Ok. Now I’m getting angry again. Stocks couldn’t maintain their early gains yesterday, and now they are getting buried early today.

Calling One President!
Well, it’s good to see the stock market moving up this morning. Not sure if it will hold, but I’m guessing it might. Saw some stat in various media outlets today that 98% of new retail money that has gone into the markets the last 30 months (i.e. The Great Recession), has been money intoBOND [...]
Have A Great Weekend.
Ahhhh, felt like the good old days this morning. Went out with a former client, now friend last night. Got destroyed, got on the ol’ 12:25am train…..get to my stop……and they DON’T OPEN THE F**KING DOORS IN MY CAR! I ran to the next car but the assholes were already pulling out of the station. [...]

How About a "Worked For Bob Rubin" Moratorium?
First of all, sorry for the lack of posts lately, although I was especially proud of yesterday’s little poster “Apply as Necessary”, courtesy of our pal Vince.
Weapons of Financial Destruction Indeed
Put this story ALSO in the category of “why isn’t this on the front page and buried somewhere else in the paper?”. In the “Business Briefs” section of the NY Post–which is more than I found anywhere else by the way-was this: “Berkshire Hathaway which has more than $60 billion at risk in derivatives, may [...]
