Occupy a high interest deposit account

    Seems like the cash generation arm of the American Ocuppy group did pretty well for themselves for a while back there.

    They should really invest all that money now that the bad times seem to he rolling around. I reckon they could probably get a decent return of 3% or 4% from one of the bigger banks. Maybe invest in some shares or would Italian bonds be the way to go?

    Any ideas after hours?

    (I like these guys and their stand against the capitalist cash obsessed society we are.......oh wait hold on a sec)

    Occupy Wall Street has taken in more than $665,000 in donations since it launched Sept. 17. Here’s the bad news for Occupy: Donations have fallen off a cliff, from a high of around $20,000 per day to a current low of just $98 on Dec. 13. The good news: The movement still has hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank, an impressive sum for an entity that has existed for a mere three months.

    That’s according to my analysis of newly available data on the finances of the movement’s New York arm.

    The spending data offers a glimpse into what Occupy has been up to and the direction it’s going, even as the mainstream news media turns its attention elsewhere.

    Here’s a look at Occupy Wall Street’s books, based on some quick calculations:

    I might suggest a slight alteration to your plan....

    Step 1. Buy $665,000 worth of shares in underpants companies
    Step 2. Steal underpants
    Step 3. ??????
    Step 4. Take over the world!!!

    It's cool, it just means they have some cash to replace all the medical supplies destroyed by the NYPD.

    And the books, the computers, camera's etc etc.
