POPSMerrill Lynch Searching For Hitman I wonder if the conversation in the Merrill Lynch boardroom for the hiring of Blackrock CEO, Laurence Fink, went something like this: Suit 1: We're fucked. Suit 2: No, no, no... we're fucked . Suit 1: You know someone is going to have to take care of O'Neal. Head Suit: Yes, you're right. ( sighs ) Who do we know who can kill people? Suit 1: Google. Head Suit: No, no. Literally kill. With guns. Suit 2: ... Blackrock? Head Suit: Hmm... We could hire them, yes. That would take care of all our problems in accounting. Maybe even some of those sub-prime loan holders. Suit 1: ( points to the side of his head ) Take... care? Head Suit: Someone get me their number. Call Cheney and ask him. Do you think we should offer options in the package? Suit 2: ( looks down at quarterlies ) No. Cash.

POPSOil Industry's terminal illness becomes more apparent... Well, there is only so much oil, and we aren't slowing down are consumption even a little. I'd think that the coughing sputtering deaths of some of the smaller big oil companies is inevitable, being as how they aren't making any more crude. But everyone will panic, of course, and act all surprised in the market. *GASP!* You mean that there ISN'T ENOUGH OIL to support the industry infinitely? SELL! SELL! SELL! Well, go on... go look at your portfolio. I know you want to.
