The Ebay link to the Voodoo Doll is gone…shame! Mr. Robertson must have complained.
I’m not surprised the bankers don’t know about underlying causes. The circle of finance is accountants->economists->Financial guys-> Economists. The accountants have the data, the economists make predictions off it, the finance guys make money off it, the accountants record it all and start the process again. You got detail people, big thinker people, and crazy aggressive trader people. Why would a trader really care why things are? That’s why he hires accountants and economists!

“Don’t Get It” means “have the temerity to continue to make their case, even after the almighty Felix Salmon has told them that the decision is made, and that they are to bend over and take it.”
Wow, that “goodwill impairment charge” came at Neenah like a bolt out of the blue.
