Historians have ranked U.S. presidents on leadership, economic management, and pursuing justice, but they have never asked themselves which one could beat up all the others. This show will change that. Hosted by two history professors—James Early and Scott Rank—this is an NCAA-style tournament in which all presidents fight each other one-on-one until there is one champion. You'll see Barack Obama fight William Howard Taft (who literally weights twice as much), Abraham Lincoln try to knock th ...

With the summer holidays of the Another Fine Mezz team well and truly over, it was back to normal this week. Similarly, the European securitization market has eased into October with deal flow slowing to a much more manageable pace.

“What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet," wrote William Shakespeare in his play, Romeo and Juliet.

This week on Another Fine Mezz, the carnage well and truly began in European ABS with 11 deals in the market. European ABS reporter George Smith and host Tom Lemmon barely came up for air last week.

In this week's episode of Another Fine Mezz, host Tom Lemmon was standing in once again for the travelling George Smith, and while he expected a quiet mid-August week, the European ABS market had other ideas.

This week on Another Fine Mezz was dominated by host Tom Lemmon's love of talking about a regulatory revolution in European securitization. The European ABS market was quiet once again, but that gave time to dissect a research paper by Risk Control and authored by a who's who of securitization's regulatory big beasts. There are number of transforma…

After a manic Monday on which some ABS bankers wondered whether we would even have a market by the end of the week, the Another Fine Mezz team is happy to report that we do.

On this week's Another Fine Mezz, usual host Tom Lemmon was taking a well-earned break to play golf, but it seems his enthusiasm for the sport has spread to European ABS reporter, George Smith.
