At least for a while this is likely to be the final word on The Rock.
It’s in today’s Alex.
Oh, and thanks to Johan Steunenberg at Calculated Risk for pointing out this one – Credit Suisse looks like they have their own “rogue traders”. If you don’t read German (and mine is not the best, so apologies If I have misunderstood) Johan is speculating that CS may have taken a cue from a previous Alex (mentioned below) and found some rogue traders to cover up sub-prime losses.
That would be false reporting, wouldn’t it? Anyway, It looks like a story worth following.

Well, I’m not that much speculating, as I have neither an idea nor connections. Just being ironic, and combining the Alex cartoon you pointed at on the 13th with the news I read about Credit Suisse. Sharing my chuckle :-)

Yes – it is handy sitting next to a German speaker – even if it is Schwyzerdütsch. After I wrote this one I asked him to translate for me. He got a good chuckle out of it too.
The scary thing is that he may know some of the guys that got it wrong.
