Davos Watch...

Re: Davos Watch...

Well Folks, we haven't done this for a while. Time to resurrect and update an old thread...if for no other reason than some badly needed comic relief.

We are a bit late getting started but let's begin with the Davos Theme for 2013.

"The big idea guiding this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland is "Resilient Dynamism."...

Resilient Dynamite-ism?

Reuters reports:

"Police confirmed on Friday that protestors carried out individual attacks on a Credit Suisse branch in [Zurich] and a postbox in the lakeside suburb of Rueschlikon in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Credit Suisse confirmed that a security window of its branch had been shattered. Police said the damage amounted to several thousand francs.

A spokesperson for Glencore confirmed that an incident took place on the property of CEO Ivan Glasenberg.

No-one was injured in either attack."

A unnamed organisation claimed responsibility for the attack, saying they had targeted Credit Suisse and Glasenberg due to their connections to the WEF.

No contest which to choose for a transformational change. Who knows what one might learn by osmosis. But I would probably avoid asking what she thinks about the circular economy...

I have some doubts either is gonna work as a successful pick up line. Especially at Davos, where the size of the wallet probably counts above all else.

Here's some helpful advice for us guys in these situations from another prominent Davos delegate :-)

As the World Economic Forum in Davos drew to a close, Axel Weber, Chairman of Swiss bank UBS told delegates at a CNBC-moderated debate on Saturday that significant challenges remained...

...Weber said said the mood had been good, maybe too good to be true..."I think some expectation management is in order."
