@Vishnu- That is quite a cheap dig dude. This is not rediff.com- your clever comments are probably more suited there. It is a serious blog with excellent analysis. You may agree/disagree with the analysis with your own analysis. But please don’t indulge in tabloid style comments (By the way, is your argument that bankers shouldn’t have views on banking industry? Then who should- soldiers?)

A small suggestion for next time: Please base your comments on the argument instead of the person who is giving the argument.

I doubt if Wall Street Journal, Economist, Krugman, Martin Wolf or, for that matter, Merwyn King (who made a brilliant speech at the Mansion House on June 17th) were motivated by a sense of personal loss or jealous when they talked and wrote about enhanced moral hazard, post-crisis.

(Pun intended) The disclaimer only states that these views are personal but doesn’t say that these views don’t belong to your employer.
Assuming that it is a blog by Anantha Nageswaran(after googling it turns out you are a banker yourself…LOL), these could, perhaps, represent the views of Credit Suisse(?). Poking at a firm which hasn’t lost much in this crisis is your way of showing enmity or jealousy(?) by a firm which did lose substantially during the sub-prime crisis. Is this all just because you lost and they won??

And, anyways, for outsiders like me, all of you sucked money with out any feeling of guilt. Perhaps, what the Citi guy said is true…”As long as the music is playing, keep dancing”.

Or would you pay back atleast some of the excess (thinking ethically, morally etc.) you shouldn’t have earned??
