Unprofessional to want to be like Slouch

Or so someone emailed me - undoubtedly without understanding our community; didn't even catch the drift that I was having some RBC fun. So I replaced my Slouch picture with something more professional. Hope you like it!

So It’s such a pity that the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey (MEOS) survey completely misses the point for China.

Review: Google's HTC Dream phone -- That's it?

By Bonnie Cha and Nicole Lee

(CNET) -- It's been a little more than a year since Google Android was announced and rumors of a little device called the HTC Dream started to leak onto the Web.

The G1 does not support stereo Bluetooth, Microsoft Exchange, or video recording.

We think it's fair to say that the Dream stirred up as much anticipation and hype as the Apple iPhone, not only because it would be the first smartphone to run Google's mobile… Continue

FAS 157 and the Financial Crisis

William Isaac, FDIC chairman from 1978 to 1985 and now the chairman of a consulting firm that advises banks...rhetorically asked the participants [at a recent SEC panel on mark-to-market accounting] how the financial system could have come upon such hard times in under two years. "I gotta tell you that I can't come up with any other answer than that the accounting system is destroying too much capital, and therefore diminishing bank lending capacity by some $5 trillion," he asserted.… Continue

Does a Diversity Focus Perpetuate Racism?

"Advocates of 'diversity' are true racists in the basic meaning of the term: they see the world through colored lenses, colored by race and gender."

Read one person's thoughts here - be sure to read the comments too.

Why are there still $2 ATM fees?

According to the article, now that we have a share in pretty much every bank in America (to the tune of $1,785.71per taxpayer), why are we still paying ATM fees? So many banks still aren't in tune with the reality of the market - surly help, pens that don't work at the counter, ridiculous end-of-year bonuses - even spending millions of dollars to name sports arenas; we have "Citi Field" here in NY - at $20 mil or so each year!… Continue
