What The Hell?

Posted by Bess Levin, Jan 07, 2008, 5:58pm

CNBC’s Senior Testes and Estrogen Correspondent Charlie Gasparino, who just can’t get enough of this stuff, reports that SAC trader Ping Jiang probably lost 200 million last year. At one point, Ping was Stevie-boy Cohen’s second highest earner. Where did things go wrong? The obvious answer is not enough E, and not that his "top secret training program" of skin tight tube tops and miniskirts on the floor was distracting Ping from executing profitable trades. Paulson Capital can attest to this, as they posted a 52% return in 2007 after reinstating their cross-dressing/estrogen-injection regimen following a disappointing 2006. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Bess, I had to stop reading dealbreaker as much because your headlines beat around so many bushes that getting to the actual story isn't worth it. That and you seem pretty infatuated with how clever you think you are.

Somebody- i'm not sure where you get that from bess, but seeing as though db has a readership of about 300k, seems there are a few people infatuated with how clever she is.

It is bess' ramblings (cleverly concocted might I add) that keep us sharp and attentive while we um, oh, uh procrastinate from doing the work we're actually supposed to be focusing on. Wait what'd i just say, that was the dumbest thing I ever heard

@ 12:39 - abso-fuckin-lutely!

I'm off to the Caribbean in a few hrs, bringing the comp/itouch but no idea what the wifi coverage is like.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the good lord (not Albert) for the wondrous creation that is Duty Free. Can I get an AMEN?

Ping got shelled on exactly the same stuff that turned him into Caligula the year before: long Arg local linker paper and GDP warrants. Live by the sword, die by the sword!

Yeah, he probably did, but he's made SAC $1bn since he's been there, and made easily more than that for Lehman before he jetted.

@Anal_yst - which island? I highly recommend Tortola.
