@Risky Business It's not just Ops there. There's so much more to 111 than just stupid Ops people. Show some respect for the rest of the tenants in the building. There's the cafeteria.

http://gawker.com/5054879/5-reasons-this-depression-really-is-going-to-be-fun "If you are a capitalist, Warren Buffet was your hero when you were, like, eight. By the time you started your first private equity internship or whatever you were more like "Ah, Buffet, sentimental old sucker, making his money the hard way like that." Why? Because Warren Buffet made $62 billion over a six decade career investing in real companies over the Very Long Term, and that is just so unnecessary when you can make like at least a billion dollars in like a year just by taking a 20% fee on some money you got from rich folks plus a whole lot more money you got to borrow from banks at superlow rates, and throwing all that into some algorithm whereby the money makes a gazillion trades a day on some supercomplex financial instruments made up by bankers who got bored of collecting fees splitting up and re-packaging the weary pieces of the American economy and in any case, now you somehow make a half penny on the dollar every time some ratio goes below pi and none of it requires any entanglements with companies that actually produce stuff at all (thank god because that would be awkward.) Well, putting all that money through all that pointless action was not for Warren Buffet. Not because he worries about detachment from labor or any of that Marxist crap, but because it actually did just seem so pointless. (Buffet once said of gold: "It gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.") Anyhow, so all this madness goes on for a few decades, generates a little "liquidity crisis" and suddenly Goldman Sachs has to become a real bank, which basically means the Smartest Richest Most Elite Motherfuckers on Wall Street are forced to sit acknowledge the existence of the Actual Economy. Put a wonkier way: Exchange Value, Meet Use Value! And Buffet sees that investors are worried about this, but he knows it's a good plan for the Long Term everyone laughed at him for caring about, so he plows $5 billion into it at supergood terms and suddenly everyone's like, "Damn, that Buffet, he really is pretty smart." And smart turns out not to be incompatible with good!" WOW Bess, go work for Gawker - between your wet dreams for O^3, the fact that you actually understand all those stocks and bonds and derivatives and other formulas that make you a penny every time the ratio goes below pie, and the fact that you're not retarded would make you the best writer there. Also, then I'd never have to read something like that.
What is going on with FNM? Stock is all over the place...
He suspended his campaign, not just the debate
I hope you give out the condoms before services are rendered, otherwise it kinda defeats the purpose
Every single analyst has some spreadsheets that tells them what their rating should be. The fact that she uses math to do this is about as novel as a bird using a statue as a bathroom. She made a prediction, it worked out. I'd be more impressed if she had said from the beginning that the banks have toxic mortgage-related assets which will need to be written down, not just "SHITTYBANK AND WACKYBANK ARE BAD!"
Wonder if the Charles Tyrwhitt store is going to become an Old Navy...
These "shorters" are playing a very dangerous game You don't screw with the Jews, and you definitely don't screw with their most prized possession - their money. You know what happened to the last guy that tried to pull something like this? We got him nailed to some wood. What makes you think we'd do any less to anyone else?
MayDoes Offer Bridge Loan To AIG384/385 got his tips from TIMAlerts!
Dude "they have no idea that his 20k paper profit he made this year isnt even a drop in the bucket for any hedge fund or trading desk." Please tell me you don't think Carney and Levin don't know what funds and desks make every day. I mean, you've read this site before, right? The only reason they link to Timmay is because it's funny watching how retarded he is. If you don't like it, don't look. I laugh my ass off at every one of his posts, mostly because he's at the top of his earnings potential right now and he still isn't beating the guys one level above me. You, me and the rest of the readers here still have years of promotions, raises and fat bonus checks to come - Timmay's got nowhere to go but down and no skills to leverage to get out of it. In 30 years, when you and I are fighting to see whose G30 gets to take off first so we can take the trophy wives to Aruba for the weekend, Timmay will still be sitting at home on his computer trading penny stocks and selling his ideas to the people desperate enough to listen to them.

Liz Moyer says Merrill uncovered the accounting problems: "Reports Sunday say Morgan Stanley uncovered accounting methods....." So which is it?
"But, uh, who cares if Ken Lewis loses sleep over Google ego searches that return results all chronicling his firm's predilection for storing balls in its mouth?" BoA should use that when they fire him... "Ken Lewis has left Bank of America. We thank him for his hard work and dedication but no longer care if he loses sleep over Google ego searches that return results all chronicling his predilection for storing balls in his mouth"
Tim Sykes doesn't have a throne That's like saying someone is the new top hobo on Wall Street, replacing the crazy lady who screams "Handsome, can you help me get some foooooood?"
