pire,

you might have some of these naive folks fooled here with your quaint jargon pulled out of your ass, but just like you have little respect for those lazy engineers, I have little respect for 'financial engineers' like you. If your memory is short-lived, wasn't it your kind that caused the recession that we are living in right now? You say you produce 'markets?' Is markets a euphemism for 'bubbles?'

You are are so full of shit it's not even funny. Wall street made you slaves so that big banks can make more money. Your kind complied, pulling out models very few people actually understand out of your ass and repackaging CDOs and toxic assets worth basically nothing into AAA securities. In other words, you got your PhD in figuring out how to trick naive investors into buying shit and you call that creating 'markets.' Ha.

You brag about what the cutoff GPA in finance is. You brag about low acceptance rate in finance PhD programs. Why don't you brag about how your CDOs crippled the world economy? Why don't you brag about how the taxpayers had to bail out your sorry Street ass so that people like you can live another day? Why don't you brag about how nobody outside wall street thinks you people should be getting the money that you get? People don't complain about anesthesiologist racking in 400K. People don't complain about top professors racking in 300K. Why? Because these people haven't caused a financial meltdown.

Even Greenspan admitted that your financial engineering is so out of whack that he doesn't understand the complexity of mathematics that went into your sub-prime mortgages. That is nothing to boast about.

Enough said. I will let you have the last word if you wish. Humor me!
