Watching the Market the last few days after the dire reports of Lehman Brothers, AIG and Merrell Lynch it occured to me that we don't get any good brokers jumping off buildings anymore. It's like today's sports athlete, they don't care nearly as much as the fans do.
They show very little emotion, only seem to play best when their up for a new contract is coming up and at the end of the day they walk away from their team and are probably forgiven of all their sins and handsomely rewarded by a new team. Look at Andruw Jones, this loser is batting about .169 this year after having been on track to be a hall of famer years ago and you just know he doesn't give a crap.
Dodger fans may want to shoot themselves but in the stock market world sometimes I wish that the brokers could only be so dedicated.
Good news is that the market was back up by about 150 point today, I guess you can talk a few real-estate brokers off the ledge now.
A few weeks of the Mike Francessa solo show and I'm about to head for a ledge. Somebody call Sid Rosenberg or Don Imus or Tony Kornheiser or anybody.. The big-guy needs a life vest.
Here's my new idea. They line up the brokers who have cost their investors the most money over the last 12 months down in wall street, tag-team them up with their closest broker from another firm in terms of losses (a Merrell Lynch guy and a JP Morgan guy for example), now tie their legs together for a three legged race and then send a bunch of bulls down Wall street and we can have our own Pamploma
Goodnight Canada
Following a replay of the Felix Jones kickoff return for a touchdown with audio from the Spanish-language call of the game, Tony Kornheiser said, 'I took high-school Spanish, and that either means 'nobody is going to touch him' or 'could you pick up my dry cleaning in the morning.'
He is so great.. i really hope that the PC police doesn't get on him for this.
Was just thinking the same thing about no bankers jumping out of buildings. I had been thinking that it was cos they now have reinforced glass but I prefer your idea!!!!
