Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Banks agree measures to tackle kidnappings

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:49:00 GMT

THE HEADS of the Republic's main financial institutions have agreed to implement a range of security measures to frustrate so- called "tiger" kidnappings following talks with Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern and a senior Garda delegation.
Informed sources told The Irish Times the key matter that arose at yesterday's meeting was an agreement by bank chief executives to restrict the amount of cash bank workers can access and to increase the number of people who need to be involved in opening a vault.
Other sources said the ability of a junior bank worker to take a ransom of over [euro]7 million from the Bank of Ireland in College Green, Dublin, in February was greeted with "incredulity" in Garda and Government circles.
