Unfortunately most of these blogs are either so generic to be useless or so specific to be limited to a very targeted audience. InsideBanking.net is focused strictly on commercial lenders, but I think it is a great blog. Of course I write it. http://www.insidebanking.net/blog.html" InsideBanking.net

[...] Why I Enjoy Reading Investment Banking Blogs My latest favorite reads are a line-up of cynical, sadistic, pompous blogs written by investment bankers.

I agree with lissy that investment Banking can become boring sometimes. I am related to this field (although not exactly related to investment banking). But surely when the numbers and the old jumbo talks about the figures comes up …I start getting bored. But there are some people who always talk about this thing in a very excited way….may be just because they have interest in this field or they just know this field.

I realize it….
My thought is “An investment bank is a financial institution that assists individuals, corporations and governments in raising capital by underwriting and/or acting as the client’s agent in the issuance of securities. An investment bank may also assist companies involved in mergers and acquisitions, and provides ancillary services such as market making, trading of derivatives, fixed income instruments, foreign exchange, commodities, and equity securities”

@Victoria: I used to read PerezHilton and TheSuperficial all the time when I was still in university. I needed something to detox my brain from all the politics and the philosophy! Now that I’m working, lolcats and cuteoverload usually do the trick. And when I’m feeling miserable the ibankers blogs never fail to bring me sadistic happiness! Thanks for the recommendation on Julia Allison. I’ve heard of her but never really bothered to go through her blog. Very interesting characte!

@Brenda: Haha a lot of the iBanking blogs poke fun at themselves and that’s why it’s funny. I’m not particularly interested in the theories and stuff either since I don’t quite have an affinity for numbers.

@Dayna: I read about skincare and makeup from forums usually, since I like to see diverse reactions to one product. My usual haunts are MakeUpAlley.com and CozyCot.

Investment blogs aren’t actually about how to invest but rather the pathetically extravagant lifestyles of the investment bankers. Should give it a shot. I recommend Stuff Investment Bankers Like. It’s so funny! Although, he seemed to have stop writing after the sub-prime mortgage crisis hit. I wonder if he got laid off or something… coz that would be a shame.

Sorry for the late reply all! Been mighty busy the past few weeks!

@Lissy: Wow! That definitely sounds like an enviable job!!! I work 9 – 6.30 usually. But past 7pm is not uncommon either.

@Walter: Whoa, a long weekend every week!! Singapore seriously could learn a thing or two from Belgium! (Yes, I’m seething in jealousy because I have to work next weekend. Argh!)

@Belinda: Hello fellow Sagi!! Thanks for stopping by! Leaving a stable job for adventure in Argentina is a very Sagi thing to do too. I’ve been contemplating about do the same somewhere in the future but for now I’m still quite happy with my job. It’s a shame you have to come back but I guess you can still try to find some adventure in Singapore. (As you can see, I try to keep obstinately optimistic about my predicaments. Another Sagi thing to do )
