And on an even more serious note, for which you should brace yourselves, Taleb has announced he will not be going to Davos this year. Why? Because he’s sick of the name dropping fame whores in attendance who don’t know anything about debt, like he does. Black Swan will be making better use of his time “at home with my fireplace and notebook and library,” where he will fix our economy while less serious people– NT hates to name names but “Rouriel Noubini” he mouths– will be in Switzerland banging economist groupies.

    Taleb is an arrogant gasbag. Smart as fuck, but a gasbag.

    Men’s clothing retailer Bonobos has become a fashion sensation among Wall Streeters. The online company recently raised $18.5 million in funding, and it now has its eyes set on a bigger market.

    “……. or fortieth time?….”

    You must have been the one recently approving Lyondell freight rates to Venezuela.

    Here’s a question for any of the these fucktards…

    when was it ever right, fixed, working, or otherwise good to go?

    Only on all things finance.

    Vegas…Davos. Both 5 letter-towns, loaded with hookers when the big crowds show up. Davos is a high-priced Money Show from Vegas. Ever been to one of those? Listen to idiots from CNBC talking markets? That’s what Davos is like for NT. He’ll be revered sometime after he’s dead.
