The data backs him up. Trade growth will drop to its slowest pace since the=
 financial crisis this year, according to the World Trade Organization, and=
 there are five times as many protectionist measures in 2016 than there wer=
e seven years ago. Deutsche Bank strategists are forecasting a rise in glob=
al tariffs while both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trumpoppose the Trans-Paci=
fic Partnership trade agreement.
The US S&P 500 index is currently near all-time highs, but investors have b=
een dering how much longer the good times can last. Ed Keon, a money manage=
r at QMA (owned by Prudential Financial), told Quartz that most asset class=
es are expensive relative to historical levels and he doesn't see many "poc=
kets of value."
The United States is not even the most vulnerable to slog globalisation: Ab=
out 30 of S&P 500 revenue comes from overseas, compared with more than thre=
e-quarters of the revenue from Germany's DAX and the UK's FTSE 100.
For Keon, this means the US could be a relatively better investment than th=
e rest of the world as global trade rolls backwards. "If global trade was a=
bolished it would be problematic in the United States but it'd be disastrou=
s in Germany," he said.

A STORMY KNIGHT
** The UK parliament voted to strip aire Topshop owner Sir Philip Green of =
his knighthood
------------------------------------------------------------
The perks of power. (Reuters/ Kevin Coombs)
WRITTEN BY
Oliver Staley@Ostaley39 mins ago
Being a knight isn't what it used to be.
In the Middle Ages, being knighted meant joining an elite society of chival=
rous warriors. Now, it means keeping company with Rod Stewartand a of mostl=
y anonymous business people.
Still, once the honor is given, few are eager to give it up, so it was nota=
ble that the House of Commons voted unanimously today (Oct. 20) to strip a =
knighthood from Sir Phillip Green, the aire owner of Topshop and the Arcadi=
a retail empire.
Green is in trouble over the collapse of the BHS department store chain, wh=
ich he bought in 2000 and sold last year for essentially nothing. The chain=
 went out of business in April, putting 11,000 people out of work and leavi=
ng an unfunded pension deficit of 571 pounds (698 ).
Members of parliament has demanded that Green use his personal fortune to c=
over his former employees' pensions; his refusal prompted scrutiny of his k=
nighthood.
Noting that Green was knighted in 2006 for services to retail, MP Frank Fie=
ld said he could find no evidence Green deserved the honor. "He was a very,=
 very, successful asset stripper," Field said, according to the Guardian. M=
P David nick called Green "a aire spiv who has shamed British capitalism."
The vote was only advisory, as a special committee made up of civil servant=
s has the power to revoke knighthoods, with the final authority resting wit=
h Queen Elizabeth. The BBC reported that the vote "will significantly incre=
ase the pressure" on the committee to take action.
Green wouldn't be the first businessman to lose the honor. Fred God, the fo=
rmer CEO of the Royal Bank of Scotland, which collapsed and was nationalize=
d in the financial crisis, and Owen Phillipps, a shipping mogul jailed for =
fraud in the 1930s, previously lost knighthoods.
Knighting executives brings with it the risk they'll later be revealed as c=
rooks or scoundrels. But it also allows for the symbolic ritual of strippin=
g them of their honors.
When Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf retired last week, he was given ahearty se=
nd off from the board, which was eager to pretend nothing was amiss. Think =
how much more satisfying it would have been for Stumpf to lose a knighthood=
 instead.
BANKING IS BACK
** Wall Street's biggest investment banks say they just can't help making s=
o much money
------------------------------------------------------------
Back in business. (AP/Mark Lennihan)
WRITTEN BY
Eshe Nelson@eshelouise1 hour ago
Investment banking is back! After a rocky few years, to say the least, majo=
r Wall Street banks are once again making huge amounts of money from bond t=
rading, a traditional cash cow. In the third quarter, revenue from trading =
in fixed-income securities and similar products was up at least 30 year-ove=
r-year at each of the biggest US investment banks. JPMorgan, for example, r=
ecorded a 48 increase in bond-trading revenue, to 4.3 , in the quarter.
But you 't see the banks celebrating this too much. Instead, bank bosses ha=
ve taken a self-deprecating tone when discussing their buoyant bond-trading=
 businesses. Mostly, they say the recent jump was flattered by comparisons =
with weak results in the same period last year.
Here is how some of bank execs explained why they just couldn't help making=
 so much money:
Harvey Mitchell Schwartz, CFO of Goldman Sachs
"I would say maybe the best way to describe it, it wasn't so much about tai=
lds as it was about not having so many headds in the quarter. And of course=
, it translated nicely for us."
Marianne Lake, CFO of JPMorgan
"When you think about the year-over-year comparison, we are a little flatte=
red by last year's performance, not necessarily more so than our peers, but=
 nevertheless we are."
James Gorman, CEO of Morgan Stanley

         <p>Investment banking is back! After a rocky few years, to say the=
 least, major Wall Street banks are once again making huge amounts of money=
 from bond trading, a traditional cash cow. In the third quarter, revenue f=
rom trading in fixed-income securities and similar products was up at least=
 30 year-over-year at each of the biggest US investment banks. JPMorgan, fo=
r example, recorded a  48 increase in bond-trading revenue, to 4.3 , i=
n the quarter.</p>
         <p>But you ' t see the banks celebrating this too much. Instead, b=
ank bosses have taken a self-deprecating tone when discussing their buoyant=
 bond-trading businesses. Mostly, they say the recent jump was flattered by=
 comparisons with weak results in the same period last year.</p>

         <p>Here is how some of bank execs explained why they just couldn' =

         <p>Harvey Mitchell Schwartz, CFO of Goldman Sachs</p>
         <blockquote>
          <p>" I would say maybe the best way to describe it, it wasn'=
 t so much about tailds as it was about not having so many headds in the qu=
arter. And of course, it translated nicely for us." </p>
         </blockquote>
         <p>Marianne Lake, CFO of JPMorgan</p>
         <blockquote>
          <p>" When you think about the year-over-year comparison, we =
are a little flattered by last year' s performance, not necessarily more so=
 than our peers, but nevertheless we are." </p>
