Picture : 30th October Who said that Short Sell is Good ???

" ... The root of the hedge funds' demise lies, appropriately perhaps, in the murky practice of short selling, in which traders seek to make huge sums by betting on the share price of a company falling.
Traders agree to sell shares in a company (in this case VW) to a third party at a fixed price and by a certain date, then wait for the price to fall before buying the shares and handing them on to the third party.
The difference between the agreed sale price and the price at which the trader buys the shares is profit. But if the share goes up, traders are exposed to potentially limitless losses ..."

Found through an article of John Worth :

Icelanders are not terrorists (but what does a terrorist look like?). Jon Worth, Euroblog (en)
" ... Using the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 to secure assets from Icelandic banks that were collapsing was over the top for sure - it does not send the best signals to Iceland, and after all a lot of the UK high street is owned by Icelanders (West Ham Football Club too). So Eirikur and his campaigners probably have a point ..."

Picture : 22nd October Sarkozy Voodoo Doll

Sarkozy threatens to sue over voodoo doll. Henry Samuel, The Telegraph (en)
" ... Each body part of the doll, which comes with a set of pins and a "voodoo instruction manual", is accompanied by a provocative quote related to the French president. These include his campaign slogan "work more to earn more," or "platform heels" – referring to the diminutive president's chunky shoes designed to gain a few inches in height. On his groin is written "scum" – the word he used to describe young suburban delinquents before the riots of 2005 ..."

Voodoo doll irks Sarkozy . Charles Bremner, The Times (en)

" ... The doll, issued 10 days ago, is matched by another set featuring Ségolène Royal, the Socialist whom he defeated in last year's presidential election. The voodoo kits had scored only a mild media interest until Sarkozy unleashed the legal artillery. The Sarkozy one at least is now likely to be a hit ...

... Sarkozy is breaking with a long tradition with his quick finger on the legal trigger. Other presidents -- the late François Mitterrand in particular -- have used dirty tricks such as tax audits and illegal phone-tapping to exact revenge against media trouble-makers but they have eschewed litigation. In January, Sarkozy sued Ryanair for using his image in a jocular advertisement. He sued Le Nouvel Observateur magazine last spring over a mobile phone text message that he purportedly sent his former wife Cécilia. He later dropped the case ..."

Picture : 15th September 745 Seventh Avenue NY

"Construction began in the fall of 1999 on 745 Seventh Avenue, a 1,000,000-square-foot office tower in midtown Manhattan that The Rockefeller Group co-developed.
Lehman Brothers, Inc., the global institutional investment bank, purchased the building in late 2001 for its new corporate headquarters ... The outstanding design by world-renowned architects Kohn Pedersen Fox takes full advantage of the importance of the site’s strategic location, bringing Rockefeller Center to Times Square at the corner of 49th Street and Seventh Avenue."
