Who is watching the news? Obama is about to deliver a statement in the White House briefing room. John King from CNN said that the announcement is about Osama Bin Ladin's death.

According to John King, the U.S has the body of Bin Ladin.

So what's next?

No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well.

Honestly, I don't bother posting much anymore because of cunts like you, but fuck you if you think Obama had jack shit to do with this.

Chalk this up to George Bush and him going after Bin Ladin. Obama has made it his presidency to blame everything on Bush. Well guess what, this is Bush's fault also and he should get all the credit.

And with that I am done with this post.

I would be interested to hear if it's confirmed that it was a US plane, because my country is a NATO member and there's speculation that it was one of ours.

Dude, shut the fuck up. While I'm with ANT on this that Bush deserves way more credit for this than Obama. I'm not going to get political with this. This isn't about politics, this is great day for ALL AMERICANS (and if you disagree you can go throw yourself off a bridge because you are a worthless piece of shit).

My one regret is that he was killed quickly with a bomb rather than having the slow painful death he deserved. If anyone saw the movie Law Abiding Citizen and how Gerald Butler killed the second guy who murdered his family then you know exactly what I would have done to him.....and then I would have fed him into a wood chipper feet first.

Like I already said, while this is good news for all Americans and I'm glad the f***ER is dead, this is a badly needed smoke-screen of an announcement for Obama's administration. Fundamentals haven't changed and you have more imminent issues at hand to deal with. I'm not going to party like it's 1999 just because he was "supposedly" killed this week. Who knows really how long he's been dead for.

This is going to be all over the MSM and it will be spun way out of proportion. Again, glad he's dead, but it's not changing anything. It's said he was killed in a mansion outside of Islamabad.

Islamabad? Are you fucking kidding me? If you've ever been there, you know what a small, sleepy, upscale and totally not like the rest of Pakistan kinda place it is. It's like the world's most wanted person was found in Aspen or the Hamptons. I mean, the Pakistanis had to have known this asshole was in their capitol city. This is crazy news. Pakistan has some explaining to do.

You think it's coincidence this was rolled out before NY opens up on Monday? While London and other markets are on a holiday? How about silver and gold flash-crashing just hours before this announcement?

    How much face time do you put in for your firm relative to how long you work?
  • I'm gonna start off by talking about myself a little bit. I'm 16 years old and I'm a junior in a high school in the suburbs surrounding NYC (Long Island). I come from a working class family where we get by, but things can get pretty tight at times. I really have a strong interest...
    16 year old Hedge Fund Manager
  • I've been bombarded lately by people asking me if I feel fulfilled with my job in finance, or how it helps the general public... trying to compare what I "give back" to what a doctor provides to society. When my answer is "well, nothing really," they want to ask how I can...

  • [quote=Project-Syndicate] At this time of year, at graduation ceremonies in America and elsewhere, those about to leave university often hear some final words of advice before receiving their diplomas. To those interested in pursuing careers in finance – or related careers in insurance,...
    ''My Speech to the Finance Graduates'' - Shiller
  • Someone asked me this earlier and it got me thinking. These days education seems so hard wired to graduate positions that it feels odd to even discuss education for education's sake. <strong>If degrees had no bearing on jobs and you had to get a degree, what would it...
    Dream Degree

    Dual Major vs. Dual Degree?
  • I'm 27 and have been working in a programming sense for the past 5 years. However, I have exactly no finance experience. My experience is with extremely massive data sets. Now normally it wouldn't be extremely difficult for someone with my background to work on Wall Street - working...

    Gaming Lodging Leisure Industry Ratios
  • Hey monkeys, From talking with people in the finance industry (especially IB, my interest) about recruiting, a specific motivation seems really important (ex: why banking? why GS S+T) to landing either an SA or FT spot. The problem is the same people who tell me most people are sick of the...

phantombanker's GMAT Study Guide
A week or two ago there was an article written about how your weight might inversely effect you during the hiring process. During the conversation I dropped some personal information about me losing 130 (now 135 pounds). I was PM’d by somebody asking me to tell my story. Well I have some free...

Hey guys, it’s been some time since I posted regularly on this site. That’s what happens when you start working in finance; you don’t have any time. So why am I posting? It’s because I am seeing an injustice being done to a lot of military guys (and gals) who are discovering they want to...

There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth at the close on Friday over the perceived lack of performance in the Facebook IPO.
