“I watch CNBC in my office with the sound muted. Strangely, even with no sound, I can always understand what Rick Santelli is saying.” –Eddy Elbenbein, Crossing Wall Street.
[Editor's Note: Every now and then we like to call a feature "... of the day." You know, like "Deal of the Day" or "Stock of the day." Usually we have every intention of keeping up with this and making it a daily feature. But, to be frank, when we call something a "daily feature" that usually translates into "when we get around to it." But if you have any suggestions for new daily or weekly features, feel free to drop us a line in the comments section below. We're looking to launch some new things in the new year, especially now that we've more or less dropped the Shorter DealBook.]

DealBreaker has a new cousin. A couple of months ago, we started AboveTheLaw.com so that when the junior analysts get the partners at Cravath out of bed with a 3AM phone call, the lawyers have something read while they’re waiting for the bankers to tell them to jump and how high. Now we have a site for the people on the other end of the deal: the clients.
SUPERMOGUL.com is a business site for C-level (CEO/CFO/COO/etc.) executives and senior-level managers. You can find it here.

Still here? Good. We are also. For a bit longer. But let’s admit that none of us are really getting much done. Thin trading. Market wiggling this way and that. No one answering the phone. We keep wondering if our email system is down but it’s not. There’s just not anyone on the other end of the internets hitting the send button.
Not much by the way of news, much less the soundrels and scandals we like to obsess over. Taking a cue from our little brother, we’re going to open up this comment thread to complaints, whining, bitching or just explanations for what you’re doing at work today. That’s right. Today you get to entertain us. Get to it.
Bonus time is upon us, and so we’re starting to hear rumors and gossip about who is getting what on Wall Street. But we need your help! Please email us with everything you know, you’ve heard or you think you might know about bonuses this year. Thanks!
DealBreaker editor John Carney will be on CNBC’s On The Money tonight at 7:40, discussing the new Goldman Sachs P.M.D.’s. Watch him/read him all at the same time– meta!
Update: Well, looks like we’ve got the night off. Team OTM just emailed to say their dance card was all full for the night. So instead we’ll be off stalking the new PMDs at happy hour tonight.
This morning we’re teaming up with our friends over at Wallstrip to discuss this week’s hottest stories. Think GooTube, Wesley Snipes’ tax troubles, the girls of Hewlett-Packard and, of course, Aleksey Vayner.
Just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, Wallstrip is the fun, funny and informative daily video site that launched this week. Oh, and it stars the very pretty, very bright Lindsay Campbell. And if you still don’t get it, watch the video they put up explaining the site.
A note about, uhm, some wide margins in our relative onscreen perfomances. Well, all we can say is that you might notice that there are two people on the show and one of us spends most of our time writing in a semi-darkened cavern and taking calls from disgruntled investment bankers while the other one of us is Lindsay Campbell. We’ll probably get better at this but that’s a forward looking statement. And lets face it, past performance probably indicates future results here.
Continuing our foray into televised media today, DealBreaker editor John Carney is scheduled to be on CNBC’s On the Money sometime around 7:10 pm tonight. The topic will be Wall Street bonuses. (If you are outside of New York, please check your local listings.)
