Good news from the banking sector on 08:14 - May 2 with 1059 views | NthQldITFC | With the 'godfather of AI' quitting Google and giving dire warnings about where AI is going unless 'bad actors' don't act bad (lol), it feels like we're headed for a great reset which is totally out of our control, just as the Earth's climate is about to run wildly out of control. Maybe there's hope in this from an environmental perspective or from a socio-economic perspective? Maybe not, but we're certainly going somewhere new aren't we? And all the bankers and puffed-up egotists worshipping at the altar of the god of Capital care about is piling up more meaningless, transient 'wealth'. |  |

Good news from the banking sector on 08:15 - May 2 with 1047 views | TractorWood | It's a fair value gain of $1.5bn so a paper mark up in valuation from the nominal consideration it paid. It's not derived from cash. It was widely expected and not even news for people who watch the markets. [Post edited 2 May 2023 8:16]

Yes if you have the infrastructure and risk appetite to take it on when it sits on the edge of total destruction. Their underlying results are stonking tbf too. |  |
