Is The Party Over?
The B@nk held an inve5tment c0nference, titled 'Is The Party 4 Equ1t1es 0ver?'. This came timely, esp. when the D0w and N@sd@q slipping on Friday.
Coincidentally, there was a private function held on the second floor of the h0tel. The signage says, "XXX's 1 year old birthday party".
How lucky!
When I reached the venue, there were booths set up, as if it was a career fair. I had my attendance signed and the B@nk gave us a bottle of merlot, and another bottle of chardonnay.
@berdeen gave away mini-fans and note books,@berdeen bags, B@rclays nothing, @lli@nz card-holders, 5chroders notebooks and 1st St@te bags.
Each fund h0use sent a rep to discuss its views on the current m@rket, what it's going to be like in 08 and 09, and which area to 1nvest in.
All in all, the c0nference took 4 hours for the fund h0uses to give its views. The Q&@ was surprisingly interesting.
Tea break was good. Got together with the girls from my batch and it seems everyone has been doing well. The food was ok, with salmon bread and chocolate.
Some of the girls adjourned to B 0ne for the party after the conference.
No doubt I would want to win an iPod or a digi cam, I thought I could use my Sat better.
Nights.
The world's full of crazy people.
Here's proof:
