four of the large investment banks have down analysis of the wolrd cup and 3 of them have us in the semis, JP Morgan calling it a win for England.

I am seeing two sides to this world cup already rich and poor. We have the multi million pound players, executives and big business all making big money, then we have the poor people who cant even afford to eat, from what I have seen i.e reports and tv programmes.
I hope for the sake of South Africa the money generated from this World Cup goes to regeneration and not in to the pockets of greedy individuals. Is that a fair thing to say?
At the moment there is too much hype, and to me it does not feel right.

Aren't they the company which failed to predict the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market in America leading to the biggest banking collapse for 70 years ? oh, and wasn't banking and financial services their main business ?

I honestly think, and this is my 7th campaign, that this time, more than any other time (see what I did there?) there's not been enough hype.
So come on England, we're going to stuff 'em, Germany and Australia included with those cheating Argie bastards getting it big time in the final - we won't just have sunk the Belgrano after that!!!
(Opps, that's probably screwed us)

did they fail to predict it? the whole point of CDS was to profit from defaults, Lehman's was the one that really carried the shitcan and JP Morgan came out rather well.

Oh dear, maybe you are right, I'm not that good on securities and bond markets and all that stuff. The point I was trying to nudge towards was that maybe a big financial institution may not be the best placed to predict football results.
oh, but as a P.S. I'm not so sure JP Morgan have come out of things rather well, here is a headline from The Financial Times
"The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has stepped up its focus on client asset security by fining JP Morgan Securities a record £33.32m for failing to protect client money."
oops ! too much time spent looking at The Sun's World Cup wallchart ?
But that situation existed in South Africa long long before this event, just because the press has bought it to your attention all of a sudden you are not sure about enjoying it? Why were you not worried before about the greedy people of South Africa?
The money from this tournament will not really help regeneration in SA - regeneration is about time and social change and economic restructuring. But you should really be supporting their event and hoping that nothing happens to spoil the tourism that this can generate for them.
Are you a glass is half empty kind?

Do you live your life by those rules? If so then you might as well just top yourself now.
