2025 Finishing the week fresh as a daisy here after a rare Thursday night watching my daughters play netball rather than being Out Out (Double Out for the real geezers) with clients. That’s most definitely the calm before the storm as a look at the diary suggests a gentle 21 lunches or dinners with clients […]
2025 So you’ll be glad to know that our gleamingly shiny Best Trading Performance Trophy has made it into the office. Our head of trading Phil “The Bizzley” Risley presumably having had some sort of Steven Gerrard type action with it for the last few days but it’s now on display. That said, we’ll not […]
2025 So the UK-US travel corridor confirmed as being open by the stampede of Redburn New Yorkers arriving into the office today. Finer dentistry you will not see. A flurry of white teeth and big hair and unbridled enthusiasm and you can’t help but be swept along by the positivity despite a properly boring start […]
2025 On the off-chance you hear some fireworks in London this evening it’s very possibly people celebrating Redburn winning BEST TRADING PERFORMANCE at the Leaders in Trading awards ceremony last night. An incredible achievement given the behemoths that we were up against and a credit to the entire team here. I don’t often talk of […]
2025 So there it is then – the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Weeks of anticipation and finally it’s here. Yes the John Lewis advert is out and Christmas planning can officially begin. If you’ve already seen it no spoilers please. Very much a Quick family tradition to watch together albeit they definitely peaked […]

Another day of limping reluctantly higher (Stoxx 600 +0.35%) and the only excitement here was Courteney celebrating his 30th birthday with some extra spring rolls to go with his City Caphe special. […]
2025 So that’s half term done and the real work starts here. Nine weeks to go to maintain performance in a market where – despite the All Time Highs – performance is anything but a given. A cursory glance at the last few days shows a month end squeeze becoming the start of a seasonally […]
2025 Thanksgiving a bigger deal in the Quick house than most UK families with an American wife very keen on her pumpkin pie and creamed spinach casserole. Family getting together and eating too much – it’s essentially Christmas without the presents isn’t it. There is a chance that we should all embrace the concept. Firstly […]
2025 Come on Sajid – let’s keep things niiiice and calm. No need to panic. The UK Health Secretary due to speak shortly to give us a Covid update. Let’s hope it is to tell us what our pharma team published this morning – namely that yes cases are moving higher (let’s not use the […]
2025 So if there’s been a positive to the last 18 months or so it’s the amount of times that equities have actually reflected what is going on in the real world. So often there’s a dislocation between the world outside and the stock market but when one of our best analysts (and the competition […]
