      Has anyone else missed Anal_yst’s thoughts and insights? I know he’s probably working insane Wall St. hours and hitting the clubs pretty hard with his bro’s, but I wish he’d share his views more often.

      Canadians rarely default because banks (mostly) have a 10% down payment policy at a minimum to keep land ownership out of the hands of the plebes.

      I highly recommend that Fake rating agency..err Fitch hire intelligent employees.They are partly responsible for our economy’s collapse.They act like gods but mostly wrong with their ratings.Those bastards…

      Gary Coleman. Kinda sad. One of those people who you don’t care is alive really, but once dead, reminds of you of mortality and the passing of time. Almost makes me want to do something productive before my time comes.

      WTF is SPODE doing commenting everywhere on Going Concern about his Bess fantasies? Has his IP been banned from DB?

      @18 Whatever the reality, SPODE claims to believe that he was banned from DB.

      I fucking got iced this weekend. I have had enough of this crap.

      P.S. Word on the street is that some banks/pe shops are drafting “no icing” policies over the weekend, FYI.
