It is always hard to give any credence to articles that include typographic mistakes – or we could just call them typos. It is equally difficult to understand some of the structured products that are released into the market. But it is hardest of all to have any faith in an article containing coruscating assertions about structured products that has two typos in the headline.
The famed and hopefully much-loved Accountancy Ireland publication has helped us out on all counts, with a thought piece about Derivitives (sic) that asks whether the financial product that decorates this grotto of complexity is a Villian (even sicer).
We don’t ask for much, but we receive a lot when we make any mistake, and for good reason. The human condition will not allow us to accept mistakes in print – let’s leave the internet and its bulging blogosphere to one side for the sake of this argument. More than that, when you finally pluck up the courage to vent your spleen in print, then the golden rule of no typos is more important than ever.
What does Accountancy Ireland have to say about structured products? Definitely worth a look, the mistakes appear to have all been made in the headline!
