Morning Bob,

Not so sure about our Nick’the’Timmy-Boy’Leeson, he’s so far up his own arse his eyes have turned brown, no, Ravi’s the one, he’s our main man now, I recon he’s just starting to feel his feet with that bitch Pandora!

Ah, the old 'bear-trap' eh!

Does Ravi have a foot fetish - is Pandora a sexy female or what ?

Dont think so Bob, Ravi is Ravi Chafri, Man’s newest co-head of foreign exchange at AHL, its systematic managed futures manager.

‘Pandora’ is grim’s name for AHL’s complex algorithmic black-box, due to the hellish nature of its software running around inside the thing, Timmy-boy (T Wong) is frightened shitless to take the lid off, lest he creates a storm that cannot be undone.
I’ve ironically named it ‘Pandora’ after a certain young lady who was more than happy to take the lid off her particular black-box!

Grim - let me get this right -
Timmy can not open his black box because he would be frightened and shit less in a storm, but Pandora did open her black box and was more than happy.
I think I've got it now ????????

great to hear that.

hmmm........ !

Grim - No offence intended, do you seriously think bringing that chart over here is going to change anything mate? At the present time it is just as fxxxed as it was over there, or am I missing something?

Fair point Mr Carson, no I don’t expect it to change anything especially not short term, but I like charts and I think this chart demonstrates quite clearly how AHL’s performance has ruined the company value of this stock.
You mention something as being ‘just as fucked as it was’, admittedly the sp trend is delaying any pull from AHL value, but as I’ve mentioned in previous posts, if AHL continues to creep higher, my EMG share price will have to break-out of it current trend in support of company value sooner rather than later, and I wouldn’t expect that move on the 24th of July!

Fairplay grim :O)

FAO: Ravi.

Grim thinks its time to switch Pandora to virtual running lads, she does not have the ability to smartly ‘about-turn’ if this recent euro jobby takes off, so if you’d like to kick the plug off the wall we’ll get the electrician to wire you back up and running for next Wednesday.

Time to think outside the box!

grim

There you go Ravi, I trust you heeded grim’s wise sentiment yesterday, and didn’t let Pandora run headlong into the Euro with short intent!

No! Of course you didn’t, you’re not an imbecile like Timmy-boy are you, you stood your ground and told em straight, ‘grims right… lets not throw away all our recent hard work, just because nobody here can rewire a 13 amp plug’!

“The euro jumped nearly 2 percent, oil prices surged and world stocks rallied on Friday after euro zone leaders agreed on measures to cut soaring borrowing costs in Italy and Spain,…”[1]

Our share price suggests that AHL took on big hammering last Friday!

-3.6% for Friday nice one Ravi! Of course you know best, don’t listen to this idiot grim, he’s just a simple fuck!, well what can I say except it looks like you’re a complete waster as well as that chimp-boy Wong!

All that work! All that fuck'n work!

I wouldn’t put any of you fucks in charge of a wheelbarrow!

Redemption city it is then Pete me old pal!

Which part was it of my post 42 you didn’t quite understand?

Was it the ‘virtual running’ bit! Or perhaps the removal of the plug from the wall socket! Or was it truly a case of ‘I couldn’t give a monkeys fuck, cos it aint my dosh I’m chuckin away!’

Tell you what though pal, grim aint gonna forget this little heap of wanton criminal neglect for some time to come, I’m looking for you pal, come the next AGM, “your gone!”, out the door you wont even have time to clear your desk!

Bob Diamond today, Peter Clarke tomorrow!

These idiots just can't get it right (or left even). Small gains always get dwarfed by big hits in one day. When will they get AHL more balanced instead of all bets one way!!!!

“LONDON--Man Group PLC (EMG.LN) on Tuesday said it has appointed Judy Saunders to advise on its U.K. institutional business as pension funds indicate they plan to boost allocations to hedge funds.”[1]

Here you go Pete me old ex-pal, why don’t you put Judy in charge of Pandora for a wee while, just show her where the on/off switch is located and she’ll be fine!

“The company has sought to blame volatile markets for AHL's troubles, in particular because it is a computer-driven futures trading model which, Man says, suffers when markets are unpredictable.”[1]

So a question, would you step out into a busy street blindfolded, if you knew the traffic was particularly ‘unpredictable’?

FAO: Jon Aisbitt. Chairman

Hi there Jon, hows the chairmanship going along, nice and peaceful at the old meetings are we?
Now look grim’s bin thinking, how this for radical idea, we all know that Peter’s been a little, how shall we say, a little out of his depth with this AHL jobby over the past couple years, thanks to his misguided pleroma, well here’s the plan, why not remove said and replace him with Manny!
Our Mister Roman would bring a breath of fresh air into Man’s entrenched milieu, and as a younger and more dynamic force, he would be best placed to implement the difficult and unpopular decisions needed to shake up some of those bent on sending this company to the wall.
Consider the alternatives, we need action and we need it like yesterday.

Stay sharp,

grim

AHL down a staggering 1.7% for yesterday! ! ! !

Pandora has switched to terminal velocity!

Here you go Pete me old ex-pal, you’ll have something to explain away your AHL neglect now to our major shareholders!

“The Bank of England is expected to fire up its printing presses for a third round of economic stimulus later on Thursday just two months after shutting them down.”[1]

Small point of interest Pete, grim’s reckonin that you’ve only got about 300 days left as Man Group CEO, so get pilfering chap, but you don’t need me to tell you that do yuh, silly grim!

“Should the City have to digest yet further bad news from Man Group, dealers reckon that embattled chief executive Peter Clarke will have to walk the plank.” [2]
