Spread... Spread... ma che cazzo é??????? :(
In finanza, il termine spread può essere usato con diversi significati:
Il differenziale denaro-lettera (bid-ask spread), o differenziale denaro-lettera, è la differenza tra il prezzo più basso a cui un venditore è disposto a vendere un titolo (ask) e il prezzo più alto che un compratore è disposto ad offrire per quel titolo (bid), ed è spesso usato come misura della liquidità del mercato;
Il credit spread denota il differenziale tra il tasso di rendimento di un'obbligazione caratterizzata da rischio di default (ad es., un titolo di stato a breve termine, quale in Italia il BOT) e quello di un titolo privo o a bassissimo rischio preso a riferimento. Ad esempio se un BTP con una certa scadenza ha un rendimento del 7% ed il corrispettivo Bund Tedesco con la stessa scadenza ha un rendimento del 3% allora lo spread sarà di 7-3 = 4 punti percentuali ovvero di 400 punti base. Il rendimento atteso o richiesto (ed alla fine offerto) può infatti salire o scendere in funzione del grado di fiducia degli investitori/creditori a sua volta misurabile attraverso eventuali squilibri tra domanda e offerta di titoli: se l'offerta è superiore alla domanda il rendimento atteso aumenta per tentare di riequilibrare la domanda e viceversa. Come conseguenza lo spread diventa dunque indirettamente e allo stesso tempo:
una misura del rischio finanziario associato all'investimento nei titoli cioè nel recupero del credito da parte del creditore essendo rischio e rendimento strettamente legati da relazione di proporzionalità: maggiore è lo spread maggiore è il rischio connesso all'acquisto di titoli;
al rovescio una misura dell'affidabilità (rating) dell'emittente/debitore (ad esempio lo Stato) di restituire il credito: maggiore è lo spread minore è tale affidabilità;
in ultimo una misura della capacità dell'emittente di promuovere a buon fine le proprie attività finanziarie (nel caso dello Stato di rifinanziare il proprio debito pubblico) tramite emissione di nuovi titoli: maggiore è lo spread minore è questa capacità in virtù dei tassi di interesse più elevati dovuti fino ad un limite massimo di sostenibilità. Nel caso dei titoli di stato, spread elevatissimi possono condurre nel medio-lungo termine alla dichiarazione di insolvenza o fallimento o bancarotta dello Stato oppure a misure drastiche di riduzione della spesa pubblica e/o aumento della tassazione sui contribuenti per evitare il fallimento con i consueti effetti di diminuzione del reddito (dunque della domanda) e degli investimenti e quindi in ultimo ripercussioni anche sulla crescita economica.
Uno spread è inoltre un'operazione finanziaria che combina diverse attività finanziarie, tipicamente titoli derivati, al fine di ottenere un determinato valore a una data scadenza.
Lo spread (in inglese: diffusione) è quello applicato (spesso in misura percentuale) dagli istituti di credito alle operazioni di prestito fiduciario ipotecario: lo spread viene aggiunto al costo del denaro e la somma dei due dà il tasso nominale.

In the Great War
1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment (28th Foot)
3rd Brigade, 1st Division, 1st Corps
--------------------------------------------------------
12 Aug 14: Left Southampton for Le Havre
15 Aug: Entrained ('hommes 30-40, chevaux 8') and left Le Havre around midday --> Rouen -->Amiens --> St. Quentin --> Wassigny --> Le Nouvion reached early in the morning of 16 Aug.
Marched to 3rd Brigade's concentration area around Leschelles (Le Tilleul & Dohis)
20 Aug: Marched at the head of the 3rd Brigade column to Beaurepaire, just over 8 miles away.
21 Aug: Brigade marched to the area of Avesnes & Landrecies with officers billeted in inns and houses at Doulers, while the men found shelter in local outbuildings.
The march continued the next morning via Maubeuge.
-------------------------
The 3rd Brigade marched off in the following order:
Brigade H.Q.
2/Welsh Regiment (less 1 company and machine section detached to the vanguard)
1/Glosters
26th Field Company, R.E.
1/South Wales Borderers
1/Queen’s Royal West Surreys
Brigade reserve of 2 small arms ammunition carts, brigaded cookers and water carts
43rd Brigade, RFA
The supply and baggage wagons travelled well to the rear with the Divisional Train
Each battalion comprised a Battalion HQ and 4 companies, that would be 30 officers and 977 men when at full complement. So that would mean that well over 4,000 men would have been marching along the road that morning.
-------------------------
On Sunday 23rd August, the B.E.F. were in position at Mons, holding a line of about 20 miles on the left of the French. During that morning, the Germans attacked with 5 corps and 3 cavalry divisions, outnumbering the British by more than 2 to 1.
By the evening, it had become apparent after the French had been forced to retreat, and that the B.E.F. were in danger of being surrounded and so an immediate retreat was ordered.
1st Corps, (who had been on the east of the British line), retired to the east of Bavai --> Landrecies --> Venerolles --> La Fère --> Villars --> Loterets. There were no serious incidents during this withdrawal, except on the night 25th/26th, when the Guards (1st Guards Brigade) suffered heavy losses while fighting off an advance by German forces through the Fôret de Mormal.
2nd Corps took a route to the west of Bavai --> Le Quesnoy --> Le Cateau --> St Quentin --> Ham --> Noyon --> Compiègne. On 26th August, against orders, 2nd Corps turned and stood to fight the enemy at Le Cateau.
3rd Corps was formed on 30th August, from the 4th Division and the 19th Infantry Brigade
On 1st September, the three corps reunited, crossed the Marne, and fell back to the Seine.
"The roads, as usual, were crowded with artillery, ambulance wagons, transport columns and infantry, and blocks were frequent ..."
The Retreat continued until the 5th September. for 13 days, the Gloucesters had marched 200 miles from Mons (and that had followed a 44 miles approach march over the previous 3 days.)

"The German attack began punctually at 5.30am ... A thick mist, which prevented anyone seeing more than a few yards ahead, enabled the enemy to draw close to the British line unperceived ...
An hour an a half after the storm had broken ... Lieut-Colonel L. received a verbal message from Brigade Headquarters to advance his Battalion from north of Veldhoek village due east on Gheluvelt and counter-attack the enemy." EW

"With the German trenches only two to three hundred yards away, and a bright moon until 2a.m. on the 31st, sniping and desultory shelling did not cease.
Very early on the morning of the 31st, the British line was subjected to a very heavy bombardment. The church at Gheluvelt, houses of the village and the windmill were reduced to a mass of ruins." EW

"On the 1st November the enemy's pressure was chiefly at Messines and Wytschaete, though a portion of the 1st Brigade was again temporarily driven from its trenches, the position being restored by an immediate counter-attack. The 3rd Brigade now complete again with the Gloucesters in the line, came in for heavy shell-fire and several infantry attacks."
"... casualties had been heavy - 76, of which C Company lost the most. The Battalion was now terribly weak and could only muster between 200 and 300 all ranks. A draft of 50, which joined during the evening, only slightly increased its strength
... the Brigade, numbering now about 800 old told ..." EW

'A' Company, 1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regt.
" ... at about 1pm, the 3rd Brigade received orders to advance and retake some trenches which had been lost earlier in the morning. The Brigade then moved off to counter-attack towards Gheluvelt. Shelled by 'coal-boxes' the Gloucesters pushed forward and crossed to the north of the Menin Road, near 'Clapham Junction'. In the direction of Veldhoek rifle fire was spluttering out accompanied by the 'rat-a-tat'-tat' from a machine-gun mounted in a Belgian armoured car travelling up and down the Menin Road just short of the village."

"The 'Old Braggs' were sorely tried that day. Their advance had been hurried, without definite orders. Officers and men alike were exhausted and could do no more than clear a few of the houses.
At roll-call that evening only 213 men answered their names, the strength by Companies being A - 61, B-44, C - 49, D - 59 ... There were no sergeants left, so deserving men amongst the 'other ranks' were promoted direct." EW

Tintin is a fictional character in The Adventures of Tintin, the series of classic Belgian comic books written and illustrated by Hergé. Tintin is the protagonist of the series, a reporter and adventurer who travels around the world with his dog Snowy.
Tintin debuted in Le Petit Vingtième on 10 January 1929. Tintin was largely based on an earlier character created by Hergé, a chubby boy-scout named Totor. The comics starring Totor, Les aventures de Totor, chef de patrouille des Hannetons (The Adventures of Totor, Leader of the Cockchafer Patrol), appeared in the magazine Le Boy-Scout Belge between 1926 and 1929.
In the later comic book series, Tintin is a young reporter who is drawn to dangerous international intrigues in which his quick thinking, bravery and chronic good luck save the day. Almost every adventure features Tintin sent off to investigate an assignment, but rarely does he actually turn in a story without first getting caught up in an adventure.[1] Although the strip was Belgian, Hergé was inconsistent or vague about assigning Tintin a nationality, depicting him instead as broadly European. In some of the early books, like Tintin in the Congo or The Black Island, a Belgian identity is fairly explicit. In The Secret of the Unicorn, the reader can unmistakably recognise the streets of Brussels at the beginning of the story. In the television series, Tintin states that he and Snowy are from Brussels in the episode of The Crab with the Golden Claws. Brussels is also explicitly mentioned as Tintin's home address in Tintin in the Land of the Soviets. In later adventures, as with other aspects of his character's history and family, Tintin's nationality is usually not directly stated, although some of the street scenes in The Red Sea Sharks have been identified as happening in Brussels.
Readers and critics have described Tintin as a well-rounded, yet open-ended character, noting that his rather neutral personality—sometimes labelled as bland—permits a balanced reflection of the evil, folly and foolhardiness which surrounds him. His boy-scout ideals, which represent Hergé's own, are never compromised by the character, and his status allows the reader to assume his position within the story, rather than merely following the adventures of a strong protagonist.Tintin's iconic representation enhances this aspect, with Scott McCloud noting that it "allows readers to mask themselves in a character and safely enter a sensually stimulating world."
Tintin is an intelligent and imaginative character with good powers of deduction. However, while in deep thought, he tends to be absent-minded and fails to notice things around him. He seems to know multiple foreign languages and reads extensively on a variety of subjects. He is skilled at driving automobiles (including a tank), riding horses or motorcycles, and flying aeroplanes and helicopters. Despite his generally delicate and unassuming appearance, Tintin is quite athletic and possesses great physical strength, often getting into fights where he is able to knock out enemies much larger than himself with a single blow. Although he is small as opposed to the other characters, he is an excellent swimmer, has been shown to be a skilled mountaineer, has been shown to do yoga,[4] and can survive falls that would normally cause serious injuries.
Tintin's age is never accurately revealed. Other characters treat him as a worldly young adult, as shown by the absence of concerns like parents or school, as well as by his wide solo travels all over the globe. He's old enough to enter a pub and drink a beer (The Black Island) and old enough to live alone with his dog in his own apartment. However, he is still referred to as a "young boy", and a "puppy" in The Crab with the Golden Claws. A 1979 television interview with Hergé settled the matter, when Hergé stated that when he first thought about Tintin he was 14 or 15 years old, "but now, let's say that he is 17." In one shot in the television series episode The Secret of the Unicorn, Tintin's passport states his birth year as 1929 (the year of his print debut).
Tintin has no family members: any mention of a mother, father or siblings is noticeably absent. He makes no mention of his family throughout the series. Nowhere is it implied that he is an orphan; it could be argued that he meets his family between adventures. Tintin's lack of relatives is irrelevant to his adventuring; it is the adopted family of friends he makes through his exploits that makes up his family unit.
Unlike other characters such as Captain Haddock or Professor Calculus, Tintin has no discernible past prior to the beginning of the series. Whereas Haddock can recall a particularly fierce storm at sea or Calculus can boast of his athletic past, Tintin's roots prior to Land of the Soviets are never discussed. His companions encounter old friends like Captain Chester or Hercule Tarragon, yet Tintin only meets friends or enemies whom he met in previous adventures.
Even the name "Tintin" remains a mystery. Whether it is a first name or a surname is unknown. A possibility is that it is not actually the reporter's real name, but rather a pseudonym that the character uses to protect his identity while writing columns for his newspaper: Le Petit Vingtième. At the time when the stories first came out, journalists' usage of pseudonyms was commonplace. The possibility that it may not be his real name is also hinted in Cigars of the Pharaoh when Tintin is accused of poisoning one of a notable sheik's servants. Having been captured and brought to his tent, the enraged sheik demands Tintin's name. Tintin's characteristically placid answer is: "My name? It won't mean a thing to you... but at home they call me Tintin." A simpler theory for his name is the fact that Franco-Belgian comics at the time generally had heroes with eccentric, memorable single names that could pass off as first names or surnames. Many people tend to think of "Tintin" as a surname, but it is likely that Hergé meant to keep it a mystery. Hergé was a great admirer of Benjamin Rabier and may have derived the name (and hairstyle) from Rabier's Tintin lutin (1897). There also have been theories that Tintin is a nickname for Martin or Augustin. One last theory holds that the name "Tintin" signifies nothing, pointing to the character's cipherous nature. As Paul LaFarge writes,
Tintin was a word before it was a name; it means 'nothing,' and the phrase faire tintin loosely means "to go without." Hergé's boy reporter does not bear the name by accident.
Throughout much of the series, Tintin's attitude is characterised by inquisitive tendencies and a noble, forgiving nature. While his idealism earns him the admiration of many people he meets, it also places him in danger on occasion and serves as a foil to the more sceptical demeanour of other characters such as Captain Haddock. And unlike nearly every other character he meets, Tintin can be relied upon to remain calm and cool-headed, even in the worst of circumstances. Only on very rare occasions, such as after Haddock's drunken antics threatened his friend's lives (Explorers on the Moon), could Tintin actually lose his temper.
Tintin's political views are generally ambiguous in many of the books and specific expression of his opinions are rare. While in earlier books such as Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo Tintin is characterised as a proud Belgian Catholic, later books avoid specific mention of his views (see Ideology of Tintin). His opinions appear to change over time, though in many situations he can be classified as a pacifist, reflecting a dislike of war. At the beginning of Tintin and the Picaros, he is seen wearing a motorcycle helmet with a Peace symbol on it.
Readers of Tintin books have speculated about his sexuality. Marcel Wilmet, spokesperson of Studios Hergé, has confirmed that Tintin is not gay and, while he has many male friends, they are not boyfriends. However, many still question his ambiguous sexuality.
Towards the end of the series, Tintin's character changes to a degree. In later stories, Tintin no longer actively seeks out adventure but is rather forced into a situation by events beyond his control (such as being kidnapped[10] or motivated to rescue a friend). This is especially evident in Flight 714 and Tintin and the Picaros, where Tintin's loss of enthusiasm for adventure is apparent, and his youthful idealism appears to have been replaced by a somewhat more cynical outlook. There has been much debate among readers and critics about this shift in characterisation, as these final adventures have received varying and sometimes negative responses. Critics argue that these books represent either a late period of eccentricity, or puzzling disappointments, while others claim that Tintin's shift represents a more complex depiction of his character. Hergé commented upon this change, noting that in the late phases of his career, "Tintin has lost control, he is not on top of events anymore, he is subjected to them." However, in the unfinished album Tintin and Alph-Art, Tintin regained much of his old adventurous personality, actively investigating suspicious events and murder threats.
The earlier version of Tintin was apparently inspired, at least in part, by Hergé's younger brother, Paul Remi, a career soldier. Tired of being referred to as "Major Tintin" by his colleagues, Paul later shaved his hair and adopted a more Erich von Stroheim look. Hergé subsequently used Paul's appearance as a model for the villainous Colonel Sponsz in The Calculus Affair. Tintin and Sponsz, although physically very different, have actually quite similar hair spikes.
Hergé may have also been inspired by a Danish boy scout and later actor Palle Huld who was 15 years old when he travelled around the world and wrote Around the World in 44 days by Palle. In the book he describes his tour to Soviet, America, China, Africa etc. and about his dramatic adventures. It was translated into 11 languages and it was read by Hergé. Palle Huld died in 2010 at the age of 98.
However, the inspiration for the clothing Hergé dressed Tintin in lay elsewhere. A fellow student of Hergé's from St Boniface, named Charles, had adopted a similar style of plus fours and argyle socks, which caused him to be the subject of no little ridicule. Harry Thompson notes the inspiration may be tinged slightly, suggesting that if "Hergé had been one of the laughers, an element of guilt was involved."
The first 3 adventures of Tintin visit places visited by photographer-reporter Robert Sexé, recorded in the Belgian press from the mid to late 1920s. Sexé was born in 1890 in La Roche-sur-Yon in Vendée in Western France. Janpol Schulz wrote a biography of Robert Sexé titled "Sexé au pays des Soviets" (Sexé in the Land of the Soviets) to mimic the name of the first Tintin Adventure. This was published in 1996.
Robert Sexé has been noted to have a similar appearance to Tintin, and the Hergé Foundation in Belgium has admitted that it is not too hard to imagine how Hergé could have been influenced by the exploits of Sexé.[16] At that time Sexé had been round the world on a motorcycle made by Gillet of Herstal. René Milhoux was a Grand-Prix champion and motorcycle record holder of the era, and in 1928, while Sexé was in Herstal speaking with Léon Gillet about his future projects, Mr. Gillet put him in contact with his new champion, Milhoux, who had just left Ready motorcycles for Gillet of Herstal. The two men quickly struck up a friendship, and spent hours talking about motorcycles and voyages, Sexé explaining his needs and Milhoux giving his knowledge on mechanics and motorbikes pushed beyond their limits.
Thanks to this union of knowledge and experience, Robert Sexé would head off on numerous trips throughout the world, writing countless press accounts. The General Secretary of the Hergé Foundation in Belgium has admitted that it is not too hard to imagine how a young George Rémi, better known as Hergé, could have been inspired by the well-publicized exploits of these two friends, Sexé with his trips and documentaries and Milhoux with his triumphs and records, to create the characters of Tintin the famous travelling reporter, and his faithful companion Milou (Snowy).
Hergé himself has noted that Tintin existed as his personal expression, and although he recorded in 1947 that he knew "Tintin is no longer me, that, if he is to go on living, it will be by a sort of artificial respiration that I will have to practice constantly and which exhausts me, and will exhaust me more and more",[17] he was also fond of stating "Tintin, c'est moi!" ("Tintin, that's me!").
Shortly before his death, former Belgian Nazi collaborator Léon Degrelle created controversy by stating that the Tintin character was originally based on himself. Degrelle had indeed known Hergé during his early career as a journalist, but this allegation is generally considered a fabrication of the notorious self-booster Degrelle

Historically, stock trading took place at several spots in Paris, including rue Quincampoix, rue Vivienne (near the Palais Royal), and the back of the Opéra Garnier (the Paris opera house). In the early 19th century, the Paris Bourse's activities found a stable location at the Palais Brongniart, or Palais de la Bourse, designed by architect Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart.
