and spencer responding to it. Look at that sha
Of sports, was held today in tehran with the presence of the president , mr. Raisi emphasized the need to establish a large and wellequipped Sports Complex in tehran. In the dignity of National Champions and to be able to host foreign guests, the stadium should be formed in tehran. I completely agree with the community. I believe that it should be followed and that the cost of our course here is the amount of investment. In my opinion, if we can build a dignified Sports Complex in tehran that is worthy of sports and the championship of the great nation of iran. This can definitely be followed. I also agree with this. The special guests of the National Team training are a number of children with autism. Today, the special guests are the last training of the National Team before meeting the National Team players. Nervous disorder and it is an evolution that affects the way a person interacts with others and communicates with his behavior. On tuesday, the head of the Disciplinary Committe
Farmers to respond to Avian Influenza on their facilities. Biosecurity is a term that describes every day and emergency disease processes a farmer uses to prevent and control diseases. It is probably the single greatest weapon that we have against Avian Influenza. Unfortunately, biosecurity is not consistently applied by all farmers and all Poultry Companies. We need to look at, as far as number two is concerned, a few aspects of our current Emergency Response plan so we can respond more quickly, more rapidly to an incident. We can get into that a little bit later. Number three, provide an Insurance Program for poultry farmers who contract with Poultry Companies to raise their flocks. Dr. Clifford mentioned indemocrat any fictionindem ni indemocrat fictions that have been paved. Thats very important. They may or may not receive those indemnification. I think we should look into this seriously. Vascy nation for controlling Avian Influenza in poultry requires very serious consideration.
Their own studies show the main drivers of default are loan devalue, borrower credit score. Everything else is literally a rounding error. And so of course, the final doddfrank rules essentially abandon the things that actually drive default. And endless servicing requirements, again making it near impossible to foreclose. My opinion is the rule increased foreclosures last time around rather than decrease them. And the harder it is and the mission has nothing to do with financial stability. The mission is to use the the regulatory system to force prudent borrows to subsidize imprudent. We all knew the crisis was quite costly. It also will provide a cover for massive expansion and government powers. One minute. Im not even go i think to need that. So i would say and would say avoid financial cryises. I think a repeal is not enough. The presystem was broken. It was flawed. And to me one of the real flaws of doddfrank is it extends the precrisis system. The theme of doddfrank is, lets exp
Minerals for firms not only firms getting the actual hard commodities there, but also for firms well down the supply chain, who have no idea where the aluminum in the electronic parts came from. So i think its telling when a liberal law ultimately convinces the Washington Post Editorial Board that it was a bad idea, which they have come out against conflict minerals. Its time to revisit the motion all together of including immaterial disclosures in security laws. Both by legislative fiat and by the sccs own power. And republican and democratic chairmen have both been guilty of this. I think it should be a binding constraint on any rule making. And business round table stands for the proposition. How is a mandatory immaterial disclosure going to provide benefit to investors . None. By definition fails cost benefit analysis. We have ways to measure immateriality. Methodology that has gotten great in the last ten years. I think it should be a binding constraint, the same way for litigants
