A reader experimenting with his sadomasochistic side sent us the following two images this morning and asked, separated at birth?

Since many if not all of you are gluttons for punishment as well, at this time, we ask you the same. Keep in mind that while an answer in the affirmative would be a boon to (retired) day traders near and far, it would also be an insult to Kerviel, failing to take into account all of the time and effort he put into that scam in France, even over the summer, while his colleagues were sunning themselves on nude beaches. Then again, answering in the negative would be like someone offering you the opportunity to put Sykes one step closer to the big house (demon seed accomplice = at least ten) and saying “No, thanks.” So, it’s a tough call.
Obviously, someone over at CBS has already made up his/her mind.
I would hire Kerviel as a trader over Timmmmay every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Anyone who’d hire a rogue like “Jer-K” isn’t thinking clearly.

We ever get a measure of where Kerviel’s trading position was prior to Socgen giving it to one, single solitary trader to unwind? My inclination would be to guess he was either very slightly up to slightly down, at least as compared to the ginormous loss they eventually incurred.
Clearly a 50bn Euro unwind over 3 days was the appropriate couse of action though, no doubt about that one…
That would be the cold, black, metallic cyborg womb of HRC
Posted on Monday (while you were sleeping):
After watching this week’s episode of WSW, I just gotta ask – did Gary Dell’Abate’s father ever visit Canada?

Ba-ba-booey! Eh?
And speaking of separated, LiLo and MM (if you’re not smart or lucky enough to work for yourself and therefore have a boss or prudish manager/coworkers, then it’s likely NSFW):

She ain’t Marilyn, but I’d still like to see her do jumping jacks if ya know what I mean…
Does anyone find it ironic that LiLo’s coming out “spread” was based on a woman who died from drug overdose?
Way to shed your party-girl ways LiLo…enjoy your final 15 minutes of fame.
What a fucking tool.
You don’t get it do you. LiLo is not 15 minutes of fame. She has already become and icon and she will be around for years to come. When NY Magazine shoots you as MM, you have indisputably arrived. She will remain on the scene despite her lack of talent until she loses her looks.
ooh what a rack, yummy
I’d take Timmy if I wanted to earn 20-30 bucks a trade, he’s practically the leading authority on it. Any time you need 3 or 4 dollars, get Sykes on the phone for advice!
twin brothers, IMHO
analyst> Kerviel bought 1000′s of DAX contracts at 7370, 7380, 7450 and 7470
(+- 50000 contracts) in august
Jason Zweig is so charismatic it is unbearable. I think he may be Michael Stipe’s genetically shortchanged twin.
