Wall Street Really Needs Relief

2008_10_bluebull.jpg

It has not been a good time on Wall Street, and now it's gotten even lower. Reader Adalis writes, "Someone spray painted the Wall St. Bulls balls blue. It was gone in a few hours, but I snapped some quick pics."

  • Indeed, the painter is great. Nice joke! The reputation of Wall Street Bull seems to be in danger. Besides, as for me blue doesn't suit him. Don't you think so? Anyway, it is a sign of people indignation, I think. Current financial situation is so unstable that common people worry about their property which is mostly get with the loans. Consumers can hardly manage their budget due to high payments, taxes and other daily expenses. The prices increase and the salaries are remained the same. Soon there will be no opportunity for people to live well and such conditions will make them look for financial support.

    Next thing we'll see is the Statue of Liberty holding up a barrel around her torso.

  • Over the years, certain elite persons associated with Wall Street have become famous. Although their reputations are usually limited to members of the stock brokerage and banking communities, several have gained national and international fame. Some earned their fame for their investment strategies, financing, reporting, legal or regulatory skills, while others are remembered for their greed. One of the most iconic representations of the market prosperity is the Charging Bull sculpture, by Arturo Di Modica. Representing the bull market economy, the sculpture was originally placed in front of the New York Stock Exchange, and subsequently moved to its current location in Bowling Green.

    Bernard Madoff is not a popular man. Bernard Madoff, once the Wall Street wizard that sat atop the NASDAQ exchange, has pled guilty to running a Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors of $50 billion. He refused to accept a plea bargain that would have forced him to reveal anyone who assisted him, but he wasn’t interested, which lead some to believe he is protecting his wife, Ruth Madoff. Regardless of his motivation for not accepting a plea deal, or if he did act alone which is unlikely, prosecutors are seeking a sentence of up to 150 years in prison. There is a high degree of probability that Bernard Madoff will not end his days in the comfort and opulence that his grand theft afforded him.

  • woodendesigner

    Now that was a brilliant idea. I think it should be a permanent fixture. Different colors for different market moods. Kind of like like the terror threat colors.

    Maybe the Treasury Dept. can commission a cow to help bail out the bull and relieve his blue balls.

  • Kojak
