Zoellick Favors Power For Treasury, Not Fed (WSJ)
“It will be difficult to vest the independent and powerful technocrats at the Federal Reserve with more authority,” the World Bank President said. “My reading of recent crisis management is that the Treasury Department needed greater authority to pull together a bevy of different regulators. Moreover, the Treasury is an executive department, and therefore Congress and the public can more directly oversee how it uses any added authority.”

“Ivandjiiski was initially enthusiastic about being interviewed for this story and considered confirming his real identity, then backed out, citing the objection of a Chicago-based partner, who used to blog at Dealbreaker under the pseudonym “Equity Private.” She now calls herself “Marla Singer,” another character from Fight Club. She feared Ivandjiiski’s exposure would lead to her unmasking as well. But more important, he made clear, a measure of secrecy is essential to the site’s mission as an incorruptible critic of the market.
Ivandjiiski did arrange for me to speak with Singer. It was a bizarre exchange. “Tyler Durden isn’t one person,” she said, but up to 40 different people allowed to post under that name. “We are all Tyler Durden,” Singer claimed. “

@1 I’m going to crucify washed up finance professionals on the road between Greenwich and NYC until the real Tyler Durden confesses. Coincidentally I’ll be making the world a better each time.
W.C. Varones, I’m going to take a grainy photo of your house/office from an unflattering angle in an attempt to convince people you’re broke.

“…Financial blogs grew out of the message boards launched by Yahoo! Finance …”
From the ZH article. Nothing more need be said.
@10 why is that exciting to you?
@12 you do realize you’re reading and commenting on one of these things, right?
Kinda pissed they didnt mention that the Dealbreaker faithful are launching a hedge fund.
“Indeed, the pathetic flailing of Dykstra in business were more reckless and deceptive than a laymen’s swing at major league pitching…”
Uhh Bess??? Do something!!!
@13
Your putting ZH and DB in the same category? That would be like comparing Drudge and the National Enquirer. One’s a conspiracy theorist website, the other a gossip tabloid blog.
I tried fisting a moose over the weekend. The outcome is that I’m laid up in some shit hole Canadian hospital while some -dick for brains- Canadian moose runs around downtown Montreal with my rotting arm up its ass.
@16 I’m calling them both “financial blogs,” yes. And I believe DB is now referred to as “the de facto page six,” per nymag.
Hedge fund executive plunges to death at casino…via drudge
“My Lats are too big to fail!”
Do you have to ask?
Wait a minute, Jeff Macke shared an office with my dermatologist?
@19 It’s not Cliffy so it really doesn’t matter.
I really like Macke’s response.
@1 and others, “After graduation, Ivandjiiski [zero hedge founder] instead took a job as a junior investment banker at Jefferies & Company in Los Angeles”
Finally, a red letter day for Jeffries!
