New Yorker in-joke.

The Wiz went out of business?!

But... but... nobody beats them?

 

[Zachary Ross]

No one beat them. They simply lost. You have to get your sports cliche right.

This is not a good day. 700 point intra-day move in the wrong direction.

It's a fucking bloodbath.

I'm emptying my retirement accounts to buy guns and ammo.

These are interesting times.

Dow -700 and counting.

Stamps. They keep their value.

 

[VLM]

You think McCain watched Idiocracy before he picked her?

Belgium. Might as well pick a place that has good chocolate.

Dow now below where it was on the day Bush took office. It took a lot of work, but he finally achieved it.

After 18 years in equities, I recently moved my TIAA-CREF to traditional annuity, which now that I think on it might very well be guns and ammo.

Sick joke.

**shudder** I remember NY in the Seventies. Pretty bad. I hope that wasn't considered a "Golden Age".

A partner at my firm said to us young ones at dinner the other evening, "Remember these weeks, because lots of things are going to change and these are exciting times for us all". Later, in a taxi back to the hotel, we constructed a series of hypothetical dominoes all the way to the Asia-Pacific region, and looking back on the past day, it feels like a kid has just run amok, setting off several collapsing chains at once.
