Mean Street: What to Do When You Have Nothing to Do on Wall StreetPosted on Sep. 6, 2008 at 4:55 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - Link
Forgot your username or password? An up-to-the-minute take on deals and deal makers. Gift-Card Holders of the World, Unite! How slow are things on Wall Street? It’s the worst IPO market in five years. M&A activity is at a crawl. The Dow just fell back into a bear market. And for three days, I‘ve racked my brains to fabricate a connection between Sarah Palin and Wall Street so I won’t have to write another piece about Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Like everyone else on Wall Street, I’m desperately trying to do something when there is precious little to do. That can be hard work. You need a strategy. Here are four of them for a banker to cope with dull days on Wall Street. Strategy #1: The Waterboy: When there is little going on with outside clients, the smart banker turns to inside clients — his boss, his boss’s boss and other powers that be — and volunteers for anything and everything as the Waterboy. You need someone to draft a memo on c...

It bothers you,” Mitchell said. Posey said he is hurt when he sees a fellow student in an Ohio State uniform. I know you were born and bred with that, but still,” Posey said. “In high school you didn’t root for another high school. You bled your high school colors; why not bleed your college colors? You pay thousands and thousands of dollars and don’t want to root for your team? Cornerback Idris Lawrence is one of a number of Bobcats that grew up in Columbus. You can’t expect fans to be on our side,” Lawerence said. “Ohio State is No. 3 in the nation. Lawerence, though, is more of a rarity than a rule on the team. We’re playing division I football just like they are,” tight end Andrew Mooney said. “You know the entire student body is going to be watching with a lot of other people. This game is more than just trying to beat the No. 3 ranked team in the country for many of the Ohio players. Any time you get to do something like this we’re trying to take ...

Mpls./St. St. Ohio State University football coach Jim Tressel has received a $1 million-plus a year raise on the eve of the Buckeyes’ season opener Aug. Tressel has agreed to an amended contract that will make him the highest paid coach in the Big Ten conference, said a release from the university Friday. He will also receive annual pay increases of 3 percent to 4 percent under a contract that will run until Jan. Five other college football coaches were known to make more than $3 million last season, according to the Wall Street Journal. One of them, the University of Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz, coaches in the Big Ten. OSU’s release said Tressel’s new agreement has updated language in a number of other areas, including youth summer camps, jet hours for recruiting and personal use and termination-for-cause provisions. Tressel will begin his eighth season as OSU’s football coach Aug. 30 when the Buckeyes ho...

Lockdown in St. Obama-Biden — Osama bin Laden: A Coincidence? Conformity: A Destructive Communal NeurosisE.R. The Soft Surge: Opening the Gates of Hell in PakistanM. DON’T BLAME NEOCONS, BUSH AND COPS !! William let’s go with this strange thing. A Los Angeles Times editorial observed last month that China had persuaded world leaders to attend the Olympic Games “despite their misgivings about Beijing’s horrific human rights record both domestically and abroad”. Needless to say, no mainstream British or American journalist referred to the host nation’s “horrific human rights record” at the time of the US Games in Atlanta in 1996, or of the Los Angeles Games in 1984. And of course no media outlet has discussed “misgivings” about the awarding of the 2012 Games to Britain. But why on earth would they? Since 1945, rather than occasionally deviating from the promotion of peace, democracy, human rights and economic development in the Third World, B...
