#356 Rpatrick,

Maybe they got dumped by the trophy wife? As john says, when you run out of cash at the casino, they tell you to move away from the table

That protect the “talent” argument is complete bs. There’s plenty of “talent” unemployed on Wall Street. Where are we afraid these clowns are going to run off to if they don’t get a bonus? Coffee dates with their unemployed brethren? Yoga class? F ‘em!

HEHEHE: the Red Bank Starbucks was a mope fest of suit & ties….they took most of the chairs….two guys said they were going to crash the Educators Convention at Harrah’s in AC today…whatever that means….

I’ve had a few friends and family members tell me in the last month they are seriously looking at leaving NJ, maybe even the US. Are we finally past the denial stage and are about to enter the next circle of hell?

bairen-it-all: when the shoe shine guy says he’s moving to Canada, you know we have reached a bubble of anarchy….

Just bogus. The king of the shorts. Yet, when they are taken to the wood shed, the hypocrites offer toasters. Let’s increase the size of TARP.

“Traders cited unconfirmed speculation that Goldman may have been affected by the jump in Volkswagen shares today after Porsche SE began buying the stock. Trading in Volkswagen, Europe’s largest carmaker, is under investigation by the German financial-markets regulator after Porsche triggered a fourfold increase in the shares over two days.”

“There’s speculation that Goldman was involved in the Volkswagen trade,” said Michael Nasto, senior trader at U.S. Global Investors Inc., which manages $5 billion in San Antonio. “Fundamentally, there’s nothing else that we see that would be a reason why this stock is down.”

#345 I think we’d have to defer to John’s expertise on that one. Don’t forget the hookers too.

A building full of cokeheads and junkies couldn’t blow that much dough in the same amount of time.

Why shouldn’t Citi employees receive bonuses? They only lost $2.8B in the 3rd quarter and over $20B for the last 12 months. You have to have real talent to be able to blow thru that kind of dough.

Remember, the majority of bonuses, paid out last year were in the form of RSU’s/Options. Not worth the paper that it’s written on.
