Follow the money

[Boatwrench]

So my job has has been sucking the life out of me and I haven't followed any news or even much for the last six months. This debt ceiling deal, Standard and Poors rating change, and the roller coaster stock markets. Who made money? Some group or corporation always comes out ahead, who is it?

Sad to hear that you don't, at the moment, have a work/life balance.
My philosophy on that is that I make my job fit my life, not the other way around. I don't eat, sleep, crap and dream work. Of course, I am just a peon, and don't wear a tie to work , and never will.
As to who got rich(er), it surely was an insider who could cash out before the shit hit the fan. It always works that way.
