If I was a NYSE trader on the floor
I would pose in looks of absolute horror, dejection, crying. I would be on the cover of newspapers everywhere. It would be awesome.

Wait until everyone clears out. Slump against a desk with a handful of crumpled papers. Put your forefinger and thumb on your temples and stare at the floor. Or look upward with a pleading look, on the verge of tears, lips tightly pursed.

If i were polynesian, I would haul all my kids to Temple Square every GC and hang out until they put us in the magazine.

Why not just put a gun in your mouth? Or go out on a window ledge?

One of the most memorable 9/11 pics I can remember is the one of the Wall Street banker, covered head to toe in this grey dust that looks like the contents of a vacuum bag. He is holding a briefcase and is wearing a shirt and tie.

That doesn't sound familiar. Of course, that day I was more concerned with a cousin who worked in the North Tower than anything else. It took a couple of days, but we found out that she was safe. By then, the only photos were of the pile of debris.

I love watching the NYSE ticker on my laptop. Though it refreshes pretty quickly, on mornings like today I can't refresh fast enough. This free fall is disgusting and fascinating all at once.
