Y Rivera, más que el retrato del yerno perfecto y del golden boy de la tercera vía, es la encarnación de su propio partido: joven, universitario, urbanita, europeísta, liberal, reformista, cosmopolita, españolista, “meritócrata” y… mestizo. Familia currante. Padre barcelonés, madre malagueña. Y un abuelo emigrante en Francia y en Suiza cuya personalidad y fama identificaron muchos años a Alberto Carlos como “el nieto de Lucas”.

Rivera liberalismo
El tiempo de Rivera es el auge de la comunicación y la caída de las ideologías. La agonía de la izquierda y de la derecha. La amenaza del nacionalismo y del populismo. La respuesta de la bandera comunitaria y del reformismo. La época de los movimientos. Y no de los partidos. La política de la transparencia y del pragmatismo.

What if leveraged SNB sells AAPL and MSFT
How Many central banks are long in stocks like Our SNB ? Why the public or the political parties are not outraged ?

Luigi Zingales, finance professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, is calling for a more-proactive antitrust approach that would have kept Facebook from buying up Instagram and WhatsApp. He says the antitrust action against Microsoft (MSFT) in the 1990s and early 2000s helped create a climate in which Facebook and Google could rise to the top. But he worries that the current crop of leaders are growing too powerful to cut into their advantage. "A system where this does not change is a system that is fossilized and hurts everyone," he said

bernholz snb
Gemessen am Ausmass der Interventionen der SNB am Devisenmarkt kann man das wohl bezweifeln. Denn sie waren seit 2015 nicht wesentlich geringer als während der Zeit des festenWechselkurses zum Euro (vgl. Grafik 1) und haben erst in den letztenMonaten deutlich nachgelassen.
1. Die Marktteilnehmer wurden offensichtlich durch die Freigabe völlig überrascht, also sozusagenaufdemfalschen Fuss erwischt.
2. Die notwendigen Interventionen der SNB, umnachder Freigabe einenweiteren Absturz des Euros zu verhindern, waren bis vor Kurzem nur wenig geringer als vor der Freigabe. Das vermutlich deshalb, weil vieleMarkteilnehmer nun mit einer weiteren Aufwertung des Frankens und damit mit Gewinnen rechnen konnten.

Ralph Atkins YESTERDAY Switzerland’s central bank made bumper profits on its currency holdings in 2017, with a performance that would put many an ambitious hedge fund manager to shame. The Swiss National Bank said on Tuesday it expects to report profits of around SFr54bn ($55bn), the largest in its history, thanks to a weaker franc and buoyant global stock markets. The steep rise in profits – up from SFr 24.5bn in the previous year – highlights the turnaround at the Swiss National Bank since the start 2015, when it was forced to abandon its attempts to cap the value of the super-strong Swiss franc. The sharp rise in the Swiss currency three years ago – a time when the European Central Bank was aggressively loosening monetary policy in the eurozone – led to the SNB reporting a loss of SFr 23.3bn in 2015, largely as a result of losses on its foreign currency positions. In contrast, the franc’s decline last year, which accelerated from late July, increased the value of the SNB foreign currency investments – which stood at SFr725bn at the end of September. In a statement on Tuesday, the SNB said it expected profits of SFr49bn for 2017 on its foreign currency positions. There would also be a SFr3bn valuation gain on its gold holdings. Shares in the SNB, which as founded as a joint stock company in 1907, more than doubled in price last year to exceed SFr4,000. One explanation for the steep rise was that investors were expecting a big payout. But SNB dividends are fixed by law at a maximum of SFr15 per share – the amount the SNB confirmed shareholders would receive for 2017. Some SFr 2bn would be distributed to Swiss federal government and the country’s 26 cantons. Photo: EPA

Some are now suggesting that come-ons need to be constricted to a repressive degree. Asking for oral consent before proceeding with a sexual advance seems both innately clumsy and retrograde, like going back to the childhood game of “Mother, May I?” We are witnessing the re-moralization of sex, not via the Judeo-Christian ethos but via a legalistic, corporate consensus
