    Unless there’s a workaround on comp, Short Hills, Summit, Chatham, Madison, etc. will take it on the chin. A remarkable correlation between house prices and bonuses.

    There is active interest every day on NY CDS as you have more than one player making markets in that and many other names (Cal GO’s, NYC’s, etc..).

    I love this. Average Joe clamors about Wall St bonuses and then cries about New York’s budget deficit. I LOVE it. You can’t write this stuff.
