gDiapers: the early years...

Australian managing financial crisis well according to Timmy Geithner

Geithner gives Australian PM A+. 

Amen, Brother

Tommy Friedman on the money again. Euthanize GM and Chrysler and let's get on with the reset

Finally an explanation to the financial crisis that makes sense...

If only...

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago,it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00.

With thanks to Simran Sethi!

Back to the future...

If anyone wants to know what's going to happen on the Dow on Monday, take a look at what happened on the Aussie market Friday:The biggest one day fall since Black Friday in 1987. And that was after our Fed cut rates a full 1%. I was sitting in my final year of High School, in an Economics class no less when the market opened and down we went on that day.

The Aussie dollar, having been at parity with the USD just two months ago fell 20% in one day and back to 1983 levels. I wasn't even wearing big boy pants that year...

To my stockbroker mates at Nomura, hang on and if you'd like a career change into the exciting (and somewhat more stable) world of diapers, you know where to find me. Unlike the financial world, we get 4,000,000 new customers every year.
