CITI NATIONALIZED
OBAMA GETS SICK 27AUG09:
Mini Crash 21SEP09 Predicted correctly:
Bailout=Bonuses
Demise of Bear Stearns
Demise of Lehman Bros.
Demise of AIG
Subprime would cause problems
Date of 2007 crash
CRAs were to blame
G20 riots were a party
Northern Rock run
Northern Rock Nationalization
HBOS and RBS demise
UBS really was Useless
So Goldman, JPM et al who were saved from bankruptcy have lobbied Obama to avoid comp caps and instead thrown BoA, ML and AIG into a cesspit where country club membership will be banned and a few top earners will not get paid. Savings? I reckon less than 100m. Pathetic.
I am therefore on strike.
###19NOV09 Update### For the next few months I shall be blogging on fintag.blogspot.com. Having decided I need to go to the gym 6 days a week to keep my six pack as hard as rock, I shall be blogging about the current shocking state of the financial media's reporting of the impending world end when the news warrants it.
Please use fintag.com as a history lesson until I come back from the gym.
For those who thought Finbar Taggit had done a Belle de Jour, you will be pleased to know I am not a scientist. I am a hedge fund manager who is between hedge funds. My new venture will be launched early next year and shock horror may well be a private equity venture.
If you cannot beat them, join them...

Cringeworthy teacher's pet aoab, the boring tool, is back. Was hoping someone had slaughtered that dog. His own cruddy blog not updated for weeks. Still no comments.

@15.12 as you seem interested in my activities...well I decided to study for some exams, but then got offered a role on a trading desk at a IDB, seems like having GS and JPM contacts does pay off.

A 'role'. Getting the coffees in for the real traders. I take it you failed your first set of ACA exams?

@anon 12:29 what about the "oh-so convincing" imaginary babes suddenly exchanging text messages on aoab's site instead of their mobile or other social media sites. @13.54 gmt. aoab obviously hasn't started work yet.

AOAB you are a pathetic, deluded sociopath. You make up commenters on your blog that says nothing and congratulate yourself. Don't you get it? You are a fool, a serious stupid fool and should be put down forthwith.

If you want an expose of the shenanigans on a IDB desk...keep reading. If not don't bother...expect the first instalment out soon

Thanks you idiot but I think you'll find except for your pretend friends..Chris?? that nobody wants to read you. Fool
Read that fool aoab's blog. As much as he annoyed me, must say his new post is quite good

@Anon 19:17 I agree. No obvious spelling errors. Held back on using word/phrase… Mint …Hit by Wall of Money. He’s not the Sucker in the wolf pack… for sure. I want to be him.

aoab - writing two posts here pretending to be someone else is still not convincing. You posted as "2nd prize" a while ago. Tool. Just give up with your blog - nobody is ever going to read it except to laugh at what a muppet you are.

It’s a fact: if you want your website to make you money, generate leads or get subscribers you have to advertise in order to drive traffic to it. Of course this is true for any business, but it is absolutely essential for online business. www.onlineuniversalwork.com
