News comments:
We are lovin Greek bonds, Irish property companies and Tiger Woods' posters. We are struggling to work out what inside information actually is (if I dream it should I hand myself into the local police station?)

I bet you know some arrogant people. I do. Most of them used to work for Lehman. Whereas Goldman was doing God's work [Editor: small g perhaps?] Lehman believed they were God.

I am pleased to report that many of these ex Lehman traders who have started hedge funds have been unsuccessful. You see investors don't like punting anymore - no track record, arrogance and a lack of respect for your fellow human beings doesn't count for much in the 2010's.
