Chums over at FT Alphaville have carried out an interesting dissection of Bloomberg's second Standard Chartered takeover tale.
I have pasted the link below to article, which was written by Bryce "The Flying Scotsman" Elder, now City Editor of FT Alphaville:

The cat is finally out of the bag. Or rather Izzy has finally left FT Alphaville.
Yes, that's Izabella Kaminska, who has launched her new site - The Blind Spot. Below is a link to it:

It all looks very interesting and exciting.....
Lord Rothermere's announcement about the departure of Geordie Greig as editor of the Daily Mail wasn't the only big media industry news story announced yesterday.
The super talented Izabella Kaminska, the editor of FT Alphaville, announced on Twitter her formal departure from the venerable Financial Times, thereby confirming a tale on, er, little Betaville from a couple of weeks ago. Below is the link if you don't recall:..
There is talk in the market Izabella Kaminska, the editor of FT Alphaville (no relation to little old Betaville) is leaving the top quality Financial Times markets blog.
One might describe that titbit as WELL-DONE in Betaville parlance but do remember things can change at the last minute...
Solutions 30's stock has now been suspended!
Jamie Powell over rival site FT Alphaville has rather good summary of the lead up to the suspension, so do give it a read when you have a moment. I have pasted a link to his piece below:

US-based Woodward has finally released a statement regarding the Wall Street Journal's "scoop" (Betaville seems to remember reading a very similar story on FT Alphaville the day before the venerable American paper published) about Boeing being in takeover talks to buy the aircraft parts maker. I have pasted the Woodward statement below:..
Two days on and the upper echelons of the financial media world are still picking over the carcass of the failed Kraft Heinz / 3G / Warren Buffett / Unilever deal.
Probably the best newspaper piece out there is the "tick tock" by Arash Massoudi and James Fontanella-Kahn in today's Financial Times. Here is the link in case you haven't read it:..
There has been quite a bit of noise around Swedish rare disease specialist SOBI over the last couple of days.
Well, I wouldn't get too carried away. I'm told there is supposed to be an important meeting in the next 24 / 48 hours where a decision will be made on the "situation".
In case you don't recall what the situation is, here are links to FT Alphaville's piece and my follow up article...
