SHAM: Why I’m thinking big, stale biscuits and tickle sticks

Putting an end to any speculation, I’d like to officially rule myself out of the running as the new head of the FCA.

SHAM: Why I’m thinking big, stale biscuits and tickle sticks

|

What about the fund managers? Well, most of you do a decent job, I guess.

A small thing; perhaps we could lose that plate of stale biscuits you keep putting in front of me in our meetings. It’s not that I don’t like biscuits; on the contrary I could murder a McVitie’s, but we both know it’s not going to happen.

Rules are rules and it’s far too uncouth to start gobbling a garibaldi while you’re enlightening me on your gilts exposure. Out of politeness, those biscuits have been sitting there for at least a decade. No, I’ll just make do with a sparkling water and a Dulce Gusto, thanks.

Anyway, I digress. After last month’s splurge SHAM has decided to sit tight for now. If anything, I’ll start topping up the funds I already have rather than bring in new names.

You see, now is not a time for ego; I’ll keep my head down and hope for the best, like every other money manager.

No harm in thinking big every now and then though, right?
