Last note for today

Just finished reading the latest articles on the Financial Times website in order to be somewhat prepared for tomorrow morning when our Capital Markets professor will begin his lecture with a cheery "So how are the maaarkets doing today..." - usually the signal to a condensed military-style interrogation round in class. In this context I just remembered two jokes I heard at the beginning of the week, admittedly not very sensitive. Anyway, can't help but share:

Q: What's the definition of optimism?
A: An investment banker who irons five shirts on a Sunday evening.

Q: What is the difference between an investment banker and a large pizza?
A: The pizza can still feed a family of four.


Apologies to my friends in Investment Banking - hope your week is going well.
