    silver is preferable to gold You should never take style advice from investment bankers. They tend to dress like Dwight Schrute, or if they do make an effort, they assume "if it's expensive it must be stylish / in good taste", and look like rejects from Jersey Shore. The above comment about metal is one of the email's only attempts to go beyond basic hygiene, and it's a fail, for two reasons: 1. If you're going to make a blanket statement like that, it should be promoting goldtone. This is not 2008: silvertone is "out", goldtone is "in". If you ever actually succeed in talking to a model, ask her. 2. Any blanket statement is poor advice anyway. It depends on a person's skintone. Pasty white folk and Asians look better in silvertone, people with more color in their skin (Mediterranean, Hispanic, Indian) look better in goldtone. I'm guessing the authors of the email had Indian students in mind, in which case again goldtone would be more appropriate. Moral of the story: never take fashion advice from someone who may have actually worn a pocket protector before.

    UK is even worse at 89bps (as of yesd). Other European countries are even higher than that - it's absolutely nuts.

    I believe Filomena killed Seth Tobias. Everything points in that direction. I know in my heart that she did it. I believe in an after life. I know Seth Tobias and there is NO way he’s going to forgive or let Filomena get away with killing him. Seth’s mother deserve justice.

    Posted 2008-01-18 14:24:44 on Sure, A “Handbook.” Okay.

    Go on line to The New York Daily News, click on gossip, than click Rush and Molly. You can read all about the guy in the picture posted here. You can even leave comments on the Seth Tobias Murder Case. CNBC has been doing a lot on this you can go to CNBC and in the search box write "seth tobias'. It was on Anderson, Larry, Geta, MSNBC and I saw it on a few other places this past week. I think the police need to move there ass in Jupiter. There is a black widow lose it sounds like. She did try to kill her 3rd husband and husband 2 and 3 had restraining orders against her.

    the article above says "MBIA revealed that it was making a $3.3 billion mark-to-market adjustment in it’s CDO portfolio, meaning that it estimates that it’s CDO portfolio’s value fell by that much in the past quarter." This couldn't be more wrong. the M-T-M adjustment has to do with the fair value of their insured CDS portfolio related to CDO / CDO of ABS, etc. That number will go to ZERO as the exposure runs off (this is a temp adjustment to their books). Writedowns have to do with the value of the security, eg, if it is expected to pay back less than 100 cents on the dollar, then you writedown the value

    a really stupid way to raise money?????.......last year in Australia and New Zealand the campaigned raised $8.5 million. Prior to Movember the most the prostate cancer foundations had ever raised in those countries in a year was $600,000. Tell the 27,000 American men and their families that die from prostate cancer its stupid idea.
