thanks, OkraMan... great title by Noland
"The Trials and Tribulations of Speculative Finance"

worth reading in its entirety
here is a clip that caught my attention:
How the Fed has grossly mismanaged this unfolding fiasco goes directly back to historical revisionism of the overriding causes of the Great Depression. We have never doubted that the answer to financial and economic ills would not be found with more Credit. We are now witnessing why.

I had a brief conversation with a WashDC-based headhunter
he helped me last autumn2001 in attempting to find a job back in the "Hub of the Universe", Boston
he had a few things to say that confirm the struggles

"no leads for statisticians, Jim
no leads for marketing research generally in the entire NorthEast
furthermore, I am struggling to stay in business as a recruiter
I have placed only a couple people in the last several months"

when headhunters go out of business, times are especially tough
I stay put in The Big Pitt with my current firm
and await resolution of the greatest financial speculation in the history of mankind
I love colorful phrases
this is no exaggeration
