    I would LOVE to be laid off. Free vacation in between jobs... it would only enhance my self-esteem. :)

    This is insane. Maybe I should start a blog about getting into college rather than getting into i-banking...

    Yup the sounds of analysts howling in the streets after receiving their bonuses will soon be replaced with poor analysts going hungry and not being paid...

    Thank goodness the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD war is over... what a silly battle. Digital is the way of the future anyway. Although who knows, this may help Sony in its fierce battle against the Wii..

    Believe they lay off the bottom 5% every year... or at least "review the performance of under-performers." Not all that shocking and still relatively light compared to layoffs at other banks.

    Well, the Yahoo news is actually a bit better than the 20% job cut they were originally reporting. Still, all things considered, market conditions seem to be getting worse by the day... wonder when we'll hit bottom.

    Amazing... talk about anger. People are always trying to blame someone or something for their problems, and Carlye is no different.

    Wow, you can get strip clubs for 3-5x EBITDA? That's amazing, no wonder they're rolling up everything in sight. They definitely need better-looking strippers though...

    I don't understand it. I have a friend who got into fin services stocks lately saying they were "undervalued" and a good time to buy since they'll rebound eventually. Maybe they will, but how do you know when we've reached the bottom? I think we have a lot further to go on the way down. Unless the government bribed me, there's no way I would have done this deal.

    Wow... will be interesting to see what happens outside the credit/bond groups. AKA whether all us bankers are going to lose our jobs. :)

    Happy New Year! Great posts all around. Will be interesting to see what happens in the first week of 2008... if the traditional "new year rally" doesn't go through as planned, will 08 bonuses and the market in general plummet? Hmm...
