Don't go there! I used to work for UBS, about 11 years ago. I (and |
| 11 |
many others) was laid off when they lost a fortune on the dot-com |
| 12 |
bubble. Then they were bankers to Enron. Then they were bankers to |
| 13 |
Worldcom. [See a pattern here?] Then they bought sub-prime mortgage |
| 14 |
portfolios -- as hedge instruments. Now they've been shafted by one of |
| 15 |
their traders. |

Of course, all of the directors are business geniuses, as all senior |
| 18 |
City folk are. |
