Assuming she’s as hot as she describes herself and that she still needs to pimp herself out in classified ads, I’m led to one certain conclusion: 100% freakazoid.
huh, she say’s she knows all of her bodies erogenous folds. Bully for her!
Moody’s Investors Service will begin in October to switch its U.S. public
finance ratings to its global scale, making all its credit ratings
comparable. The changes should be mostly completed by January.
The rating agency announced in June that it would shift its muni ratings so
they align more closely with the scale it uses for corporate bonds. The move
was hailed by municipalities that stand to see their ratings upgraded, as
well as by investors who see it as a step toward greater transparency that
could bring more funds into the muni market. Upgrades for muni issuers
should translate into lower interest rates and bond insurance premiums.
Through preliminary analysis Moody’s found that, on average, state and local
government general obligation ratings will likely be two notches higher on
the global scale than they are on the municipal scale. Among enterprise
sectors, ratings are expected to be one notch higher on average. Ratings at
or above Aa3 are likely to rise less than those below Aa3.
Anyone else read that Bilderberg Group article referenced in the “professors” article.
Crazy conspiracy theory stuff.

In my experience “starving artist” means borderline-crazy, horny freak slut. Of course, this one happens to be a slightly more gold-digging one than most (who’ll easily settle for analyst types, not full-on HF managers – as they know little of such things). At least she’s upfront about it though, sigh…
Nah, the craigslist ad sounds like some private detective’s ploy to flush out a straying hubby. 40+ Harrison philanderers with wandering eyes, beware!
btw let me just clarify that “horny freak slut” is not a bad thing (usually)
I am the CEO of a hedge fund. What does “horny” mean?
who is the whore? i feel like we have seen almost this exact same ad posted here before.
9 is hilarious.
@ 9: the dunn bros.

Beverly Hills, Calif.-based City National Corp., the parent company of City National Bank, owns a majority of Convergent’s equity through its Chicago-based subsidiary, Convergent Capital Management LLC.

They were probably tricked into believing that City National was really Citi National, a new wealth management subsidiary.
What dufuses.
re: 12: not @ 9, @10.
