My friend Upside Trader (it’s awesome to have friends that you can trust that you have no idea what their real name is) has a great post up on life today – mostly financial – on ‘Things HE Can’t Friggin Believe ‘. Some of my faves:
That LEH, BSC, AIG, WB, FNM , FRE don’t exist anymore.
That Ben Bernanke still can’t say we’re in a recession.
That banks are hording $700 billion and sticking the consumer.
That people still listen to analysts.
That the analysts that upgraded Potash to a wicked crazy strong buy at 245 with a $355 target still have jobs.
That even now, NO ONE thinks outside the box.
That CNBC chuckles when Roubini or Decker come on as if they are mad.
That the same guy that lobbied hard for 40 to 1 leverage at Goldman now has all the keys to the hen house.
The Octabox
That everyone talks at the same tme while on the Octabox
That Jim Cramer still has people that call in and say BBBBBBBB-BOOYA
That Jim Cramer still has people.
Let me add a few:
That weed is still mostly illegal
Seriously, that weed is STILL mostly illegal…hash too.
That Zappo’s has to lay people off . I have lost total respect to their CEO Tony falling for the ‘public’ layoff meme. Count me as a lost customer.
That Mahalo raised $30 million of anything let alone cash
That the Cardinals are 5-3 this year (oh mama)
That Jay Leno hosts the Tonight Show
Please add your own and let’s get a good meme going if you like.
