    “as long as she’s in the top 50 she’ll still be mrs. layfield”

    @1
    Because the staff at Fortune (“the most powerful magazine in business” — is she on crack?) is incompetent.
    Also: “I’ve never taken my husband’s name. please don’t tell my husband this” huh? Is he retarded and has never noticed that she has not been using his name?

    they seem like a cute couple

    keep flaming her boys and girls but she understands the game better than any person on this board.
    her analysis has been stone cold right.
    while everyone else mostly held their pee pee’s

  9. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:04 PM

    @4– you watched the video. does he sound like he’s not retarded?

  10. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:05 PM

    I absolutely can not stand that broad

  11. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:06 PM

    @8
    the comments here are not about her anal-ysis, but about this video — analysis aside she is a retard (just look who she’s married!)

  12. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:07 PM

    She is at Oppenheimer. CIBC World Markets (that’s what they like to call themselves) sold Oppenheimer for something like $10 after several astute moves in CDO’s. Guess they weren’t listening to her.

    @8
    And what’s up with your “pee pee”? You f**king wuss

  14. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:11 PM

    @8 If she is so brilliant why is she at Oppenheimer lol

  15. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:12 PM

    hi number 13,
    my cock is really skinny, but at least it’s short.
    and i’m sorry meridith whitney is smarter than you.
    it’s not my fault, retard.

  16. Posted by AJ | August 7, 2008 at 12:12 PM

    He seems entertaining. She seems very annoying

  17. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:17 PM

    @15
    Spoken like a true Meredith
    Excellent analysis

  18. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:20 PM

    @AJ– uh, he sounds legitimately retarded.

  19. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:24 PM

    #15 must be Whitney herself
    who else would write such stupidity

  20. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:26 PM

    i’m getting the feeling that there are a bunch of jealous little guys on this board named raj and avi.

  21. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:27 PM

    hes a downie

  22. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:27 PM

    oh, and a couple of chicks named rebecca.

  23. Posted by AJ | August 7, 2008 at 12:28 PM

    @18 Am I the only one who is entertained by retarded people?

  24. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:29 PM

    You cant stand that broad because you are likely a long-only permabull. you can’t handle the truth!

    that guys cawk is bigger than 90% of the “men” on this blog.
    and i mean the entire man.

  27. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:31 PM

    @14: so dead on!
    All CIBC-ers are brain-dead rejects of society. And all Oppenheimers are rejects of CIBC!
    Mrs. Layfield started making all those citi comments when she was afraid of getting canned (CIBC was thinking of shutting down Oppenheimer). It was a huge gamble on her part, not brilliance. She just had nothing to lose at that point.

  28. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:35 PM

    hi # 27,
    you got the whole world figured out, huh?
    lol
    meridith whitney could probably negotiate a pay package for more than you’ll make in your whole life at a “real” firm like yours just to shut her up.
    lol

  29. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:35 PM

    @26: Meridith, go suck his HUGE CAWK so you can be quiet for a minute

  30. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:36 PM

    dude defending whitney– could you at least spell her name correctly? thanks.

  31. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:37 PM

    wall street is like the rap world.
    straight ballin’

  32. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:37 PM

    yep, Whitney is on crack.

  33. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:39 PM

    hi # 30,
    i don’t even know how to spell cawk and you want me to spell her name right?
    lol @ “spelling”
    why don’t you just break out the hitler internet card and get it over with?
    loser.
    lol

  34. Posted by BSD | August 7, 2008 at 12:41 PM

    @4 et.al.,
    Fortune is about on par with Business Week so far as power and respect goes, but it’s pretty clear that Meredith is pandering just because she’s so happy to do a photo shoot and live out her secret fantasy of being on America’s Next Top Plus-Sized Model, whereas her husband, I imagine, is just portraying his WWE “persona”, which appears to be an arrogant Beverly Hillbilly, with his comments.
    Meredith’s quip about not taking her husband’s name though was clearly a retort to him calling her Mrs. Layfield.
    #27 may be closer to the truth than everyone who thinks Whitney is brilliant. I’m holding my opinion until the financials start recovering to see if she’s a no-trick pony who just made a gutsy call and is intend on sticking to it no matter what the markets say.

  35. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:41 PM

    hi # 33
    Get off here you annoying little pisser
    lol

  36. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:41 PM

    @27, if that’s true, why is she ranked #2 in the 2007 rankings when financials were still positive?

  37. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:42 PM

    hi 35,
    are you english?
    if not, then you’re a total zero for using brit slang.
    wanker lol

  38. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:43 PM

    hi 33 you are really funny. lol lol lol lol lol lol.

  39. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:43 PM

    What’s up with all of the lol’s here? I don’t get what’s so funny.

  40. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:47 PM

    hi 39,
    what’s funny is witnessing the public jealously of a bunch of delusional self described alpha dogs getting pwned by some chick married to a wrestler.
    they can’t stand that she’s smarter than them.
    and it’s fucking funny.

  41. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:50 PM

    hi 40,
    yeah, you called it.
    Not.
    Just watch the video and see the retards in their natural state with no corporate publicity manager hanging over.
    lol lol lol

  42. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:51 PM

    hi 41,
    1988 called, it wants “NOT” back.
    weirdo.
    lol

  43. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 12:56 PM

    retards.

  44. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:01 PM

    when did DB let youtube commenters on here…this shit is awful

  45. Posted by Bess Levin | August 7, 2008 at 1:10 PM

    @44 as you can obviously infer, they all come from a single person who’s one ‘lol’ and ‘meridith’ away from getting banned.

  46. Posted by HAM05 | August 7, 2008 at 1:10 PM

    wow 44 took the words right out of my mouth

  47. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:12 PM

    hi 44,
    would you prefer engaging in some highbrow discussion regarding this topic?
    lol
    please shine your knowledge and wisdom upon me. lol
    i’m waiting.

  48. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:17 PM

    hi bess levin,
    what sort of comments should i be making regarding this topic?
    i’m sorry if i stepped out of line.
    you reap what you sow.
    and you sow a lot of snarky comments and prose.
    no?

  49. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:19 PM

    btw bess,
    are you in any way related to john levin?

  50. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:21 PM

    @ Ms.45,
    In the spirit of Juan Carnivore, i think it a shame to banish anyone from the comment section, including all the mayo stuff, foot fetishes, and the youtube commenters. Let the free markets of DB sort themselves out; more freedom and less regulation… Thanks..
    @42,
    Hilarious!!!

  51. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:23 PM

    42/50 (obviously same person). no. morons who ruin threads need to be dealt with.

  52. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:26 PM

    I’ve never seen so many “lol’s” on here before. This is pathetic. I wouldn’t let my maid’s kids read this.

  53. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:42 PM

    Looked to me like he gets the tongue-in-cheek thing better than DD.

  54. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:43 PM

    Oh my, I visit a gay chat board, but they’ve got NOTHING on you hens when it comes to bitchy banter.
    Three giant finger snaps, girlfriends!!!

  55. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:46 PM

    all the Hi @ blah blah and LOL?!!!! Most annoying comment section ever. Bess, pull the trigger on this loser.

  56. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 1:48 PM

    I wonder if Abbey Joseph Cohen didn’t see what Meredith saw? Maybe she did.

  57. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 2:44 PM

    @40 -
    #39 here. I was being sarcastic. None of the comments were even remotely funny, so there was no need for all of the “laughter” (I am ABSOLUTELY NOT writing those three letters, after what I’ve witnessed here today).

  58. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 2:48 PM

    holy crap bess levin was serious.
    she banned me! lol
    lol really pisses serious people who make snarky comments about a wrestler off. strange.
    I have tor/privoxy so this could get stupid which I want no part of.
    sorry bess levin. for real.
    i was just playing along.
    lets get back to the serious business of dealbreaker making fun of firms like MER for limiting employees ability to post on dealbreaker.
    Huh?

  59. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 2:56 PM

    I think Rebecca is a nice name.

  60. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 3:12 PM

    Whitney. Hitler. Hitler. Whitney.
    Whitney IS Hitler. Hitler IS whitney!

  61. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 3:15 PM

    I made out with MW at a Steam Alley while at Brown. True story.

  62. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 3:17 PM

    @61: And who cares?

  63. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 3:29 PM

    @61: What a great story! Tell it again! Tell it again!

  64. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 3:33 PM

    @61 Did you touch her balls too?

  65. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 3:36 PM

    @61: Story doesn’t matter unless you are a hot female….or a donkey.

  66. Posted by guest | August 7, 2008 at 4:05 PM

    Anyone else notice this board is sounding a lot like TAR. Long live Large!

  67. Posted by guest | August 8, 2008 at 5:41 AM

    Jesus Fucking Christ, i know everyone is on holidays, but wtf is happening to this board of late? Its fucking embarrassing. Its like a group of 1st year analysts w/ too much sugar.

  68. Posted by guest | August 8, 2008 at 8:20 AM

    the only person here who is a genius is Bud Lowenthal, who probably pays Whitney half of what she’d make somewhere else, just because he took an option on her when noone else wanted her, a couple years back…BL is the real winner here.
