    Never use the phrase “going down” in an article that will be read by natural gas traders. It really, really distracts them.

    @13 You are clearly one of the more retarded people I’ve ever encountered…If you’re trying to be funny (which clearly isn’t working), at least get something right..GWM not GWW. Please consider upping your B.S. from Rutgers…

    I believe the first GWM wisecrack referred to Gay White Males, not Whales.
    Why Whales? Maybe our poster is gay for whales? Maybe he summers in Nantucket with his man-bitch, Rodrigo. Maybe he keeps a copy of Moby’s Dick under his pillow? That’s one gay white whale story!
    I presume these cuts are going down in the middle office support areas.

    Great Tiger, gotta hit him in the gut before his upper cut, get your three superpunches, then clobber him. Under 1:20 in the first round every single time.

    There once was a whale in Nantucket
    Whose BA he found in a bucket
    Reports he would run,
    But Vic said he’s done.
    And now, a Duke MBA? Ah, fuckit…

    Anyone have details? Lots of dead wood and useless idiots in the upper ranks there but alas, they are never the ones to get the chop.

    These layoffs don’t mean much of anything. Nor do all the others over the past month.
    Doesn’t everyone know that the crisis is over and that we’re headed for a V-shaped recovery? Obama said so, you know. Bernake did too.
    After all, the bank profits of the 1st quarter are just the beginning of a whole new trend in economic excellence.
    It doesn’t seem to matter that Goldman’s imaginary $1 Bil-plus profit for 1Q followed a $4 Bil-plus loss for the 4Q. I wonder where would Goldman’s 1Q profit be if they hadn’t received, was it $12 Bil, from AIG?
