George Soros sued by ex-girlfriend for reneging on real estate promise
Posted by admin / Under Short Track Motor Racing
A beautiful Brazilian soap star has the lead role in her own daytime drama, which casts George Soros, the billionaire financier of lefty causes, as a heavy who not only broke her heart, but also reneged on a promise to give her an Upper East Side apartment worth $1.9 million. The drama will be staged in Manhattan Supreme Court, where 28-year-old Adriana Ferreyr yesterday filed a blockbuster $50 million suit charging, among other things, that the frisky octogenarian slapped her around while they were in bed discussing his real-estate betrayal. The sultry actress and the mogul, who's worth some $14.5...

Morgan Stanley Goes Short Treasurys.... Again
Posted by admin / Under Short Track Motor Racing
It has not been Jim Caron's decade. The Morgan Stanley rates strategist, riding on the coattails of the always wrong Morgan Stanley economics team led by David Greenlaw, has been wrong in his annual rates call year after year after year. Which is unfortunate because while unable to see the forest for the trees, Caron does have a better grasp of rates than most other Wall Street penguins. That said, just like everyone else in the status quo, Caron has just come out with another short duration call (i.e. sell bonds), probably the 6th time in a row he has...

Your skimpy skirts and high heels just won’t do, trainee solicitors told
Posted by admin / Under Short Track Motor Racing
Unfortunately, the sight of dozens of trainee solicitors arriving for work in “very short skirts” did not fill senior partners with the joys of spring. After several complaints about the amount of flesh on show, an email was sent to the company’s 105 trainees reminding them of the sartorial standards expected by their employer — one of the five leading firms in the City known as the “Magic Circle”. Women were told to increase the lengths of their skirts and reduce the height of their heels or face “uncomfortable discussions” with the human resources department. “We’ve been asked to draw...

Shorting China via Australian Markets (Any slowdown in China will show up down under first)
Posted by admin / Under Short Track Motor Racing
If there is one obvious short in the global economy for 2011, it has to be Australia. They have developed a leveraged relationship to growth in China, with an internal currency that has appreciated to parity with the US dollar. This sets their equity markets up for a serious beating if any of the following happens. I personally would not be shocked if all 4 of these happen at or near the same time. Slowdown in Chinese demand for raw commoditiesHousing Bubble Pops due to raising interest ratesRaising interest rates due to inflation expectationsYuan ~ US Dollar volatility Any slow...
