I have written a column for the Weekend FT on the crackdown on short-selling on both sides of the Atlantic. I can see the point of trying to curb bear raids on fragile financial institutions but short-sellers generally provide a useful service. You can read it here and comment below.
I am the FT's chief business commentator and this blog is about business, finance, media, technology and related matters. I live in New York so there is a bias towards US topics but I range more widely. Comments and criticism, which hopefully are at least as interesting as anything I write, are welcome. There is more about me on my columnist page
