    黎明前的黑暗

    最近公司上上下下的同事都坐立不安,虽然所有的人都忙得焦头烂额,还是常有看见大家聚在一起窃窃私语,谈话中总参插着“数字”“六月”这几个词。整个华尔街都在等着6月底的来临,更准确的说,在今年是627号星期五。

     

    分红的季节到了。

     

    投资银行历来的传统是在上半年的最后一天发出整年的奖金,过去的几年里,因为金融市场特别活跃,奖金是远超过整年的薪水的。大家辛辛苦苦地干了一年,等的就是这一天。每年的一年级分析师都会按表现被分为45个等级,每个等级的奖金差别一万美金。投资银行就是用这样残酷的制度约束并同时鼓励手下小兵小将。当然,市场不好的时候裁员更是首选,从去年底到现在,我们公司全球已经干掉了快5000人了。

     

    过去几年里,由于华尔街分红而产生的副产品不可胜数。比如说伦敦某餐厅专门推出了一份“分红套餐”,每人1000英镑左右。在纽约,各酒吧和舞厅都是银行家们像流水一样地买所谓的“酒瓶服务”,也就是一瓶几百甚至上千美金的伏特加。曼哈顿的夏日的夜晚,空气里弥散的都是狂欢的酒精。

     

    今年呢?

     

    Bear Stearns 董事会今天正式通过JP Morgan摩根大通的收购。从今天起,2008529日,这个在华尔街85年历史的老牌投资银行,就这么在地球上永远消失了。我们现在到底是在危机的开端,还是黎明前的黑暗?有或许是在暴风眼中央?没人知道。知道的只是627号就快到了,就算吃不上分红套餐,快要结束了职业生涯中可能是最辛苦的一年,再怎样还是值得开瓶庆祝的。

    My girl, you are going to witness first hand the biggest cataclysmic financial crash, far exceeding the 1929 Wall Street Crash in magnitude and damaging effects, the world has ever seen, which will lead USA into a economical situation to which "great depression" is too mild a phrase to describe.

    Hold your breathe~~
