  1. I see a risk that this bowl of beans is going to cause me some issues… The banks are not done fucking us over.
  2. That’s my plan! I’m leaving here horizontally, hopefully not anytime soon.
  3. What is criminal is that the CS bond holders are the ones taking a haircut here, they should be ahead of equity but the Swiss basically said fuck foreign bond holders. Waiting to see what other debt is actually not senior.
  4. CS has been an animated corpse for years. The whole Swiss bank as a safe haven myth is garbage, they were one of the worst risk takers out there. Once the Saudis said they weren’t putting more B money in it was over. I just saw Pimco taking a 350 million write off this morning on CS, lots more are coming.
  5. Yeah the surprise visit of the Japanese is a calculated insult to China, and is fucking awesome. This really is lining up as a good guy versus bad guy alliance. We haven’t had one of those in a long time. Maybe Korea. I don’t count Afghanistan.
  6. IBRX with the cattiest of dead cat bounces to 1.6. Just because I can’t help myself with stupid bets, I bought a little bit of FRC. Could go to zero, but worth a little gamble.
  7. Everyone always talks their book. It’s just become way more obvious.
  8. Jeez can we keep BTC and fiat money out of this thread at least? There is a tiny segment of the population interested in crypto but just like gold and silver it should stay in its niche. I have a bad feeling that inflating our way out of debt isn’t going the way policy makers thought it would. Maybe we’re caught in a little conundrum here.
  9. I could go to town on Gattis back in my 20s. That’s a no from me now, dog.
  10. That’s a hell of a company killer resume.
  11. Source? I’m aware of China and a few others but who is buying all the debt being issued? I think you may be exaggerating just a bit. Edit: yeah the purchases by foreign buyers have stayed basically flat, with us banks picking up the slack (as is the Fed). That is not offloading which is a silly statement.
  12. Not quite. If he becomes half the player Timmy was he’ll be in the NBA.
  13. Is Fazoli’s or Cici’s still around? Disgusting food at both. At least most chains have something safe on their menu. I had a McDonalds burger the other day for the first time in probably 10 years and it was the same as ever. Not good, but enough to tide me over. I thought that was the point of junk food.
  14. I was chuckling thinking of Vincent van Rockefeller and Claude Morgan.
  15. I think the Swiss regulators are twisting their arm to do it. The fallout from SVB is going to reverberate for a while but CS looks like a different matter. It was a little funny that Saudi caused this issue by refusing to give them any more money.
  16. No the best part is that they’re in a boring genre (pop punk), and they’re a middle of the road version of it. I mean, someone listens to nickel back willingly.
  17. I’m 50 and Blink 282 has always sucked, but that’s how you do this thread.
  18. Wow that was fun watching aggy get slaughtered. Almost as fun as watching the horns kick the shit out of tooth paste.
  19. Same as it ever was. Kleptocracy moose out front should have told ya. Every one of these crises has ended up with the industry more regulated for a while. Then they buy legislators, wait for the outrage to die down, and deregulate while their minions in Washington let them run wild. Fucking banks.
  20. Truth sometimes has to be in your face. Anyone defending this piece of dick should take a hike and go root for Ole Piss.
