Holiday Stock Picks for the Unemployed Banker

Hey sumosama - sorry you got up on the wrong side of the bed today. This post is tongue-in-cheek, not really factual.

And the "jumping on the jobless bandwagon" doesn't refer to bankers - it refers to the general trend that unemployed college grads aren't actively looking for jobs right now. See the link and stats from the Economix post?

Anyhow thanks for reading!

Nice catch Old Rick - I did indeed make a typo, it should read "who will see more than $250,000 pumped back into their wallets." Whoops.

Thanks for the insightful comment as well.
