I worked in Treasury for twelve years, knew a number of the Access people, and so have a bias in favour.<BR/><BR/>Your point about responsibility drives to the heart of my concern. I think that Access put the promotion of the company name in front of their professional responsibilities. <BR/><BR/>This may come off as a marketing tool if the economy goes to hell in a hand basket or even if it just limps along. Somewhere between the two is most likely. But to my mind they have not helped either their clients or Australia.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-59192689145817489352009-01-20T13:17:00.000+11:002009-01-20T13:17:00.000+11:00Now they are telling us; after the horse has bolte...Now they are telling us; after the horse has bolted. Where were they when the crisis developed? Did they warn the banks, Centro, or ABC Learning not to invest in the US? Did they warn superannuation funds to quietly retreat from hedge funds? <BR/>They claim to be Australia's No.1 forecaster, but with that should come responsibility. Why are the media giving this private company, who has lost all credibility, so much room?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
