Latest news
Conference call anatomy — Our brand new field guide to corporate tedium
Middle management blues — our own tribute to W.H. Auden
General counsel and “self-awareness” go together like soup and naval signaling systems.
Next following: what it has to do with Voilet Elizabeth Botts out of Just William.
The J.C.’s nutshell ISDA ... and a burgeoning nutshell equity derivatives defs!

A stroll through the brambles, taking in law, management, philosophy, language, technology, cricket and high finance. Like a good alluvial fan, everything is silting up nicely and there are now 4,622 articles in this wiki.

What's in here

Anatomies: Clause-by-clause nutshell guides to ISDA Anatomy and other master trading agreements, which may be incomplete, out of date, out of touch, flippant — well, they are flippant — or rubbish but are still guaranteed to be better value than that FT book about derivatives;
Book reviews culled from twenty indolent years sounding off on Amazon;
Much flippancy about plain English, buzzwords, flannel, Latin, Greek, metaphor and eggs.

Like The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, this site has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate. Enter at your peril. (Yes, that's a disclaimer — lest the sky should fall in on my head, or yours.)
