Rogue Trader 1999, A business/financial movie.

Tweet

In 1992, a twenty-seven-year-old trader in the Singapore office of Barings Bank, Nick Leeson, lost over $1 billion of the firm’s money through transactions in futures contracts. Initially, Leeson had made large profits for the bank by dealing in derivatives and futures. After experiencing losses, however, he used an error account to disguise his bad trades. Because Leeson was involved in the settlement of his own trades, he was able to sustain this scheme until he left the firm in 1995. As a result of Leeson’s losses, Barings eventually was declared bankrupt and sold to the ING Group.

The movie "Rogue Trader" is base on the book written by Nick Lesson, and is probably one of the best financial/business movie.

एकै छाता मुनी बिताएको त्यो बर्षात कहाँ होला? 

लड्न खोज्दा समाउने तिमो हात कहाँ होला?

चादनीको शितलतामा मुटु साटासाट गर्थ्यौ,

तारा गन्दै बसेका ति रात कहाँ होला ?

मेरा मीठा सपनाहरु पुरा गर्ने बाचा तिम्रो,
हासी हासी गरेका ति सम्बाद कहाँ होला ?

मनमा सजाएको थिए, तिम्रो बेहुली बन्नलाई,
मेरो बेहुला तिमी अनि बारात कहाँ होला ?

हर बखत हामी दुइ कल्पनामा डुबी बस्थ्यौ,
तिम्रो नामको सिन्दुर अनि सौगात कहाँ होला ?

The Rouge trader and Societe Generale

Tweet

Societe Generale was founded in 1864 by a group of industrialists, bankers, businessmen, and heads of railway companies, after an authorization decree was signed by Napoleon III. By 1870, it had around 47 branches in Paris and other provinces in France. In 1871, the bank‘s permanent office was set up in London and the bank went public. Between 1871 and 1893, several banking establishments in France failed after which Societe Generale‘s pace of growth slowed down. As of 1889, it had 149 branches. In 1894, Societe Generale began providing short-term credit to traders and industrialists and also issuing private debenture loans. The bank‘s activities expanded to Russia at that time.

By 1920, Societe Generale had emerged as a leading bank in France. In 1928, a subsidiary CALIF that specialized in medium-term credit was created. The 1930s and the early 1940s were a difficult period for the bank. The operations in France and Europe were adversely affected by World War II, due to which Societe Generale started scouting for opportunities in other countries and moved to the US and Africa.

In 1945, Societe Generale was nationalized. Between 1945 and 1958, France was experiencing economic recovery. It was also a period of radical changes in the banking industry and the industrial demand for credit was high. At that time, Societe Generale expanded into Italy and Mexico. During the 1960s, Societe Generale expanded rapidly in France and also internationally. With the changes in the banking sector like the decreasing difference between traditional and investment banking, advent of the home mortgage market, leasing, etc, Societe Generale launched services like leasing and opened new subsidiaries especially for credit.

The world's best passenger complaint letter?

Here we reproduce a complaint letter sent to Sir Richard Branson, which is currently being emailed globally and is considered by many to be the world's funniest passenger complaint letter.


Dear Mr Branson
REF: Mumbai to Heathrow 7th December 2008
I love the Virgin brand, I really do which is why I continue to use it despite a series of unfortunate incidents over the last few years. This latest incident takes the biscuit.
Ironically, by the end of the flight I would have gladly paid over a thousand rupees for a single biscuit following the culinary journey of hell I was subjected to at thehands of your corporation.
