about

The Asymptotix website is an eclectic collection of random observations collating a coherent thread neither exhaustive nor definitive simply a contribution to the debate reporting our specific experience highlighting technical stuff relevant to this financial and business crisis we are all living through.

We at Asymptotix want to take an intelligent guesstimate as to how the pennies are likely to drop as this recession morphs its way through its various phases. We have a commitment and expertise in financial markets and Contract Management, we understand Predicitve analytics, not many actually do; we can see that “big data” more generally is the pivotal challenge of our age going forward, whether it’s in Customs or Money Laundering or the more challenging high powered issues of Capital. We believe in the Exchange Traded everything, autonomic end game first envisaged in the 90s by IBM.

We still believe that capital Markets particularly will pull the technological frontier forward as it has always done in terms of applied practical technology which enhances the quality of individual life and that when they get themselves sorted out the trajectory of democracies will return to some stable sustainable steady state. Its old fashioned but we believe that over and above intelligent agility, experience and expertise, hard work is needed too now more than ever. We are faced with the most complex set of problems in the world of today; solutions and roadmaps are NOT easy to articulate but asymptotix will work hard to do that where it has its finger on the pulse.

We are on your wavelength so long as you are on one which is sane, rational and deeply considered, we can help you even if you are simply planning, strategizing, considering how to position yourself after the pennies drop.

ECB Statement 2 September 2010 - interest rate unchanged - refinancing operations with settlement 17 October 2010 3 month

Based on its regular economic and monetary analyses, the Governing Council continues to view the current key ECB interest rates as appropriate. It therefore decided to leave them unchanged. Considering all the new information and analyses which have become available since our meeting on 5 August 2010, we continue to expect price developments to remain moderate over the policy-relevant medium-term horizon, benefiting from low domestic price pressures. Recent economic data for the euro area have been stronger than expected, partly owing to temporary factors.

How Deutsche Bank survived the crisis

JOSEF ACKERMANN, the head of Deutsche Bank, combines a silky manner with blunt words. When the German government set up a bail-out fund to stabilise the country’s banking system, he said he would be “ashamed” to use it. When Europe and the IMF bailed out Greece, Mr Ackermann said he doubted it would pay back the loans. And when regulators and economists say that big banks should be broken up, with “casino” investment banks split off from “utility” retail banks, Mr Ackermann retorts that “smaller banks will not make us safer.”
