I work with people like this and I got hammered everyday....i made decisions to leave
It figures a good looking woman who made something of herself and the idiots have to come out and hassle her. I see a really great looking woman who I'd be peroud to be seen with, I only wish I could meet a woman as beautiful and as smart as that, That would be a dream come true.
ummm....why does a NY Governor on a trip to DC have that much cash with him? Where did it come from? Who provided the intro to these hookers? And, what wife would stay with a man who pays that much to some hooker? I see indictments, divorces and irs questions all looming for the guv'nor! Considering there are so many slutty women who would do this for free, how sad he had to pay! So many questions, so few answers.
1. Most municipalities have the added ability, which most corporate borrowers dont have, of paying off debt by simply taking money from their constituents.(Oopppss, I mean raising taxes.) And if the constituents dont like it, they simply take money/property away at the point of a gun. 2. maybe muni traders simply arent that smart because their boss realizes its almost impossible for a political entity to walk away from debt. See above for rationale.
A Primer On How The Latest Credit Freeze Got All Frozen
@11.55 guest - My experience is that folks who hold themselves out as experts from working on "trading desks" tend to be back office slugs, or more likely unemployed clerks.
What a sad commentary about how big corps treat people.
Stop making lame-ass comments about people being in awe of prop traders. Didn't anyone notice that his margin calls got bigger and bigger and that there was no cash coming in? Oh right , with bank accounting its not cash, its mark to mkt. What a fucking joke, any other business would be bankrupt and put out of its misery by now.
so, all powerful masters, what is a 7,000 room hotel in las vegas worth if nobody cares?
If she has health issues her plan doesnt address, is she really fit enough to be out campaigning? Shouldnt she be home resting?
imho, I think the AIG story has real legs and for some unknown reason, to me anyways, no one is screaming about it. We need names, locations and rumors.
@anal_yst -- technically, those folks you mention do the most dick as they have the most time off.
How great would it be if the Fed RAISED rates like 100bp just to stick it to the banks/brokers etc and to lower co-op prices on park Ave?
The best part of GS layoffs, is that it means the gawd-awful 2nd and 3rd tier banks/brokers etc will fire even more people now!! The argument is that if GS cant make money, how can they? If any hot chicks got laid off though, let me know. I am very understanding.
who cares? more dopey bank traders sent back to iowa.
With all these genius bank traders, lets bet which bank will be next to disclose they failed to notice a $7 billion dollar margin call being made.
Nobody cares about second rate banks exiting trading/sales. All second and third tier banks think they are the balls of the investment universe, but really, truly they suck at trading. But...if any hot chicks got laid off and need a place to stay, let me know. I'm very understanding.
With April 15 not too far away, maybe H&R Block can hire Deloitte's ex-employees.
Isnt the bigger problem that most on wall st type jobs lack the education/experience to go run a real company like GM? Drag an IB into a home depot and see if he knows what all those tools do....
You trust the FDA? On another note, re Asian mkt comment above, do you mean 'cue'? I've never heard of someone taking the queue, perhaps getting on a queue...
Funny about how the banks play this shell game with losses - almost any other corp would be in chap 11 or closing up shop with these size losses. I guess citi is TOO large to fail, beeyatches
