It appeared in the Headline story today [Wednesday, January 25, 2012 run date] of my most loved financial columns http://www.fin24.com which in turn is owned by Media24, a name you will recognize from a previous Blog. In other respects, but excluding my respect, they represent the big guys that you find amongst investment bankers, weapon smugglers, con-artists and other Politicos and the general Crook-in-Chief schmucks that we see in Davos every year. Oops, I almost forgot options, derivative and future option dealers, the rich guys stealing from the poor.
Let me not distract you any further. Quote Reuters [verbatim from Fin 24]:
FREAKY: “Orange Sports Figure” by Jean-Michel Basquiat at a contemporary arts exhibition in Doha. The painting is estimated to fetch between $4 680 000 and $4 240 000 when it is auctioned off in London. (Reuters)
It’s yours [the painting I mean] if you have a spare 5 million USA dollar bill once the Bama has done with you.
And for my old friends, you may note that something shocked me out of my recent state of paralysis; with your love I shall improve; or so I hope.
