That’s Awfully Final

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?

    I guess he had no interest in his future.

    What a considerat chum…didn’t even contribute to an unemployment uptick while simultaneously creating another job opening for some of New York’s newly unemployed.

    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 – everyday, financials can go down 5-10%

    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…
    …Do it Hank. It’s your only way out…

    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!”

  13. Posted by guest | November 17, 2008 at 3:57 PM

    He shorted himself…in the chest. Gasbag, you’re a TOOL!

  14. Posted by guest | November 17, 2008 at 3:58 PM

    @8
    It was, “BUY Mortimer! BUY!”

    If he had Jazz Hands this never would’ve happened.

    Over 15 posts and STILL no “full brazilian” comment…
    You guys growing up or something??

  17. Posted by guest | November 17, 2008 at 4:15 PM

    He must have traded in DI Futures

  18. Posted by guest | November 17, 2008 at 4:18 PM

    He should have waited for Akeem to drop him a bag of money

  19. Posted by guest | November 17, 2008 at 4:18 PM

    Now even the Grim Reaper can’t close a deal?

    For #16

    And I thought Wikipedia was a G rated sight.
    G what I wouldn’t give to get my Jazz Hands on that.

    What does Itau and the Charlies Angels have in common? Brazilians and loaded handguns

  22. Posted by guest | November 17, 2008 at 4:44 PM

    Now that is what I call a peach

  23. Posted by guest | November 17, 2008 at 5:04 PM

    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.
    BOOM.

    He couldn’t even kill himself properly. How good of a trader could he possibly be?

  25. Posted by Last Man Standing | November 17, 2008 at 9:03 PM

    doesn”t this guy know you gotta shoot in the mouth or temple?
    in the chest? what a buffoon

  26. Posted by guest | November 17, 2008 at 9:13 PM

    damn…. he must have lost over Brazilian dollars.

  27. Posted by guest | November 17, 2008 at 11:11 PM

    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…
