Nicolai Tangen om unoterte aksjer i internt møte: – Jeg er ganske optimistisk (+) Oljefondssjefen har langt fra gitt opp å investere i private equity. Nå tror han politikerne i økende grad ser det samme som ham.

Veldig god tråd frå EU-forskar og EU-entusiast om kvifor det kan vere klokare å legge det nye militære samarbeidet i Europa utanfor EU. Trur særleg poenga om veto-dynamikker i EU, og det at vi treng få med UK (med sin militære- og etterretningskapasitet) er viktige.

The agency added that “reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports.”

There are now CTA cases pending in the Fourth, Fifth, Ninth & Eleventh Circuits—it’s looking more like it could end up at the Supreme Court. (3/3)
