Oh My God….Make This Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony Stop!

Ok.  I thought I was done for the weekend until I made the brutal mistake of watching the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies with the family.  This may be the most boring thing I have EVER SEEN!  My 12-year old has passed out….stone cold!  The four year old is actually asking to go to bed!  That [...]

Sorry About Not Reporting on the ASF Conference

As some of you who are long time followers of the blog know we’ve had a lot of fun reporting from Vegas on the annual ASF (American Securitization Forum) conference the last few years. This is the one where all of the “industry insiders” (and outsiders) got together for a massive goat rope (technical term) [...]

Snow? Not Where I Sit

Had to make a quick trip down to Florida. Armed with the knowledge of looking on the internet for weather reports, I surmised on Monday that it would probably be best if I high tailed it out of NYC by Tuesday A.M. Got a reasonably priced flight too. I’m scheduled to come back Thursday evening [...]

"What Do I Know About Pork Bellies?"

In my “new” line of work I tend to have CNBC on a lot more than I used to.  Every time I hear or see this commercial I can’t stop laughing.  What could go wrong with trading commodities on your own?

A depression is when YOU lose your job!” While this is true, Jim Rickards was on CNBC this morning telling us what the real difference is. I like [...]

Now we’ve got the great prognosticator “Big D” delivering on his promise for a little basketball action while we wait for [...]

I Miss My Bonus…..But That’s About it.

Ahh, it's bonus time on Wall Street. Time has certainly flown by for me. It occurred to me that it has been nearly three years since I shaped up for the "big year-end meeting". Usually I was sitting across the table from some guy I thought was a complete D-bag (one time it was a [...]

Big Dick Is Ready for All Sports

Editors Note–Well sportsfans, its like Christmas for you football folks. Sunday is the best day of the year. I can’t even imagine what its like in Indy or New Orleans. Actually I can because I was with Big Dick inIndy 2 weeks ago when the roofalmost came off the Lucas Oil Field. He lost that [...]

Monkey Business Update(s)

We have just been informed by Pete Dominick’s “people” that Eric and I wont be going on to Xm/Sirius until 4pm eastern today. Something about Pete having to do an interview with Joy Behar at 3pm. Really? We are getting delayed for her? Oh millions of people watch her show “The View” every morning while [...]
