This paragraph cracked me up
“We have a simple thesis,” Eisman explained. “There is going to be a calamity, and whenever there is a calamity, Merrill is there.” When it came time to bankrupt Orange County with bad advice, Merrill was there. When the internet went bust, Merrill was there. Way back in the 1980s, when the...

BofA to Settle for $8.5 Billion
We all remember those cartoons we watched as kids. There would always be a scene that exemplified the tip of the iceberg. Usually some clown would holler in a mountain range causing an avalanche or something to that effect. The comedic high jinks which ensued were both entertaining and note worthy....

Banking Apps: Fad or Future?
I am quite comfortable with being a technophobe. I don't have anything against technology, but in many ways am still not sold that many recent inventions actually improve our lives. In more than a one respect, I think the myriad of techno-options available for daily exercise only add to unnecessary...

While the list is published in no particular order, BofA checked in at number 8 and was rated the worst bank...

Everyone has a part of their job that sucks , no matter how satisfied they are overall. When it comes to my work here at WSO , this is the part of the job that sucks.

Jim Rogers on China and BofA
Some days I feel like ranting about markets, some days I let other do my dirty work. Since I don't have the funds that Jim Rogers does, I can cash the ego bonus of him echoing my sentiments on a few key issues. The only bad thing about what is shaping up to be a beautiful day, is that I can't embed...
Putbacks: PIMCO, Blackrock, NY Fed Want a Mulligan
Remember how cool it was to get a do-over when you screwed up as a kid? Or how much you loved the teachers who just threw out your lowest grade of the year and didn't count it?

Biggest CEO Pay Cuts of 2009
Time to indulge in a little schadenfreude, boys. Lloyd Blankfein is used to seeing himself and his bank in the number one position, but I'm guessing he's not too happy about it this time.
