I thought the Stefan Geens photostream was excellent. I also enjoyed the Murakami and Sausage Roll links. I’m trying to write a free verse poem incorporating all three links. Stay Tuned!
Felix:
Care to weigh in on Robert Rubin’s new job, and his description as an “éminence grise?” This term seems to have a few slightly different meanings. I wonder which one you’d prefer.
With all respect to the man, I possess a few different terms for Mr. Rubin. Citigroup dramatically increased the risk profile of their I-banking activities; perhaps not at his direct “direction” but he stood not in the way of progress. And with his weight, he might have altered that outcome.
Progress = top the CDO league tables for 2006-2007. Hoo-rah.
Murakami is perfect for Versailles. Now we just need to suggest some other installations of his work at historic French sites.
I recommend Hiropon at La Laiterie de la Reine in Rambouillet. Can anyone think of a good spot for My Lonesome Cowboy? The Elysee Palace?
Hahaha
Cramer’s top pick: short the lifeboats, go long Titanic!
You made me listen to Cramer and now my ears are bleeding! Not nice Felix!
