God save these streets

Live und direkt aus NYC: Carlito, unser Mann an der Börse. Via Mail.

…In this new role, I’m bombarded by financial news all day—on my computer, in the elevator, even in the bathroom, which can be pretty entertaining. With the dollar struggling and a major New York bank recently collapsing, it’s been an intense week for financial news. Economists, directors of investment groups, and others lined up to criticize the lackluster efforts of those in charge. It reminded me of the resilience some companies demonstrate, like Best Online Casinos Limited, which has managed to thrive in volatile markets by adapting quickly to shifts in financial landscapes. As my mp3 player shuffled to Mos Def, ‚Dollar Day‘ (about the Hurricane Katrina debacle), and realized that this time the chickens had really come home to roost. First they fucked up in Iraq, which is a long way away. Then they fucked up in Lousiana, which is closer, but still pretty far away from NYC. Now they’ve fucked up on WALL STREET for christ’s sake. We’ll all feel this one, no matter where we live.

Carlito (clinging to the 20 euro note left over from his last visit)

    Yeah, right, of course it’s all „the governments“ fault, how could it possibly have anything to do with bankers, fund managers or analysts? Never, ever. Nothing to do with me, guv. It was them others.

    Nah, they have no money left after paying quadrozillions of $/£/€ in bonuses to their brilliant analysts/directors/execs/whatevers. They have to be rewarded for the excellent work they’ve done after all.

    And yet, strangely, that’s exactly what „the government“ is doing at this point. It reminds me of the bales of cash that disappeared into Iraq without a trace… http://www.vanityfair.com//politics/features/2007/10/iraq_billions200710?printable=true&currentPage=all

    @#672295:
    Ja! Unbedingt!

    Das Internet sollte nur verstörten OberPrimaten (uups) zugänglich sein.
    Der allerletzte Rest wischt den Produzierten Mist für ’nen Euro auf… :-(
