How’s work now?
Dec 27th
I am now a former employee of Barclays. Barclays Global Investors that is. Why former? It’s because BGI has been acquired by my new employer, BlackRock. Almost two years with BGI has left me good memories and tremendous growth. Here’s hoping the same with BlackRock. The same enthusiasm and positive outlook is now channeled to our new team at BlackRock.
Anyways, after few days after the official execution of the “divorce”, I saw this advertisement from CNN.com. Funny, but this is now reality. The world “Global” was BGI’s punchline, at least in name and in internal culture usage. 
Financial Markets
Apr 5th
Drawing a bit farther from being technical and geeky, I am posting this rare post.
Today I bought a book about financial markets. I am really hell bent in learning the topic by heart. I’d like to learn about money markets, bonds, forex, stocks, futures, commodities market, energy market, and investments and securities in general. This would not just help me to be a bit more proactive in fiddling around my portfolio but also will give me a boost in learning my company’s business. Knowing what I didn’t know is the first step, addressing these is the next.
