  • Barry Ritholtz Shreds Warren Buffet
    Sadly, I agree.  Buffet is at the front of the line when taking advantage of the socialism in the US of A.  Corporate socialism.  All the fun details here.

  • #1 Story on UK Telegraph website
    this is not financial but I thought interesting to share.

    It seems the Anglo Saxon model is screaming towards "Rome" . Title: No Respect, No Morals, No trust - Welcome to Modern Britain"

    Excerpt:

    Litter is annoying, but in the grand scheme of a society that has traded personal responsibility for blame transfer, it is little more than a pointer to a deeper malaise: the corrosion of deference in our schools, the abandonment of manners on our streets and, yes, the death of respect for civility and integrity. We are close to the point where ethical behaviour is regarded as an affliction to be pitied, a loser's burden.

    In a piercing summary of what has gone wrong, Britain's Chief Rabbi, Lord Sacks, concludes: "Concepts like duty, obligation, responsibility and honour have come to seem antiquated and irrelevant. Emotions like guilt, shame, contrition and remorse have been deleted from our vocabulary, for are we not all entitled to self-esteem? The still, small voice of conscience is rarely heard these days. Conscience has been outsourced, delegated away."

    Indeed it has. Individual wrongdoings are, increasingly, an issue not for those concerned, but the state, which dishes out rights in return for unquestioning obeisance. In place of self-restraint, we have installed an all-embracing culture of grievance. Culprits have learnt to claim victim status.

  • Goldman Sachs Posts 98.4% Win % in Q3
    Look just admit it; a super human race lives in Goldman Sachs and they somehow can find ways to only lose money 3 days in half a year.  Don't ask questions - it worked for Enron for years, it worked for Madoff, it should work for you.  Just admire their prowess and bow.
