Aonghus von bismarck is going to get fired in the morning

The German stockmarket down 22% since recent high. Crazy days in the market. Frankfurt stunned. Waiting for the official response from aonghus.

US is also bizzare .... down 1000 followed by panic buying and rebounds. Weird, weird day.

JONJO THE MISER

Dow opened down nearly 1000 points has got back most of that back now, scalped a bit of it on the way up but boy you need nerves of steel to play the markets today cause you could get wiped.

It's all gone pear shaped since he threw away his brother's bag of droogs...

The lad's off his mind on riesling and mindfulness half the time. Be a couple of weeks before he cops.

Maybe he's a Pig. I mean a Bear.

And who da feck said the Chinese were a great bunch of lads?????

Perhaps he's still on gardening leave following that f#ck up he said he made a few weeks ago? Perhaps it's actually the absence of a bit of mindfulness that has caused this dreadful calamity.

RobbingBandit

He'll blame those dastardly Greeks like other sensible Germans have been doing all day.

I made a very costly mistake in work. A fundamental error of judgement that cost one of my clients a considerable amount of money, and has tarnished my reputation within the department, and indeed the organisation in general.

Although, there is always a backup plan :pac:

How concerned should we be? Is there any safe habour currency? Everything's in euros but I've got about $15 American and maybe £30 Sterling. How many hookers will that get in the coming post-crash wasteland?

I heard he had to pick up a new Tablet, so he might be a wee bit delayed in responding to you.

We are all fcuking broker than we already were due to the chinese finding out their money tree didn't grow and someone stole all the tea in China too.

A Chinese bubble has long been in the offing for anyone paying attention. The Chinese government haven't a clue what to do.

I think Australia will be sweating a little at the moment.

How can that be anything approaching correct? China has experienced 35 years of continuous growth while countries that adhere to neoliberal orthodoxy have boomed and bust.

China is neo-liberal too.
They care little for regulation, and are very lassaiz faire.
Companies do what they want. All that matters is that the commissars wet their beaks.

Plus, when a dictatorships continued survival predicates on saying its making GDP growth, that's what you get..... whether it's real or made up.

FloatingVoter

Wasn't Bertie himself out there recently giving economic advice. The poor 'aul Chinese obviously fell for the promise of boomier times.

It's not really. The vast majority of China's largest companies are publicly owned and managed. Neoliberal orthodoxy is all about privatization.

They do as they're told.

While China continues to develop capitalistic capacities, the party-state has increasingly tightened control of the economy and synchronized political and economic stratification – a tendency towards a centrally managed capitalism. Under centrally managed capitalism, the party-state commands the economy by controlling personnel, organizations, and capital in both political and economic arenas.

Have to admit, I like his turn of phrase and the way he describes the lifestyle he enjoys.

Mads Mikelsen should play him in a TV series. I can see it now...

I know this was opened in good spirits, but it's essentially a thread dedicated to attack a fellow poster here in After Hours which is not entirely cool.
