I think I'm in the minority of people on this site that do not find DB funny or entertaining. The UBS Quant thing has been going on forever.
my motto for deal breaker: "come for the articles. stay for the comments".
Posting about Dealbreaker on WSO is the NKI
-UBS "Beat the Dead Horse" Quant [from Soviet Russia]
Meet me at Minetta's. Wear a Duffman costume with assless chaps so I know it's you.
but is there any explanation behind the UBS Quant?
I've never found that site funny or entertaining.
Love DB, and I read for the comments as well. I think working at UBS is the running joke around there because it's such a disaster.
They don't block dealbreaker at my workplace so I'm just happy I have access.
Favorite article has got to be the following about Kweku:

DB is awesome, especially after the addition of Matt Levine. Jon Shazar is subtraction by addition - that guy blows.
The UBS Quant thing is a long running joke about how UBS made a foray into structured products and complex derivatives in the mid-2000's and basically shat the bed because they didn't know what they were doing.
Matt Levine is a fantastic writer.
Dealbreaker is a go-to site about wall street. Almost everyone in finance reads, has read, or knows of dealbreaker.
The LSO comments were by far the greatest thing to ever hit the Wall Street blogosphere, you can't read them anymore for some reason (unless you use the wayback machine!)
Not a huge fan of DB, but the comments can be hilarious
The Most Bat Shit Crazy Thing I've Read on DealBreaker in a WHILE (Originally Posted: 11/25/2010)
Alright, I normally try to keep my DealBreaker and my WSO lives separate, but every once and a while I see something on DealBreaker so fucking nuts that I can't help but make sure everyone sees it.
It's discouraging to think that someone like this would frequent the same blogs that I do. As you read this, you just know homie is writing his email while wearing a helmet made of aluminum foil.
Bess Levin in da 'ouse!

Comment on the Dealbreaker Paul Enright landlord litigation story (Originally Posted: 08/12/2014)
Reading Dealbreaker's Paul Enright tenant-landlord litigation story I stumbled upon a terrific comment by a 'Guest' one day ago. This is one of the best, if not the best, fundraising letters I have seen lately.

apps for landline phones
20k for 6bn = 30,000,000% return, I'd take that any day
this is amazing
29,999,900% return. Not bad.
Looks like the ebolas have taken over the asylum.
