Hey Merrill…I got your STEAMING Bonus Right HERE

Too freaking funny . One thing for sure, traders are a bunch of childish imbeciles who can’t be trusted with wiping their own ass, let alone money.
I have been mad at CBS before, but oy!
But there may be more to this story than just a bonus rage. The story has been widely discussed within Merrill itself, and the predominant belief there is that it wasn’t a dissatisfied fixed-income researcher who engaged in the fecal protest. Inside the bull pen, the word is that it was an equities guy who came over to the fixed-income department and “inappropriately relieved” himself. He was supposedly seeking revenge against fixed-income for credit-market losses that have affected bonuses across the firm.
Insert Merrill and Poop joke if you must.
