Linkfest: Strong jobs; Obama, Wall Street bonuses, and moral hazard; Stan O’Neal wants to be forgotten
Categories: Linkfest
Today’s most shared:
- A strong jobs report.
- Obama says Wall Street bonuses are a moral hazard, invite excessive risk-taking to earn big bonuses while shareholders and taxpayers bear the downside risk. Also, ‘arbitrage’ doesn’t mean what he thinks it does.
- ECB says rates to remain low for ‘an extended period,’ reduces frequency of meetings to every 6 weeks from monthly, releases implementation details on TLTRO market operations.
- Google casting BBC stories about Stan O’Neal down the memory hole after European ‘right to be forgotten’ ruling, triggering “Streisand Effect,” whereby the attempt to remove information merely draws attention to it. Also, Goldman Sachs wants an order for Google to ‘unsend’ a misdirected email that went to an @gmail.com address instead of @gs.com.
- Disruption debate: Turnover in market leadership happens more often in the US than in other countries, or in the past. Maybe disruption is over-hyped, and maybe Clayton Christensen’s model of sustaining vs. disruptive innovation has shortcomings, but disruption seems to be a thing…ask your favorite local newspaper, chocolate bar feature phone or buggy whip manufacturer.
- Behind every startup is a founding myth, and someone who got frozen out. Also, startups are organizational behavior hot-houses, and not necessarily in a good way.
Have a great Fourth!
