Citi to lay off 45K.......Kim screws up.......

So will Stephen Kim be amongst the 45K wearing sandwich boards and saying...'Hey buddy, can you spare a dime?'

It wouldn't be like......senior management listen to his housing growth projections when deciding to underwrite all that mortgage debt. Would it???

Anybody remember this one???

"Wall Street Shuffle"


Do the Wall Street shuffle
Hear the money rustle
Watch the greenbacks tumble
Feel the Sterling crumble

You need a yen to make a mark
If you wanna make money
You need the luck to make a buck
If you wanna be Getty, Rothschild
You've gotta be cool on Wall Street

You've gotta be cool on Wall Street
When your index is low
Dow Jones ain't got time for the bums
They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets
They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime
But you ain't got the time
Doin' the....
Doin' the....

Oh, Howard Hughes
Did your money make you better?
Are you waiting for the hour
When you can screw me?
'Cos you're big enough

To do the Wall Street Shuffle
Let your money hustle
Bet you'd sell your mother
You can buy another

Doin' the....
Doin' the....

You buy and sell
You wheel and deal
But you're living on instinct
You get a tip
You follow it
And you make a big killing

On Wall Street

"In October, Kim ... shocked the industry when he upgraded builders including Centex, Pulte and Lennar to buy from hold"

Let's see, October, November .... hey, that's just 1 month ago he said that!

I guess Citi and their best clients are done unloading the shares, and I doubt many are buying. Basically there was a stare-out between the retail shorts and the institutional investors, and guess who won?

What poor shmoes are stuck with these HB's in their portfolios still? - it's bound to create some eye-popping losses on somebody's statements ...

The best thing about the Housing Bubble is - it's demise is pulling the financials and thus the entire market down, as was predicted by many over 2 years ago.
