Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LONG-TERM Capital Management, the hedge fund at the centre of a $3.75bn bail-out in September, is starting to make money again, according to Wall Street insiders. The fund, founded by former Salomon Brothers star trader John Meriwether, has been profitable since the start of November after being down 5 per cent the previous month. Sources close to the fund say that while "nobody is declaring victory, the situation has stabilised."
The fund, which is now controlled by a consortium of 14 banks, including top Wall Street houses Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch as well Britain's Barclays Bank, has benefited from the recovery in the corporate bond markets that followed the cut in US interest rates last month.
