I thought about it but I figured it was going to be just as bad. Thanksgiving weekend is what it is, you know.

Also, hope everyone that took CFA part 1 in December had some celebratory brews over the weekend. Between that and watching the tigers stomp my dawgs, much to my chagrin, I'm sure a good weekend was had by all.

Having gotten out of the exam at halftime, I thoroughly enjoyed the entirety of the game.

Citi to lay off 4,500 workers:
LINK
Citi's severance would average about 89k ... That's not even backing out the "other costs related to the job cuts."
quote:
Facing stalling growth prospects around the globe, Citigroup’s chief executive, Vikram S. Pandit, said on Tuesday that the bank would lay off 4,500 workers in the coming months. Citi will also take a $400 million charge in the fourth quarter to cover the cost of severance and other costs related to the job cuts, which will reduce the bank’s work force by about 2 percent, to 262,500 employees, Eric Dash of The New York Times reports.

Think is mainly back-office and IB ops positions. Doubt they cut any client facing employees on the banking side.

As an accountant, color me jaded on the 400M severance charge. Ranks up there just behind a tax reserve revaluation in terms of general opacity and unpredictability.

Word round these parts via Citi Houston is associate traders in NYC got the axe on Friday and they're coming down this way next week.

You've got a lot of dead wood being purged right now across the industry. We've seen a good bit of strategic reorganization here lately.

The way it was described to me was that they are moving into less and less risk trades, so basically the people that are there to trade riskier stuff are effectively expendable now, and that's who's getting gone.
eta: Dude said they let go 10% of his office and moved a bunch of people from trading to marketing.

After about 8 months, I am finally out of credit card debt.
Paid my final balance of $724.34 this morning.
WOOOOOHOOOOOO

With the APR on credit cards, it always amazes how anyone gets into debt with them. With an average rate between 16-17%, I'd love to see the average net ROI for credit card companies. I would guess it's close to 13% or so. Pretty good return thanks to ignorant consumers.

Would like to commend the Houstonian helping to stimulate the economy via the broken glass theory last night. Your decision to break my passenger side window to steal a $30 vacuum cleaner and nothing else will result in a $275 economic injection into the struggling Houston economy.

If you think this is bad, you should take a stroll over to the local Pawn Shop.
