Lol. As I've argued on your site, everything is rational. The large majority of Americans condone bonuses, otherwise, why would they allow BOA, Citi, and Wells to raise 60bil from the public? We should tax the homebuyers in the UK and US who decided to buy more house than they could afford, and who decided not to honorably repay their debt obligations! Good thoughts on the fund. Most likely gonna let it ride, and maximize return on effort (ROE)! Pls provide the occassional update in The Samurai Fund tab about MWW if u don't mind. @ Monevator – Shoot, you caught my “comrade” moniker! Lol. As I’ve argued on your site, everything is rational.

I'm a believer in free markets and I fervently hope the closest you get to communist in your life is a blogger who believes that after billions has been re-directed in direct State support and trillions in indirect fiscal policy to clean up their mess (and allow them to repay the TARP, which frankly even I could have repaid with a big bank and 0% interest rates at my disposal) the least the banks can do is not pay themselves the equivalent of 10-100 times the average annual wage in a bonus. For even one year! As for the fund and trading, I think you'll find it unmanageable having us all trading and taking profits. I've managed a fun paper portfolio before and if you're not careful it can turn into a side job. Or maybe allow everyone one trade per year? What would be handy is some sort of shared fake trading account where we could all log in and share management of the portfolio (but maybe I'm showing my socialist side again, ha ha! ;) ) .-= Monevator´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Monevatorcom/~3/lBAA63Lcf9c/" rel="nofollow">Weekend reading: Happiness is a ton of great blog links</a> =-.

Did you see how AUD and Gold rallied up? Everybody here will be dragged down. We'll see :) But seriously, my parents should have named me "Lenora or Lenka" instead of "Stefani" to turn my luck around in Samurai Fund.
