I mean seriously though, can't you come up with a better pit to shoot yourself in than the interest rate futures pit? I thought everyone knew that the big fortunes are won and lost in the Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice pit. And, folks, if you are going to shoot yourself on a floor at all, please finish the job the first time, right?

Why are we paying the banks to foreclose on people who have the ability to pay at current 30y fixed market rates?
Does anyone know if this trader was getting pressured into a shortsale on his Manhattan spread?
Or was it a foreclosue notice on the family's CT homestead?

Wow. That was an obvious cry for attention. A real man spins the chamber, takes a shot of Stoli, and points it to the temple...

Must've stung a bit. Bet his wife will still give him grief "Hi honey! Did you make a killing today?...no?...my mom was right, you're a failure!"
Posted by guest , Nov 17, 2008 3:57PM
He shorted himself...in the chest. Gasbag, you're a TOOL!

It was, "BUY Mortimer! BUY!"

Fuck SPODE! I'm tired and didn't realize that link was NSFW.
You should really ask Wiki to take down that pick of your sister.

He couldn't even kill himself properly. How good of a trader could he possibly be?
Posted by Last Man Standing , Nov 17, 2008 9:03PM
doesn"t this guy know you gotta shoot in the mouth or temple?
in the chest? what a buffoon
Posted by guest , Nov 17, 2008 9:13PM
damn.... he must have lost over Brazilian dollars.
Posted by guest , Nov 17, 2008 11:11PM
Damn this guy! The next firm to do cost cutting is likely to ask for just this sort of "voluntary reduction-in-force" versus "announced layoffs". Better PR if the lagging performers just off themselves than forcing all that bothersome unpleasantness for the H.R. Department...
