The cost of his gesture is also insignificant 1

When it ran a poor slope, it is difficult to reverse the trend. Disaster because of his commitments disproportionate in high-risk activities, Dexia drawn drag. Despite its recapitalisation by the Belgian and French States and the sale of its us burden FSA, the specialist of the financing of community sentence always keep head above water in a banking world in need of cash. By outlining a rapprochement with the Banque Postale French, Franco-Belgian group could find a welcome lifesaver. The subsidiary of the Habs post indeed enjoys abundant liquidity and a vocation to become a large retail bank in France in the image of the Belgian branches of Dexia. The whole would therefore be highly complementary. The Caisse des Dépôts, large unfortunate shareholder of Dexia, with 17.6 of the capital and a huge valuation, could find a nice batch of consolation with the Postal Bank. The Assembly would also be very complementary to CNP Assurances that the CDC is the shareholder of reference to the side of the post and Caisses d'Epargne désargentées who have too much to do with Natixis to still have big ambitions in this area.

Christmas logs

There are still more unfortunate than themselves. The feeling is not very Christian, especially Christmas. The leaders of an Alcatel down 70 a year may yet find some comfort by comparing to Nortel, their Canadian colleague. The OEM is threatened to be expelled from the New York Stock Exchange, its action which rated less than 1 dollar more than 30 days in a row. Even if one of them succeeds, three offers of redemption to $ 1 billion he would have received for its subsidiary Ethernet will certainly not prevent its breakup. After the explosion of the Internet bubble, four years of handling accounts and a difficult market led bankrupt a group including the Royal Bank of Canada set a month ago the objective of course zero. With a capitalization of EUR 98 million, 98 a year, the Canadian should not get away by the mere assignment of one of its divisions, so in 2011 it will have to pay $ 1 billion, nearly a quarter of its debt. Move up a gear mean consider the sale of all of the company. And perhaps finally open the door of the US market to Chinese Huawei always in ambush. In which case the reasons for Alcatel to celebrate would have been short-lived.

Gesture interested

Some Christmas gifts benefit more than offering to those who receive. By settling amicably in a single stroke 80 of the judicial proceedings against him for years by thousands of its employees, Wal-Mart prepares all future political battles he gives satisfaction to the complainants. The cost of his gesture is also insignificant (1.7 of the net result of 2008 and less than twelve days of operating profit) that it is interested. The future tenant of the White House has not hidden his sympathy for a law which would facilitate the establishment of trade unions in companies, which categorically rejected Wal-Mart where social relations are deemed indeed be as low as prices. But this is not because Arkansas, his State of origin, did not vote for Barack Obama that the distributor of Bentonville can afford him turn back. Past table EBP time where change of Director-General met the group in a better position to cross the railway with the new administration. Wall Street gives winner ahead, keeping his confidence to a title which is only progression of the Dow Jones index this year with McDonald's, and the highest ( 16.5) of the main 500 values us.
