Jon Block head of international trading in the Americas!

Yes, Nomura Securities has hired Mr Block as head of international trading in the Americas. Because there are two Americas. There is the America that everyone knows and loves: Elvis, apple pie, JFK, etc. Then there's the other America, the astral America that exists in our subconscious. Mr Block will be travelling between the two, physical and astral, a warrior in both worlds!

Is he qualified for this? Well, he worked at Goldman Sachs for ten years, so I should think so. He also worked at UBS. But that's not a problem. We all have things on our CVs that we would rather forget.

Good luck, Mr Block head of international trading in the Americas!
