How are the COBS rules on investment research different from the old ones?

The COBS rules are intelligent copy out of the MiFID provisions on investment research, which contain a narrower definition of investment research than in current COB. The term 'investment research' will be used to refer to research or other relevant information that is labelled or described as such, or is otherwise presented as objective or independent. Any research material that does not meet these conditions is described as 'non-independent research' in COBS, and must be clearly identified and treated as a 'marketing communication'.

And the COBS rules apply to both oral and written material (the current COB research provisions focused on written material), and to financial instruments (rather than designated investments as specified in COB). More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
