Welcome to the Views from a weekly podcast brought to you by Reuters Breaking Views. I'm Rob Cox,

the editor of Breaking Views, coming to you from Connecticut in the USA. Well, this week is a bit of a magic carpet ride with three different

segments coming to you from our columnists in Melbourne, Hong Kong, London, and if you can believe

it, New Orleans, Louisiana. First, I chatted with our US editor, John Foley, who's working

out of the Big Easy this week because, well, why the hell not? He analyzed the pay packages of the bosses of the biggest American banks, including Morgan, Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and J.P. Morgan. His view is that bumper compensation during a year of the global plague is a pretty bad look. Whether that will lead to any sort of investor or political backlash, though, is, well,

to be seen. After that, I hand the mic over to Anthony Curry and Melbourne to chat with Sharon

Lamb in Hong Kong about C. Now, C is the Southeast Asian tech conglomerate you've probably

never heard of, but whose shares have quintupled in the past year, giving the Singaporean company

an eye-popping $127 billion market value.

After that, we wing back to London, where our European editor, Peter Thal Larson, talks to

Neil Unmac, about the demise of Green Sill Capital, the supply chain finance provider.

Now, the firm's ructions may not be systemic, but they sure offer a fascinating window into this obscure niche of the financial markets.

Give a listen.

Greetings, John Foley. Where do I find you on this fine afternoon?
