Download or read book Barometer of Fear written by Alexis Stenfors and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The LIBOR affair has been described as the ‘biggest banking scandal in history’, a deception affecting not only banks but also corporations, pension funds and ordinary people. But was this just the tip of the iceberg? Was the scandal the work of a few ‘bad apples’ or an inevitable result of a financial system rotten to its core? Labelled ‘one of the world's most infamous rogue traders’ in the wake of a mis-marking scandal, Alexis Stenfors went on to rebuild his life and now guides us through the shadowy world of modern banking, providing an insider’s account of the secret practices – including the manipulation of foreign exchange rates – which have allowed banks to profit from systematic deception. Containing remarkable and often shocking insights derived from his own experiences in the dealing room, as well as his spectacular fall from grace at Merrill Lynch, Barometer of Fear draws back the curtain to a realm that for too long has remained hidden from public view.

It does so however near enough for ordinary practical purposes--provided that no sun, nor fire, nor lamp heat is allowed to act on the instrument partially. The mercury in the cistern and tube being affected by cold or heat, makes it advisable to consider this when endeavouring to foretell coming weather by the length of the column. * * * Briefly, the barometer shows weight or pressure of the air; the thermometer--heat and cold, or temperature; and the wet thermometer, compared with a dry one, the degree of moisture or dampness.[10] It should be remembered that the state of the air foretells, rather than shows present weather (an invaluable fact too often overlooked); that the longer the time between the signs and the change foretold by them, the longer such altered weather will last; and, on the contrary, the less the time between a warning and a change, the shorter will be the continuance of such foretold
