    many of us thought that Anglo-Saxon investment banking GREED

    led to the financial crisis

    in reality

    it's more a case of Anglo-Saxon IDIOCY, STUPIDITY, ARROGANCE

    and

    UTTER

    INCOMPETENCE

    an almost childlike belief in your own fairy-tales

    now

    a bunch of (probably , City based, English ) investment bankers at JP Morgan

    have started using the SAME QUANT MODELS they use in every day investment banking work

    to PREDICT who will win the World Cup

    guess what the results are ?!

    the EU, China, India, Russia, Brazil and the rest of the non-Anglo-Saxon world should

    REFUSE to ever use an ENGISH, AMERICAN.... banker again

    You do realise that Deutsche Bank was one of the biggest contributors to the collapse of the economy

    http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,638732,00.html

    Easy to blame the English and the Americans whilst conveniently forgetting your country's largest bank was piggy backing on the risk taking investment strategies in order to fill it's own pockets.

    As for the quant model predicting the World Cup winner - yes it is amusing, never trust a banker Laughing

    bernd

    contrary to what you may believe

    the VAST MAJORITY of Deutsch Bank INVESTMENT bankers

    are NOT deutsch at all

    but rather Anglo-Saxons, operating out of London and NY

    in fact, the top DB earner had been an London based Indian for a long time

    the Germans tend to do the boring stuff in Frankfurt

    they are simply too honest for the devious Anglo-Saxon stuff

    Fun? Fun? We are not in this world for fun. The thought of it. Don't you realize what has to be done? The street would go unswept. The children would wilt undisciplined. Cars unwashed. To work at 5.30 am. There simply are not enough hours in the day to grasp that nettle you call fun. Next you want us to enjoy sex.
    Gosh is that the time? I'm of to the pub.
