A few snippets

The FRC has issued its progress report on the Combined Code review which you can download here. There are some questions in there that go further than Walker, will post examples later.

That led me to a report on shareholder engagement here, which looks like it could be interesting.

Sir David Cooksey has been appointed as the new chair of UK Financial Investments. No I don't know who he is either.

Interesting Pesto piece on markets.

An attempt to use the Interweb to disintermediate investing. (Hat-tip: Paulie)

Interesting that Pesto is asking what else if not the free market. Has this guy not heard of democracy?

We choose MPs through the ballot box, not through the market - we each have one vote whatever our wealth. This is a principle that can be extended to other aspects of our lives - and is.
