Overheard on the Trading Floor

WHITECOLLAR REDNECK

"You know, the last time the S&P was down here, the macarena was still cool." You can probably come up with other examples of how the country's changed from 1996 to 2009, but that's a pretty striking one. It's my hope that tomorrow I won't be saying "You know, the last time the S&P was down here, Philip Michael Thomas was starring on a hit TV show."
