The RO Report, "Recovery" Edition

After the mass "ass-mangling" that the office suffered through yesterday, traders were tentative today, but largely profitable.

Oh, and speaking of "ass-mangling," did you see that close on AIG? How about LEH? Yeah, yesterday's close was tape painting at its very finest. Well done, PPT. Oh, and MER... it's gonna be a tense weekend in Washington.

Anyway, so I took it easy. How can you trade when Ike is torturing those poor CNN anchors down in Texas. I love it. MSM shitheads getting pummeled by hurricane-force winds.

"The winds are really picking up down here... it's raining so hard that my it feels like my face is being whipped by thousands of tiny, tortuous devils."
