Dialogo immaginario che può essere capitato ieri nel pomeriggio a New York e dintorni.
NYSE : Hello, this is the NYSE trading desk Goldman Sachs : Don’t shut the markets down ! Don’t shut them down !
NYSE : I’m sorry but the NYSE closes promptly everyday. Tut tut !
GS : Like Hell it does punk ! I have a hallpass from Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner !
NYSE : What ? You will have to fax that over. We close in 30 minutes.
GS : Listen-I’m long 30,000 gold contracts and I have crude futures coming out of my ears. The market is rolling over…The executions are slow and my Sun Sparc trading machine just had a kernal panic !
NYSE : I’m so sorry, the markets are near closing. I’m sorry your black box CPU crashed.
FED : Hello, The Federal Reserve Chairman is now in the conference call
NYSE : Mr. Chairman ? Are you there ? Is this true ? hold the markets open ?
FED : Ben do me a favor and extend trade hours. I have 5 banks holding nukes and they need to dump them on the markets fast.
NYSE : Yes sir-I’ll send an AP notification
GS : NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
FED : Goldman needs to drop these positions for the holidays, OK ?
NYSE : Is that…legal ?
FED : I am the law. I have a hallpass from Obama. Don’t worry, only the hedge funds are harmed in this action. Shut up already – I’ve gone out on a limb for you for the last time (!)
NYSE : Done-special alert sent. 15 minutes overage. Good luck
GS : Thanks, Ben
