Quote from THE-BEAKER:

the picture of the this guy here looks like someone has just grabbed his arse.

he looks like a complete fag anyway.

i take nothing away fron the fact he is a successful hedge fund manager and worth a cartload just wanted to point out the obvious.

he looks like a turd burgler

perception IS reality!

perhaps even accept greater regulation.

Ya think?

Ken is as stoic as they say. Ann is a gem, but perhaps a bit restless. Both have occupied minds you might say, but what do you expect in this business and those kind of chips?

Ken has lawyers and he likes to use them...everything is negotiable.

Quote from makloda:
.. Griffin wants the government to require the use of exchanges and clearing houses for credit default swaps and derivatives.

This is the key requirement. This view is not confined to Kenneth Griffin. It should have been worked out for CDO's. I have regretted the absence of open liquid markets for all of these new instruments since their inception.

We have seen these whiz kids fall on their own sword sooner or later.

This guy can not fuckup like all the others?

The housing bubble was the fault of many. Mozilla is a slimball prick. The I-banks used old data to peddle new products with the outdated risk model.

Give enough time the financial industry implodes quite often.

Griffin is not any different than anyone else. Give him time.

Uh, I have to humbly disagree with this statement. This guy to me is in the same category as Warren Buffett. He's pretty young
and makes few mistakes. Remember Mr. Buffett was willing to bail
out LTCM on the cheap. I have no idea the interest in etrade?

E-Trade was about preserving/boosting option/equity order-flow. Prices paid on the credit book was not ugly as everyone suggests. Lastly, BlackRock participated in the capital raising as well.

Keep the good times rollin!
