@47, Yes “We” know that EP is Muffy. The issue is that we are surprised with the ratio of Muffy we are experiencing verses the ratio of EP we expect.
Is Muffy knocked up again?

@23
Muffie is EP. But you knew that as well as you knew this correction was a joke, right?

@7 & @ 11 are completely right. However, the point is being missed! Unbelievably, FT Alphaville got the charts wrong by a square factor. Now, dealbreaker makes a joke by purposely posting a ‘revised’ chart which is wrong by a cube factor!

I think it would have more accurate to portray the current market cap as a single, lonely blue pixel in an endless sea of red, but that’s just me.

I kind of like it when EP slaps back. Is that wrong? EP, slap me again, mother.

@37 I ate my pie chart the moment I got it. That way, my manager could not ask me any questions, as I had not read it.

Two takeaways and a question.
1) The original chart originated at JPM. If said organization cannot do simple math, how could they possible value complex structured securities?
2) If this chart was widely circulated among the finance community and only 20% of people realized there was an erorr, how could their respective organizations possible value complex structured securities?
Is Muffie EP?
