Awk

By Bess Levin

I don’t know how many of you had signed up to hear Erin Callan’s “insights on both the mitigation of risk during volatile market conditions as well as the outlook for Lehman and the industry” tonight at 6:15 but FYI, the event has been cancelled.

    Yet another instance of WallSt keeping a good woman down. Next thing you know they won’t let Carly Fiorina run Citi?
    BUT WOULDN’T SHE BE PERFECT?!?!

    Are you sh&*in’ me? Once you get canned by a firm, it precludes you from speaking in general about the market? (Sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm) I wonder if she had to return that hefty speaking fee they paid out to her. You can’t “mitigate” that sh*$…

    In goldman sachs parlance, her CFO role was “accelerated”

    So, extrapolating recent trends in female occupational shifts (so-to-speak), what is next for Sally? CIO of Pomegranate capital perhaps?

    Erin = Loser. Why should anyone care about anything she has to say. Erin = Shitty Fashionista also. The show was cancelled because nobody cares about what she thinks. Maybe now she realizes that. Hope we don’t hear from her again.

    Probably working out a LEH deal with Dimon and the FED. Wants to get it done before the three day weekend so she can work on her TAN!

    @4:58 has got it. Not with Dimon, as his plate is full, albeit with taxpayer backing. Not a chance in hell any LEH exec. can speak on the record after the stock is down 10% on no news, just rumour. Only ten more days of $2 drops and you’ve got a goose egg. Fat Lady is warming up…….

    beentheredonethat: obviously one of the things you haven’t done is inform yourself of the nature of the Federal Reserve. The loan to Bear Stearns from the Fed to grease the wheels of the JP Morgan deal was made from the Federal Reserve, which is not funded by taxpayer money. Say what you want about Jamie Dimon, whatever is filling his plate is not coming from the taxpayers.

    @6:35……The source of any and all funds of the FRB would be whom?

    @6:35…..also, I know its been a few weeks, but JPM is responsible for the first billion or two of potential losses, and the taxpayer backstop will have to eat the rest if it comes to that……correct? I have the deal sheet in front of me……

    @6:35……the loan was to JPM, not BSC. BSC long gone, no way to get money back from them now……..

    Hmm, you really don’t understand how the Federal Reserve System works, do you?
