re: Talking about hate, what is the cause for Nickleback hate?

I don't think I hate Nickelback as much as I would hate hanging out with people who like Nickelback. I know they exist, but I don't know any, thank God....

I stand corrected. Would it be correct in assuming that GLB was a large reason for the financial meltdown in 08? Seems like if it was just IB selling crappy derivatives then many CB would still be alive today. I never understood why anyone on the buy side used IB research analysts. Maybe the...
