For the junior guys, getting less would actually mean real hardship. Life in Manhattan and London is not cheap. Rent is astronomical, food costs twice as much and taxes on bonuses are paid at Nordic rates. When the sacrifices are factored in, unless you have a powerful sponsor who is willing to...

Thank you.

Does anyone know where I can download the historical price of crude oil? For foreign exchange, sources like www.oanda.com/currency/historical-rates work well enough but the commodities market is far more complicated.

It's happening again. This time it will be twice the fun.

Another RACIST PRICK.

RACIST PRICK.

Hong Kong will beat Shanghai hands down. When the Hongkies protest against falling living standards, the Chinese central government gives Hong Kong massive handouts. When the Chinese protest against desperate living conditions, they get beaten, tortured and sometimes even killed. it is all about...

In other words, the Hongkies ain't Chinks! Now is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Are you kidding me? Kevin Rudd speaks Chinese better than any Singapore politician. Now that is what I call a bridge.

Sounds like you dislike Hong Kong, I wonder why that is. Might it be that the Hongkies look down on what they regard to be uncouth Chinese? Money can only get you that far. After that, if you cannot walk the walk and talk the talk, you are just a bag of money to be fleeced. That is assuming you...

Wow! pitz has never had a real job but he owns a nicely restored Jaguar E-type and an early 1990s Oldsmobile. Do you think that he got all these nice toys because of the system he claims to have. You know, the one where he only has to work 20 minutes everyday to suck enough cash out of the...

Dude, even in the drug trade it takes more than 20 minutes of daily grind to make a living. Most people do not understand just how time consuming illicit drug trafficking and distribution really is. On the retail end, most drug dealers actually spend more time waiting around for junkies than...

It was never about having the correct degree but about having the requisite experience. Why else do you think people are whining and moaning about how their fancy certificate is worthless? Some industries like banking do have a heavy bias towards credentials, but even then it is usually limited...

The guy decides to limit himself and then tells everyone that he cannot get a job. He has to work in IT or engineering, doing work which he feels satisfies his egoistic desire to create. Look, if your chosen field is experiencing distress, the intelligent thing to do is to find some way to...
