Bess, you have made some very angry sexual comments lately. "ass bleeding"? I don't know any classy or even normal women that speak like that. Are you a goth?

@4 - ass bleeding gives a disgusting visual. Would you say that in front of your grandma?
It's just funny how lax people have become with nasty terminology.

Good turn of phrase Bess...it says it precisely and conjures up the image needed-yes they are taking an "ass bleeding"...much worse than an "ass whipping"

2 is right, only a bridge and tunnel girl would say something like ass bleeding.

You made me laugh. #2, go chill with Jane Eyre, and hump a bible. Who are these people? Seriously?

Bess -
This is your moment.
America needs you.
Traders need you.
Dare say, I need you.
Bess - show us your tits. Now.
And remind a fund not mentioned so far that their GMAC paper s/b marked at 50, not 90.
God bless us, everyone.
Anyone see Religiulous yet? Could be time for an executive matinee.

seriously, you people need to get a grip. for those of us who have read bessy’s work for some time, we know that these are terms she often uses. the visual her (very descriptive) words produce provides the reader with a strikingly accurate picture of how the investors feel when opening their monthly statement. in fact, given the comments above, I would say she has done her job as a writer. well done bess! btw, and would it matter if bess were a man? how sexist…

@2 actually hilarious. goth or not, its just funny to see an educated woman speak like that in the context of high finance

@14, it definitely would matter if she was a man. If a guy said ass bleeding or a similar term it wouldn't be a big deal, but it's appalling that a girl would write that, let alone even think of it. But rock on dude, you and Bess can go to a Slipknot concert, take a ton of Jager shots, and talk about ass bleeding and ass rape all night long. Cheers!

16,
And you can eat some peyote, wear a flannel, and jam to Dave Matthew with your patchouli-smellin', wildebeest of a girlfriend. Jam on, dude...and don't forget to bring your lax stick. The drum circle always makes an excellent beat for hackysacking, as well.

You need to get out more if a girl saying "ass-bleeding" is new or offensive to you.

Citadel's flagship fund reportedly down 18% acc to FT and the OZ Master Fund (Och-Ziff) is down 5.4% says NYT. its going to be a year of "how much less did you lose"

@20 get over what? bess's fixation on ass and her similarity to cox? wonkette was to politics what this site is to finance - is that so hard to understand? i love how bess has an army of eunuchs ready to shoot down any negative comment about their queen b. i didnt say she (or cox) were not funny. they are both hilarious and highly fuckable, its just amusing to see the predictable reactions of the eunuchs.
here's what will be said: @whatever this becomes, you are a total asshat/toolbox/douche, so grow a pair.

As Cramer spoke, the Pope said:
Opening a Synod of Bishops in the Vatican the Pope referred to a passage from St Matthew's Gospel on false prophets, saying ''He who builds only on visible and tangible things like success, career and money builds the house of his life on sand''.
He added: ''We are now seeing, in the collapse of major banks, that money vanishes, it is nothing. All these things that appear to be real are in fact secondary.''
Those are powerful signs, the Cramer and the Pope. Booyah!
This calls for the immediate cancellation of Cramer's show. Also, if you have some time at lunch (wink, wink) drop by the nearest Catholic church and drop a few coins to light a candle. Betcha!

@29 - honestly it is concern. He was pretty career-oriented so I hope they aren't facing any major problems.

this string went from hedge returns to a dissection of the phrase ass bleeding to the pope and cramer-holy shit-i wish the market would stabilize so i can get back to work
