French Bank BNP Paribas Profits Back up in Q3

Excerpt:

The bank said Wednesday that its profits were euro1. 3 billion in the third quarter, up dramatically from euro541 million in the same period of 2011, when it was hit by a huge writedown on Greek debt. The growth in profits was largely due to strong investment banking activity. Its investment banking unit CIB registered a 7. 3 percent rise in pre-tax profit to euro732 million. BNP says that despite a "difficult environment" for banks, it has boosted its capital earlier than scheduled under the so-called Basel III rules meant to make banks better able to withstand the kind of financial crises that have hit the sector in recent years.

Zimbabwe: Civic Groups Refuse Diamond Money Offer | Synopsis

Zimbabwe: Civic Groups Refuse Diamond Money Offer

Excerpt:

Civic activists say they will not accept the Zimbabwe mining minister's offer of funds because it would hamper their efforts to make government accountable for its diamond revenues. Farai Maguwu, director of a new minerals watchdog, Center for Natural Resources Governance, said Friday that Mines Minister Obert Mpofu's offer of 1 percent of all diamond sales to civic groups would "compromise our neutrality." He said the non-governmental organizations need their independence to "criticize and pressure" the state to account for its diamond mining activities. Mpofu earlier said that President Robert Mugabe's government wants to "extend an olive branch" to civic groups that are interested in diamond mining in Marange. Mpofu has amassed a personal fortune from misuse of the diamond sales, according to a recent report by Partnership Africa Canada.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
