Yeah, it could certainly happen again.
“Is this the first intramarital spat on the OT??? And this on Day 2??? What should we expect when the “OT honeymoon” is over???”
Naah, DIBS… not really a spat, more of us giving each other a hard time. We do that far more than we argue.
D-Cat, I wrote that more as an admonition rather than a prediction. It seems that in our corner of the world — commodity derivatives trading — there is more transparency in terms of identifying levels of risk now and requirements for reserves and restrictions on trading with bank’s proprietary funds. So I guess you are staying away from Money Center stocks…..
Donatella, I have less love for cops and most of the time, their lives aint on the line. Plus they can chill. Not so with firemen
FINALLY, some intelligent spending out of Washington…..
Pentagon Boosts Commando Role in Hunting Terrorist Weapons
Feb. 23 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. Defense Department is increasing funding and expanding the role of elite commando units assigned to detect and neutralize weapons of mass destruction, according to budget documents and an official.
The Pentagon proposes spending about $579 million in its fiscal 2012-2016 plan on commando “counter-terrorism technologies†to “detect, disable, interdict, neutralize and destroy chemical, biological and nuclear production, storage and weaponization facilities,†according to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
Requested funding is increased from $59.6 million in fiscal 2010 to $102 million this year and $117.7 million by 2016, according to agency budget documents prepared for fiscal 2012.
I think the description leaves it pretty open ended to go anywhere in the world.
“Are you supposed to just talk amongst yourselves at a strip club though? Like, “Oh, I see naked hot women all day long, this atmosphere is totally normal to me.”
jester,
The boobies tend to lull everyone into a calm stupor.
Add some beers and the money starts flowing.
End of liquidity crisis. :o)
donatella,
I agree about the ugly consequences, Argentina is one example and Yugoslavia another financial collapse. That nation no longer exists.
“What happened, really cannot happen again.”
i give it 10 years before some other bubble is created and they do it ALL over again.
shit – we’re still propping up real estate prices with these low interest rates. how come people get to take out mortgages at 4% but I’m paying 18% on my credit cards?
I resent firemen because all the women think they are cute.
