Sheet NewsWhy is there no investigation into dodgy phone-ins?Whether it’s The Bill or Ashes to Ashes, police work, as seen on the telly, looks terribly exciting. There’s lots of running about, for a start, and in general terms the police seem pretty busy trying to catch criminals, of which there appear to be, in any given week, hundreds, thousands if you include Eighties daytime reruns and late night movies. It’s tiring just watching this stuff, so perhaps it is time for a slower-moving cop show, Snooze Squad, a brand new series in which a group of fraud investigators spend a lot of time looking at very complicated spreadsheets before going down the pub to do not very much. Tough work, but the graphics would be amazing.Read Full Article B&B raises £300m of emergency fundingBradford & Bingley this morning raised £300 million in an emergency rights issue to shore up the mortgage bank’s balance sheet.Read Full Article Credit Agricole targets €11bn as profits slumpCrédit Agricole, the French bank, has reshuffled its top management to replace the head of its investment banking arm, Calyon, and joined the list of banks tapping shareholders for fresh funds to repair balance sheets ravaged by the credit crunch.Read Full Article Tempus: Open planBarclays is wise, given the vascillating that has embarrassed its rivals, to refuse to rule out some kind of capital raising. The bank this morning admitted that its core equity Tier 1 capital ratio, which was already below the bank’s 5.25 per cent target at December, would fall even further, possibly to as low as 4.9 per cent according to analysts, by the half-year. Finance director Chris Lucas says that Barclays is "prepared to run ahead of targets or below, depending on circumstances". But with financial regulators pushing banks to beef up their capital buffer, and Barclays’ competitors’ aiming for targets of 6 per cent at the very least, the bank is going to look increasingly out of step. Questions about its balance sheet are likely to to continue to drag the stock. A further downturn in the financial markets could worsen the problem. It was tricky to tell how parts of the bank are faring. Barclays Capital has been profitable in the year to date despite the turmoil. But, although it wrote back up £500 million worth of its own debt, Barclays did not mention similar improvements in its credit investments. It has also been sparing in writing down its leveraged finance exposure. There is much that could still turn sour for banks this year. No wonder Barclays wants to leave all its options open.Read Full Article Market for offloading bad debt balloons as banks free up capitalBritish banks will sell £9 billion of bad consumer debt to debt collectors this year in an effort to free up capital on their balance sheets.Read Full Article External News for: sheetSource: RB Mike Bell signs offer sheet with Philadelphia Eagles - ESPNphillyBurbs.comSource: RB Mike Bell signs offer sheet with Philadelphia EaglesESPNFor the first time this offseason, a restricted free agent has reached agreement on an offer sheet with another team. ...Bell signs offer sheet with EaglesSeattle Post IntelligencerEagles sign Mike Bell to $1.7M offer sheetmsnbc.comSaints could lose Mike Bell to Eagles' offer sheetDenver PostNOLA.com -Fantasy Football Toolbox -Comcast SportsNet Philadelphiaall 229 news articles »Source: RB Mike Bell signs offer sheet with Philadelphia Eagles - ESPNphillyBurbs.comSource: RB Mike Bell signs offer sheet with Philadelphia EaglesESPNFor the first time this offseason, a restricted free agent has reached agreement on an offer sheet with another team. ...Bell signs offer sheet with EaglesSeattle Post IntelligencerEagles sign Mike Bell to $1.7M offer sheetmsnbc.comSaints could lose Mike Bell to Eagles' offer sheetDenver PostNOLA.com -Fantasy Football Toolbox -Comcast SportsNet Philadelphiaall 229 news articles »Fed's balance sheet hits record high - ReutersFed's balance sheet hits record highReutersNEW YORK, March 18 (Reuters) - The US Federal Reserve's balance sheet rose to a record high in the latest week, Fed data released on Thursday showed, ...Fed's Balance Sheet Continues To Grow In Latest WeekNASDAQ10 Days Left in Fed's MBS Purchase Program.
