Will someone please ask the blind man if he knows what recession means?
Is this a recycled piece of news, or what? What kind of aid is Governor Paterson planning for Bear Stearns?
oh.. and i think he got the 20% figure wrong.. the immediate cash bonuses – the ones which can be taxed immediately – will be way lower than 20%… geez.. first a multiple affirmative action candidate gets underserved attention.. and then he tries to act like a smart-ass…
WB is shutting down their wholesale mortgage operations. Starting notifying managers Sunday afternoon. IndyMac did the same thing a week before they went TU.
They report their numbers tomorrow morning.
I was just trying to relax with a birthday present from my ancient and esteemed dad, a subscription to “The Week” magazine (don’t laugh, it came along with a $25.00 personal check!), and I came to p. 42, where “Best Columns” in business journalism were reviewed.
There, beneath a picture of Chris Cox looking more like a NYC police lieutenant than you could ever have imagined possible for a HBS grad, was a big conclusory paragraph praising John Carney’s opposition to the SEC’s crack down on rumor-mongering, as previously published in Dealbreaker.com. The column mentioned the views of Stephanie Clifford and Jenny Anderson of the New York Times, Bryan Burrough, Barry Ritholz of TheBigPicture.com, but there wasn’t a single mention of a certain ARS!
Congratulations on the recognition for staking out an unpopular position and sticking to it, John, and for bringing the spotlight onto the website.
