    @20/Tax Chick I fall in and out of love all the time. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've fallen in love as many as six times before breakfast.

    @27/EZ2517 "Work for a wealthy English eccentric, valuing exotic assets?" It depends on what she looks like and what your definition of exotic is.

    @2 No, I haven't been beheaded. I needed the week (Saturday and all) and Anal_yst was gracious enough to offer to write.

    "@william r - why didn't you include the article from the post re the latest revelations about the junior money honey at cnbc and her betrothed (who also happens to be her boss)?" I'm in denial.

    @5/@6 article intimates that the money was due in January - I didn't look up the issue for details. @6 It was a joke.

    @9 That's a great question. When oil was at $147 we were looking Demand pull inflation (well, and greed) -- but it was a market driven move. There's too much going on right now, with too many people pissed off -- and if OPEC cuts production it's going to be seen as spite, and the politicos will be more likely to act. I'm not saying they will, but I wouldn't rule it out in this climate.

    @12 Chill. Actual numbers have only only met or exceeded Consensus on the positive side three times in the past year: months 05, 06, 08. The consensus numbers are pure Academic BS, traders/analysts should have actual numbers marked into prices.

    @1 I'm not Bess: she looks much better in a skirt than I do.

    @5 Yeah, I don't know that I have much faith in the $200MM target. @3 LEH didn't have the consumer assets via banking that Citi does. For Citi to fail at this point (now that the government is actively intervening) would destroy confidence in the banking sector.

    I don't have anything to do with Daniel Harrison, champ.
